I work for a insurance company and I'm also a certified bench jeweler and graduate gemologist. I don't work in a shop currently but I'm hoping to start building my shop with the money I make from my 9-5 job. I enjoy my day job, it makes me think and keeps me challenged. But my passion is making jewelry. I love working in white gold and interesting gemstones. If I could afford to work in platinum, I would.....

Here I'm not so different. Almost the opposite is true. Here, I'm almost boring. Maybe I need to move back to Kansas...I'm just not used to fitting in so well....
If you knew me you would be amazed to know that I've become one of those Suzy Homemaker's.. I cook, I clean. I love my Dyson. I garden. I love working in the yard. Not only puttering around in the dirt. Growing veggies and plants but also I just enjoy mowing the lawn. The only thing I haven't been able to get on board with is a mom-mobile...
