From a whim to a business!

Many years ago, I wanted to learn how to make my own jewelry. So I signed up to take a jewelry class in a small town nearby my home in Florida.....and oh what trouble that started for me......! I found a passion!! Thousands and thousands of dollars later, constantly investing in new beads, materials, gemstones, sterling silver and then traveling to bead and jewelry shows all over the country finally lead me to Madison, Wi. near my oldest daughter and grandkids!
My youngest daughter, still in Florida, had started her own wall decal business on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/DaliDecals) and it has grown into a very large corporation. She convinced me to start my Etsy store (https://www.etsy.com/shop/dazzledesigns?ref=si_shop) and the rest is history. Love, Love, Love Etsy!!!
I reconnected with my high school sweetheart in 2009 (after my husband had passed away from cancer in 2007) and we now live on beautiful Lake Waubesa with Chewy (my sweet Cavachon) and Pecky (John's singing, talking Cockatiel).
We are both very interested in creating things....always working on some project or other. Woodworking, painting, building, decorating, planting, gardening, jewelry making, and now my adorable Garden Plant Stakes out of beautiful beads and whimsical knobs! They have sprouted from all of my potted plants, flowers and garden! My friends are always stopping by to pick up a new one for one of their new plants and I am now selling them in local gift shops.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit and have a wonderful day!
