I get inspired by everything around me..But right now I am working on my new collection that was all inspired by my life experiences that I wrote down in a journal..Like a storybook and how my faith in god has helped me get through the difficult times. I’m really excited about it.

What got you started crafting?
How I became involved in Creating jewelry is actually a funny story. Let me start from the beginning....Ahhh, It all started when I was in high school (10th grade to be exact) and I was in my fashion merchandising class (LOOOOVE) and remember watching a fashion show on tv and thinking that is exactly what I want to be when I grow up. A fashion designer....
Well, let's just say that god had other plans for me.. Years later, I was trying to find a sewing class to learn how to sew and couldn't get into one... And, I remember thinking If I couldn't get into the sewing class I would take a jewelry making class instead.. And well, the rest is history as they say..I never looked back in that rear view mirror again.

What have you made recently?
I just recently created a colorful dice ring I called my "Risk Taker" ring it's about taking risks in your life whatever that may be and not letting obstacles stand in your way.
Where do you sell your crafts presently?
I occasionally sell my work at local craft shows, but mostly on ebay and etsy
Why are handmade crafts important to you?
The reason I decided to create handmade items is the ability make to be creative and to make something that I created that was original and one-of-a kind that represented who I was.
