I never though I have any arts and crafts talents until few years ago. One of my best friends from Romania (yeah, that's where I am from) gave me this great necklace for Christmas. I loved it! And I said to my self "I wish I could do that"... And then I decided to give it a try!
Goodness, the first item ever created by me, was horrendous... but I was so proud of myself. I finally created something! Who would have believed that. Going to the beads store was such an adventure! I got hooked, I loved all the little beads and wires and clasps, and bought a bunch of them even though I had no idea what to do first. But little by little things started to take shape... first some necklaces, then a bracelet, then some earrings. People at work started noticing my jewelries and started asking for some! I was so excited! Finally I can say that I have some creative genes in me.
Recently I went to an arts and crafts fair and I loved it! People bought my jewelries. I still could not believe that complete strangers would pay to own something that I made!
So, I finally took the plunge! I made business cards, I had a jewelry party and now I am working on my own etsy space (will post the link once it's up and running). Wish me luck!
