My name is Donna. I've been making "stuff" for as long as I can remember. I began making and selling beadwork at pow wows when I was a teenager, but had to give it up when my daughter was born. After that I dabbled in computer graphics (mostly gui design) but never really did a whole lot with it.

It's a never ending addiction.
