Since jewelry was my first crafty love, I keep returning to it throughout the years, constantly searching for new treasures to turn into fabulous baubles & doo-dads for the masses.  Everything Works If You Let It is my little wayward child & a one-gal show.  I do all of it, from searching high and low for the funkiest beads and charms, to hand-making every bauble & doo-dad, to marketing & shipping out the goodies.  I am someone who is "hard" on the jewelry that I wear (pulling it during the day, twisting it around in my fingers--you know the drill).  Because of this, I make sure that every piece stands up to everyday wear, even for the delicate customers.  I assume that everyone wearing my creations is going to be as hard on them as I am, so I make sure they're tough little cookies before they head out the door.  I'm also a nerd about getting things shipped out quickly.  I hate waiting for things I buy to show up in the mail, and I want customers who are happy as clams.

I originally hail from Chicagoland, but I make my current home near the Sandia Mountains of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I share my humble abode with my adoring husband, Gary, and our wild and crazy pooch, Lulu.  They have learned to live with the glitter in the sink & the beads in the couch cushions.  We are also happily awaiting the first non-fur child addition to our family, coming in the summer of '08.
