Beads For Life ~ We can save the world one bead @ a time.
I love what we do, as artist, we believe we can save the world through our work, whatever that work may be. We believe that by holding on to our beliefs for a better tomorrow, we will create it. Why? Because we can see it, sense it, and most of all they're are no options. We have too make peace a reality, for ourselves, our children, and our children's children.

It's Not Just Business
Everyone knows doing business in a small town, (or a very competitive one), can be a challenge. Especially when everyone you have to do business with, has some kind of personal connection in some way. That makes doing business, as business a bit funny. I would say it's a touchy situation, becuase it's not just business. People tend to make things personal, or, expect that since you're their friend, family member or who knows what the relationship, they just demand more, expect more, and feel they're allowed to have more breaks.
