A co-worker of mine got me interested in making my own jewelry when I complimented her on a necklace she wore one day.  When she told me she made it I thought I can do that, too!  "Fun jewelry" as I like to call it can be quite pricey and often not even made of quality materials.  My friend took me to her bead store and while I was overwhelmed by the millions of colors, shapes, and sizes of beads I was excited to see what I could come up with.
