Support Systems


If someone would have told me one day I would be making jewelry and selling it in my own store, I would have thought they were crazy! Today my mom commented, " My little beader. Who would have guessed you would be making and selling your own jewelry. It took me a year to even get you to one class!. Now look at you." And it is true. I fought the whole concept of making jewelry. Now, I love it. It is a part of me. My boyfriend created an invoice for me today. He has sat with me through art shows. He takes my jewelry to work and sells it. What a great support system. I would like to think I did this all by myself but the truth is, I am a small portion of the big picture. The bead shop owners who supported me and guided me, my family who stuck by me and the people on Etsy who guided me cannot ever be thanked enough. Of course we can't forget the buyers who feed the passion. Thanks everyone for your help and support. You have made me whole.

totally random, but did you by any chance make those beads in this picture or did you purchase them somewhere?
