Jewelry...where to start?!

Over my birthday weekend in October, Mom and I were talking about making jewelry and all the pieces that can be made for any occasion.  On our travels, she took me to a bead store and it was love at first glimpse of glass beads :) 


The store was filled with all colors, shapes, sizes and gorgeous completed pieces of jewelry.  I was searching for a hobby and decided to pick some beads up and try my hand at it.  Little did I know it would fill a need in my life after work hours and provide me with an outlet on those stressful days!  


As I scoured websites seeking answers to my jewelry queries, I kept returning to Etsy.  I read the reviews, good and bad.  I fretted over starting something there and finally gave in.  Why not give it a try, right? 


RIGHT I WAS!  I love Etsy and the ease of posting.  Albeit I have not made a ton of sales but I have made jewelry that I enjoy and that I'm proud of.  I have shared the site with folks and have asked them to share it with others.
