Craft Therapy
I’ve recently been asked what made me open up my shop and besides the obvious answer, that my designs are too fabulous not to share with the world and they will soon make me a millionaire, my shop has been a great stress reliever and much needed creative outlet. As I’ve written in my blog before, I work in the child welfare field and have recently started a new adventure as a family counselor. After a stressful day I love being able to lock myself up my studio for a couple hours and create something. Besides being amazingly therapeutic, I can also support my sometimes expensive craft habit with what I make from my shop (something my hubby appreciates!).

Wedding Bling
A good friend of mine recently asked me to design jewelry for her wedding and I just had to share her gorgeous pictures with you. I'm so happy for her and thrilled that I was able to be part of her special day in this way.
The beautiful bride wore my Simplicity Crystal & Pearl Earrings and a custom designed necklace with 6mm white Swarovski pearls/crystals.


Gina's lovely bridesmaids wore custom designed earrings, necklaces and bracelets composed of 4mm and 8mm Light Green Swarovski pearls.
