After getting through another birthday yesterday, I am now anxious for spring.  I now focus on our time change in two weeks.  This photo is from a pretty little place in the mountains called "Cascade Springs".  Pretty place to visit for an afternoon.  I will be posting some more of my creations in the next couple days.  I may even post other non-jewelry items.  I have a few weeks off school, so I will try to take advantage of the time.

Being that I am new to blogging I will tell you a little about myself.  I am currently living in northern Utah, a native of Southern Nevada, I grew up in a small farm town outside Las Vegas.  In my blog I will share stories of my Jewelry and other items for sale, plus add any other tidbits I may have on my mind.  Not always pertaining to my creations, but will be something for sure. 

I began making jewelry after becoming unemployed in 2008.  Though my whole life I've enjoyed various crafting type projects.  I've knitted, sewn, refurbished, and also love pyrography.Being out of work for 18 months was tough, yet, after that I just have not been satisfied at any of the three jobs I've held since.  The freedom I experienced spending my days creating anything I wanted, working when ever I wanted is now in my veins, and I cannot seem to shake it to conform to the Corporate world full of ungrateful and unethical bosses.  Currently I'm working towards my Psychology degree, I love talking and helping people, so I hope it will help make my dreams come true at some point, though I have no idea what that dream is.  I just know it's not the path I'm currently on.

At the age of 39, I am married 18 years now, and our only son (child) moved out of the house 3 weeks ago.  We are fortunate that our son has a good career at 20, and is now enjoying freedom as a young adult. 

I hope you all enjoy my blog, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have..........
As I began making jewelry I found that this is what I love to look at.  Delicate  and elegent peices that can dress up a casual wardrobe, or be worn to a formal event.  I love elegent styles of the 40s-early 60s.  Inspired by the glamour of dressing up just for a dinner party, movie, prom, or weddin.  Back when women took pride in their appearance, and men had manners.  This is the type of crystal jewelry I could picture wearing that would sparkle like diamonds.
