I started making beaded jewelry after I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2007. I had a lot of time on my hands when I wasn't sleeping or being too sick and since I had to leave my job I wanted a inexpensive way to make Christmas gifts. I went to a local bead store and the rest is history! Beading has been such a help to me in dealing with the disease and now I also have a paper crafting habit that is as much fun and helpful as the jewelry! I started to sell my items to support my beading habit and now I am actually focused on trying to make a profit. It is a lot of work with the web pages and on-line stores but it is work on my terms so my health isn't effected. I am very happy doing this and want to keep it that way.
