What is it that you design and create?
Jewelry
What is your favorite part of the design process?
That’s a tough one! I guess the end, seeing the finished product and knowing it’s done, it usually turns out to be nothing like what I had first imagined.
How did you come up with your business name?
I have to thank my Mother for that! I felt my own name sounded nice and was appropriate to use for a business of this type.
Where/How did this all begin?
It began in grade five with friendship pins. But I have been crafty all my life and I have tried many different things, I’ve always come back to jewelry though and the last few years have been a great journey.
Who or what inspires you?
Everything and nothing. There isn’t one place I look to for inspiration it just sort of hits me out of the blue.
What advice would you give other independent artists who are just starting out?
Work hard and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
What is your favorite indie purchase or trade?
A purse from a girl at my local farmers market, it’s a lovely blue and brown pinstripe bag.
What’s on your iPod/music player right now?
A heavy mix on my MP3 player. Classical in the house stereo.
What t.v. shows are you currently hooked on?
I don’t watch very much tv, but when I do it’s usually a CSI or Law and Order, something like that.
What was the last movie you watched?
First Born (I think that’s what it was called)
What’s your favorite food?
Pasta, but I like a lot of different foods especially if it’s spicy.

Coffee in morning herb tea in afternoon/evening
What store could you walk around in for hours and be happy?
Jewelry supply store, something with lots of great tools and stones!
Any pets?

Favorite place to visit or place you’d like to visit?
My favorite place is here in Campbell River I’m lucky enough to live in paradise! But there’s so many places I would love to visit. I want to explore my own country more, I would love to go to the east coast and up north, but I would also love to travel the world, there are so many amazing places I don’t even know where to start.
If you could be a superhero, what would your name be and what would be your superpowers?
You mean I’m not a superhero? My kids may not agree, but lets see….
My name would be Super Duper Smiley Woman and I would be able to make everyone in the world happy all at the same time!

No one comes to mind
Favorite Holiday?
Christmas, having kids really makes Christmas fun!

A clog or maybe a flip flop

Favorite piece of clothing?
P.J’s Nice and comfy!
Do you speak any other languages? If not, would you like to learn one?
I’ve picked up a bit of Spanish from Dora the Explorer, but other than that, no. I wish I could speak another language though.
