- About me
I work in the Bead & Jewelry Supply industry. I work in our family business a Bead and wedding boutique specializing in.... Swarovski crystal my favorite! I think I have a obsesive crystal disorder where I have to have more & more crystal. so I include Swarovski cystal components in each design.. and sparkle my way thru my day. I am a parent of a Teenager and proud to say she is quite a jewelry designer herself. (when she is in the mood)
- Experience and Creativity
Completely self taught I rely on my own creativity and Imagination but after 15 years of crafting,emellishing clothes, embroidery and making Jewelry... I think I have finally found my niche. and found what I really love to do. I took 2nd place in the Professional category the 2006 Swarovski Create Your Style design contest which was my very first competion. making jewelry or any type of creativity can bring out personalities in a person sometimes hidden. my jewelry Designs showcase the imagination and innovation of Swarovski Crystal Components. I teach Jewelry making and Crystallized wedding seminars for Swarovski as a freelance designer.
- Hobbies and Interests
Crystal beads and components are my passion some people work to live I work for Crystal and only Swarovski Crystal. Cooking: I love to cook I rarely follow an exact recipe cooking is creative and like beading you can make anything your heart desires or you imagine. travel: sometimes life is crazy and no time to really go somewhere so I often travel by travel books or DVD. but sometimes, living on an Island can give you Island Fever so nothing better than hopping on a airplane and travel anywhere. I run away several times a year sometimes too many
- Favorite Movies and Books
I love old Romantic movies or anything that makes you cry.. I like romance comedy, Audrey Hepburn Movies I guess you could say I am a hopless romantic Mafia and suspense are fun too. Anne of Green Gables is my all time favorite for books and movies..
