Your "Aha" Moment

A Thursday night back in the mid nineties I took a earring making class at my local bead shop. It was a lot of fun and I was totally hooked.

The next day I went out and bought tools, supplies, and lots of beads,  That day I started making jewelry and haven't stopped since.  

That earring making class was my "Aha" moment. 

At that time in my life I needed to find a creative outlet, and doing jewelry inspired me in many ways.  Still today creating jewelry inspires me, and I feel so lucky to have found what makes my creative spirit soar.

What was your "Aha" moment?

  1. My Aha moment was a trip to the craft store...not quite sure what I was going to pick up. I ended up with some beads, beading wire, clasps and a crimping tool. Then I was hooked!!! ~Val

  2. After years of making ordinary beaded jewelry I made a lanyard for my work pass out of resistors and wore it to work. Eveyone commented "you should sell those!" one lady asked for matching earrings and the rest just happened...
