my name is carla. I have been designing and making jewelry for 4yrs. Before this my twin Darla and i use to do wood crafting. 11 years ago my twin lost her battle to cancer and i lost my best friend. So wood crafting ended also for me.With each piece of jewlery i make i see the sparkle of the beads and stones i use in my designs.They remind me of the sparkle she brought to my life.  i am now semi retired as a registered nurse from the hospital, and am now doing home health part time. i love making jewlery, and have made some very good friends on line that also make jewlery and beads. A special thx to all the on line jewelry makers that have helped me in so many ways.
