I was under a lot of stress from my 9-5 job (aren't we all?). So, after a lot of thought, I decided to quit! I had worked for the same company for 8 years, and It was time for a change. I began to think what my next job might be and wether I was ready for it. When my husband and I took our annual vacation to Canada, I walked by a bead shop and decided to take a look. I came across tons of fun supplies and decided to bring some home with me.
Shortly thereafter I was making jewelry for myself and began to come up with more and more creative ideas. I was enjoying myself a lot! I got compliments on my jewelry everywhere I went, and as my creative abilities began to develop, my friends and family started to take notice. I started receiving special requests, and I took a lot of pride in making sure they all got what they asked for.
I have developed new friendships, continued creating, and even gotten a few consignment contracts along the way. I am not where I would like to be financially at this point, but I do have a smile on my face as I continue to pursue my creative passions. Etsy is such an inspiring community to be a part of. I could spend all day looking at all the beautiful things people make!
