I'm from Dutchess County NY but now live in Clermont Fl. since 2011. One of my favorite hobbies was candle making and then turned into a candle making business for a number of years until I was ready to move to Flordia. It was too hot for candles in Florida so I tried all types of hobbies like Mosaics with glass and stone but eventually I got into some jewelry making. Well now I found my nitch and have grown to love it when I started to watch many youtube videos with wonderful artists that helped with tutorials. I'm grateful to all that helped guide me in this direction, without them I wouldn't be here loving what I do. So Thank you!! My other love is German Shepherds, if I could I would have ten of them or more but hubby says no. So one is fine, I can spoil him and give him my full attention. He loves swimming in the pool 6 months of the year and nice walks by the lake or on the beautiful trails here in Clermont.
