I am a disabled grandmother and mother,living on the lowest amount of income on the SSD scale.I have my second pacemaker,and a stent,and am awaiting bypass surgery for other clogged arteries.I am also suffering from a partially paralyzed right arm,from my third heart attack,and unable to get gainful employment,I have been operating my own store since 1998,selling the jewelry that I make,and other things.Quite a "variety" store.I am suffering through the effects of a bad divorce,he used me and destroyed me with identity theft,through his "girlfriend",while waiting for his railroad retirement,which he fraudulently but succedfully got and still has.Meanwhile due to the identity theft,I lost my house,my car,everything,and had to start all over again.It was a stupid short term marriage,he used me and then left and ruined me.That simple.So please be careful of the "online" romances.You just never know.Well enough about that,I also have a daughter that is a police officer with a 5 year old daughter,she is off work on a work related injury,and also going tnrough a divorce.I help them as much as I can,which is why I am selling on ebay,I just cannot get out to the craft shows to sell anymore.I hope that business continues to improve,making jewelry is part of my continued therapy for my bad arm,but I do need money to pay the increasing ebay and paypal fees,as well as to purchase supplies so I can continue to make the jewelry.Also,of course,to help my family make ends meet with the cost of gas and all.I make quality products,I had to raise my two kids by myself,lost my first husband to Vietnam,and stayed a single mom the whole time.My son is in medical school,and daughter is a cop.I guess I did pretty good.My crafting got us through some real hard times.

So please check out my store,and if you find something that you like,and make a purchase,know that it is certainly going for a good cause.Thanks for stopping by,and please come back again.

I have been crafting all of my life,my parents were of Native American decent,now my kids and even my grandaughter are crafters,too.My kids helped me their whole lives growing up,to craft for craft shows for the money for especially Christmas and special needs.I was a nurse,then an assistant chef,and I have worked in a steel factory for the benefits until "they" busted my union and eventually closed down,I have waitressed,pumped gas,made cardboard boxes,baby sat.You name it,as long as it was legal,I have tried it.Now,I can only craft.

Never give up,just "keep on truckibg",though I cannot afford another van or the gas for one right now.My ex totalled my van when he left.He was not hurt but you should have seen what he did to the van! It was towed away on a flatbed,poor thing.

Have a great day.Thanks again for stopping by.
