How The Journey Started

 

As a child, I always loved making jewelry out of junk, old bottle caps, string and buttons from my grandmothers' sewing box. Nowadays, those items are called found objects.  Sometimes I would keep and wear the jewelry or give my creations as gifts.  The love and passion that I had as a child for creating jewelry, was lost. I received an email from one of our local bead stores here in the city, offering a Make a necklace, bracelet, and earring class, so I immediately signed up. My Love and Passion for creating jewelry resurfaced and was restored and on that 12th day of November. As they say, "The rest is history!"
After leaving the corporate world and the daily high volume of chattering, it offered me a chance to Reinvent my life and renew my Passion for creating jewelry. While working in the mainstream of life, I wondered if there was something more for me than the 8-6 daily grind and unhappiness and feeling unfulfilled.   I found out that Yes!, there is something more:
