As a child, art has always fascinated me.
The idea of being able to create something was absolutely spectacular!
I was the little girl who
- was always lingering at the arts & crafts tables long after the activity was over
- spent extra hours in the art room during her recesses
- kept drawers full of random art supplies and made many "master pieces".
(some end products turned out really really bad when I was a kid, but I thought they were beautiful anyways).
Art is my passion.

My History!
Ever since grade eight, when a youth group counselor introduced me to pretty beads, string and clasps,
I have been hooked onto this fascinating craft. I started exploring with different materials and
created many funky new bracelets, necklaces and earrings.
At first it was only for myself and family, but then I started giving them out as
birthday gifts for my girlfriends, and then even Christmas gifts for teachers.
Finally, one summer day in 2010, a family friend asked me if I would like to start selling my designs and creations. I already had a couple friends who asked me about selling me jewelry before, but I had never considered it seriously until that summer.
So, I set up my jewelry at a local department store in the summer of 2010 (until spring 2011), and voila~ I had started my own line of jewelry! Of course, I have yet to mention all the prep work with the logo design, item cataloging, paper work, etc. But all the hard work was worth it cause I LOVE doing this :)
There's still a lot of work to do, but I'm taking it step by step and savoring the experience. !
