1 when did you open shop? I started my online store in June of 2004.

2 when did you start crafting? I've been making rosaries and jewelry mainly for me or friends for 27 years. Most of the time I gave them away as gifts. When my husband died in April of 2004, I needed something to help pay the bills and it just seemed natural to turn it into a business.

3 Are craft stores evil? Do you spend a lot of time when you go to one? Craft stores are places to get lost in! I try not to go to one too often because I have a habit of loosing track of time while I'm there!

4 whats youre favorite item to make? My favorite kind of rosary to make is sterling silver and gemstone wire wrapped, probably because I don't get a chance to do that as often as I would like. New jewelry designs are my favorite things to make in the jewelry part of my business. I love starting from scratch and seeing where it ends up.
