When I discovered my creative abilities within the creative art form of handcrafting jewelry, I knew immediately that I had discovered my purpose and my passion. God has blessed me with two beautiful children and knew I was searching for the means to work at home to enable me to have more time with them.
The sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from creating beautiful designs has given me direction, and I feel this was an indescribable blessing. It further inspires me to forge ahead always striving to improve and discover more. It has been my continual resolution to pursue my creative interests and the response from so many people around me regarding my work has been incredibly rewarding and encouraging.
I wish to credit my mother who always told me to have Faith and that I could do anything I put my mind to. I believe when she passed away in Jan 2005, she passed her creative genius to me. Her love and encouragement were never ending and gave me confidence to achieve and become who I am today.
I also wish to thank my loving and incredibly talented sister, Marilyn, for always instilling core values in me and for telling me my whole life to set my goals high. She has always told me that if you do what you love you will be successful. She has been a tremendous source of love and guidance all my life.
Thank you also to my loving husband for his endless support and for telling me the rewards would be immeasurable. Finally, I am most grateful for my beautiful children who are my main inspiration.
It is your passion that ignites you. I hope you find yours, as I have mine!
