As anyone who is creative knows, it is a constant joy to wake up each morning feeling full of ideas and haveing that I can do it today attitude.
What's funny and frustrating is gettting your ideas across to others on this planet.
I picke"d up my first bead about a year ago and the rest is history they say.
I taught myself everything there is to know about the jewelry business. How to design, create,and bring my ideas to life.
I mentored with a local jewelry designer in the area to fine tune my skills till I was ready to go on my own. And I create a new piece every day.
I feel so full of life when I am working with my jewelry. The sense of pride to see your piece come to life.
I especially enjoy watching the reactions from people when they say: "Oh, that piece of jewelery is lovely, where did you get it" and I reply " I made it myself" shock and disbelief and then the oh my god I want one please reaction always follows.
I have to say thank god for my family and my friends who have been my biggest supporters.
I sell at least one piece a week locally from someone in the family or friends who need a special something to go with a specific outfit.
Did I mention I love what I do.
The next big find, was a complete accident but opened up a whole new world for me.
I happened to be on the internet trying to create a website to sell my jewelry when I stumbled across ETSY.
I joined immediately and started my own jewelry business.
Not to mention the people are from everywhere around the globe and so friendly.

Have a great day.
