Hello!

So, those of you who know me at all know that I love making jewelry! I have even started looking at people's jewelry and trying to figure out how to make it (which I have successfully done several times). I have so much fun making it, and so many little adventures associated with it, so I thought I would make a blog about it.

I first learned how to make jewelry when I was an assistant girls' camp director the summer of 2008. We were supposed to plan a craft for every day, and the director knew how to make bracelets. She wasn't able to be at the camp during the day because she had to work, so she taught me to make bracelets. From their, I figured out how to make some rough necklaces as well. I taught the girls to do both and it was very fun!

After that, I found I could make jewelry to go with my clothes cheaper than I could buy it. So I would buy materials specifically to match an outfit. I went on that way for some time.

Then about a year and a half later, or about four months ago, my friend was looking for ideas for a girls' night, and I volunteered to teach how to make jewelry. That incident rekindled my love for the craft. I learned new ways to make clasps hold, new ways to make bead strands and create different looks, styles, textures, etc. Now it has practically become an obsession and I love it! It is very stress relieving for me.

Keep watching for more adventure stories, pictures, and even a few tips for making it too!
