More than that, I'm eternally grateful for love notes from my customers:

I absolutely can not even begin to tell you how much I love the earrings that you made for me and sent with my bracelet. They are perfect and fit my personality exact! Ian and I tell everyone about you and your story. You are an amazing person with incredible talent and you really are a hero. I admire you for your strength to not allow an unfortunate event to hold you back from what you want. I wear all of the jewelry you have made me ALL of the time!!!! I can't wait to buy another one of your beautiful pieces. - Patty

My jewelry has a story--your story of survival and it will remain precious to me. Thank you for sharing that story with me. You inspire me in a way that few people do, especially as a woman. It's rare that we see the "wounded warrior" as a female--one that has been tough enough to be a US Army MP, but creative enough to be a successful jewelry designer. Today you inspired me to complain less about frustrations and be thankful for the blessings in my life. - Stephanie

I want you to know how much I love, love, love the beautiful necklace you created. It is my favorite piece of jewelry, and I have already gotten many compliments on it! I tell everyone who comments on it all about you, what a survivor you are, how hard you have worked, and what a success you have become! It is very special to me. - Anne

My sister called yesterday and said the earrings were truly works of art. She was so pleased. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful items for me to give to my oh-so-picky artist sister! - Paula

Tara! Thank you so much for my beautifully made custom pieces! I wore them to a dinner party last night and received many lovely compliments. I felt beautiful, more so because the person who personally made them for me is beautiful in and out - with an amazing talent. You are the best! - Rosie

Thank you so very much for your personal touch. I treasure my ring. It fits as though it were always meant to be on my finger. - Susan
