Crafty, that's me. I have always I loved to create things, but because work, family, and chores got in the way I had put it on the back burner for years. In 2010 when I quit my highly stressful job I decided it would be a great opportunity to do something that I love.
I started my crafting journey by designing pictures for family and friends.
Along the way I decided to try my hand at making jewelry.
Necklaces and pins
Loved designing them so much I decided to create item to sell on Etsy.
Besides selling my jewelry I also sell pictures.
During the holiday I sold Christmas ornaments and tags.
Some ornaments I specifically created for my grandchildren trying to capture some of their personality.
I continue to design and create. My mind is always thinking about what to do next. I am working on some more jewelry designs and also key chains that I will be selling on Etsy and some craft fairs this summer. Life is certainly what you make it and I have decided to make mine full of color, creativity, and most of all fun.
