Introductions

Since this would be a very boring blog without some writing on my part, I've decided to make my first entry today. I guess an introduction would be in order, so you can get to know me a little better. :)

My name is Becky and I live in a very small and sleepy little town in Wyoming. Wyoming has pretty much always been my home and I really haven't ever lived anywhere with a population that totals more than 20,000. I'm married to a wonderful husband who may not fully understand my crazy obssession with beads but he seems to be okay with it. I have a neurotic cat who likes to get in my business when I'm busy creating my designs. Her favorite thing to do is be a pest, and she's very good at it. I have a awesome and supportive family who are all rooting for me to succeed in my jewelry making venture.

My love of beads started at a young age. My mom bought me a set of plastic beads that were shaped like various pieces of clothing. I spent endless hours stringing and restringing the beads in different combinations. Then one day I was over at my aunt's house and she had all of her beads out. I pawed throught them oooing and awing at all the different shapes, sizes and colors. She ended up giving me her bead collection that Christmas as a present. So, I have her to thank for fostering a healthy liking for beads.

Inspiration comes to me just by going to a bead shop and looking at them. Immediately ideas start forming just by being surrounded by them. I also love combining different looks to create an entirely new one.

That's pretty much me in a nutshell. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and I will try to update it as often as possible. Take care!
