Hey all! A little bit about myself. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom of 3, a part-time karate instructor/student, and a recent MBA graduate (June 2010).

I started making jewelry about six years ago and fell in love with the idea of turning something so simple as a bead into something beautiful. I love making jewelry, I love my customers and strive to show them my gratitude whenever possible. My goal is to turn a hobby I love into a career I love. I strive to make the best quality products without the huge markup of other jewelers.

I also give back to my community by donating pieces for silent auctions, canned/dry foods to food drives, and drop money whenever possible into charity drives.  Approximatly 15% went back into my community charities in 2009.

I have been a stay at home mom for almost 10 years, it has to be the most rewarding job I have ever had. I love being home and the opportunities it provides me to volunteer in my children's classrooms and be there whenever they need me.

I started training in karate in 1993 but took 7 years off while starting my family. I returned to the dojo when my children were old enough to start training too. I love karate and love that it is a family sport and activity. Teaching my kids and the other kids in the dojo about respect, kindness and just being the best they can be is the most best and most rewarding part of that position.

I hope you have a great day and thank you so much for visiting my site!
