Excerpt from profile:
Pictures and Info
"I reluctantly left my job of 7 years in August 2009. This was heartbreaking, because I truly loved my job. Things happened for a reason; a lesson to learn; a new chapter to start.
Now I am working full time crafting jewelry, painstakingly made to be sinfully seductive, wearable, inimitable, affordable and able to pass my standards which means I would personally buy these myself. I sincerely thank those who have supported me."
