Hi - I'm a Nana (2 beautiful grandsons) from SD and am addicted to beading!  Have been dabbling in jewelry making i.e. bracelets, necklaces & earrings for about 2.5 years now.  I enjoy sharing my creations with friends/family and have also sold some my creations to co-workers and friends  (great way to re-order supplies)  I get a lot of my 'creative juices' by reviewing bead websites and bead magazines.  I really enjoy the non traditional styles (funky & nothing really balanced & a nice mixture of gemstones & metal together).  Recently have gotten two girlfriends involved in the jewelry making process & we've gotten together a few times  - great to share ideas!  Am excited to learn more on these forums!
