Card creations

FINALLY!  My papercrafting mojo is returning!!!
I owe a B.I.G. THANKYOU to my friend, Kim Peles!  This woman does not meet strangers.  She has such a kind and loving spirit.  Kim hosts a monthly Stamp Camp.  It's always a good time filled with food, fun, creating and friends.  This time around we made these cards and one other project.

A foray into a new adventure....JEWELRY!!

About one year ago, while shopping, I inadvertently stumbled into another creative avenue - this being creating jewelry!  While I'm still very much a novice with so much to learn, I enjoy it and enjoy sharing my creations with others.

Along this journey, I meant a beautifully spirited lady named Tamiah.  She oozes creativity and positivity from her pores.  Through our discussions, Tamiah encouraged me to "stop giving my stuff away and turn this into a business."  And while it will not be my main hustle, it is fun and exciting to share my creations with others.

On July 13th, Tamiah hosted a Natural Hair Meet-Up which showcased several vendors including my Beautifully Exquisite jewelry line.  Here's some pictures from the event!









This is the jewelry set that I donated for the IANT raffle!  Oh la la!
