		<description>Hi Toni,
How are you?  Just found your Blog and read all the posts.  Wow, you have been hard at work getting your business together in such a short time.  I have been planning this since I made my first pieces for my bridal party almost 6 years ago this October!  We creative types are always emotional and have doubts about our direction and work.  It is par for the course.  My beginnings are in Fine Art and Graphic Design with a degree in Advertising/Commercial Art/Marketing.  It&#039;s been a long road of creativity. I am a stay-at-home mom after working for over 25 years.  My daughter and husband are my priority.  Since I don&#039;t have that creative outlet from work anymore I express it in everything I do in my home.  Sometimes I long for the days I had the time to paint, draw and illustrate.  Now I have developed a passion for jewelry making, like you.  I will not let my dreams or creative desires die. Keep up the pursuit of your dreams, you owe it to yourself...Good Luck!
