Well - I missed this thread entirely...but clicked on new posts today and it came up - I'm glad you started it!
My name is Janice (otherwise known as J-Lynn) and I am an Artisan jewelry designer (sell online, and wholesale to a variety of upscale boutiques in the mid-atlantic region - hoping to expand...), and also known as the Jackie of all trades (so my friends say)

. Have a degree in Music Ed from many moons ago, and have made a variety of career stops on my way to being self-employed (Administrative, Tax Para, Retail Management, and my last stop was doing the marketing and PR for a well known fabric & craft company - more from a relationship style of marketing

- since I'm people oriented, I like boards where you can share and help each other.
Since late 2001, I have been self-employed (prompted by 9/11), in an effort to enjoy my life more, de-stress, and be home for the family. I started an online business for Home Decor/Baskets and did well with that (but recently decided I couldn't do two things, so shut down that one and subsequently sold the business name/domain), so that I could soley focus on the jewelry end of things.
Look forward to chatting with everyone - it's nice to know a little bit about everyone! Happy 3Ding.
