Pam from NewLifeDesigns

My name is Pam & I live in Tyler, Texas. I’m a mother, wife, & a granny. I’ve been making jewelry about 4 years now, & I absolutely love it. I’ve been creative all my life, but I’ve never connected with anything like I have with making jewelry. My inspiration comes from life, culture,& nature. I love everything about it, from going to the bead store, being surrounded by all those gorgeous, shiny beads & finding that perfect bead or stone, to sitting down & creating something that’s a little part of me.

My first craft passion was cross stitch. I did that for many years, for friends & family until a neck surgery and the resulting nerve damage put a stop to it, sadly. It’s hard to hold a needle when your hands go numb.
