Kim, my daughter, is the guilty party who showed me how to make a necklace.  We went to Walmart and I bought $5 worth of "turquoise" beads and headed back to her house, where she talked me though making my first bracelet.  Wow!  I made it myself!  We had no idea what was waiting for me in my little Pandora's Box of creativity.

     At the time, I was working as an interior designer for Star Lumber, helping folks choose the carpet, tile, and flooring for their new homes.               
    
     Some of the other designers were already beading necklaces.  I had women to share my ideas with.  We spent a few Sunday afternoons beading, laughing, and sharing ideas.  What fun!
     
     I soon became in demand at Star, providing jewelry for my co-workers to give as birthday gifts and Christmas presents.  They like the idea that my jewelry was original.  Their gifts became more special.  And I had fun doing it.
    
     That was several years back and here I am, still making jewelry and still loving it. 
    
     My latest collection includes what I call Vintage & Contemporary Fusion jewelry.  On a trip to Chicago, I bought a couple of vintage brooches at a cute little antique mall.  I used one of them as a pendant for a necklace and...  voila', a new necklace idea was born.  And I still make necklaces using all new materials.
