Come On In and Get to Know Me :)

Here's a collage of some of my pendants rings and bracelets :)

Here I am at a show. My friend, Hollie, from BlueBerryShoes took this pic for me :)

Here I am with my wonderful hubby, Myles

I figured that before I do too many of these "Feature Fridays" I should do one on me ;)

So here's a little bit about me:

I'm the oldest of 4 girls and I'm married to my very best friend! I have an 18 year old stepson and a 16 year old stepdaughter. I also have 5 munchkins (nephews and nieces). I love to do just about anything and everything artsy and craftsy! :)

The way I got into fusing glass was before I got married, my hubby bought me a piece of glass jewelry (nothing like what I do) and it fascinated me. I read a bunch of books on fusing glass and then took a Saturday glass on how to fuse glass. I love going to galleries and looking a huge glass pieces!! My dream is to have a kiln so big I can sit in it!! I just love fusing!! I want to learn how to blow glass too!!

My favorite thing to list would either have to be my chunky rings or my beach themes :)

I love chunky rings and have to wear my own everyday. I also love creating pendants with beach themes. I have lived in Florida all my love and love everything to do with the beach. I had a customer custom order a mermaid pendant, so I perfected my mermaid drawing skills. I already had my palm tree and then my beach themes just expanded from there :)

My favorite thing to do when not creating would have to be hanging out with my family. I am definitely a family person. I love that I live within 3 miles of my parents and my sisters. I just adore my munchkins too and love that I can be near them while they grow up!! :)
