My name is Tracey, and I run a couple of stores, my jewelry store, Tracey's Treasures: traceystreasures.etsy.com

and my supply store, for jewelry, scrapbooking and cardmaking, Gotta Craft: gottacraft.etsy.com

I'm a nurse and circuit board repair technician by trade, but am unable to work now due to a variety of back, bone and nerve problems. So my stores are very important to me, as they're my independence :)

I love creating. I've been a creator for as long as I can remember. I've always been a story teller, even before I could write. I have had several writings published, from short stories, fiction and non-fiction, poetry and I have several articles all over the internet, in several different ezines. Although I do several different crafts, being a jewelry artisan is my passion. I put a lot of love and energy into amazing pieces- with my jewelry, you will not have to pay a fortune for great quality, attractive, unique pieces. I try to keep my prices fair. I also enjoy cardmaking and offer unique, handmade greeting cards in my stores, as well.

I'm in my 40's, and have two grown children. My son, Eddie, is 25 and has given me my first grandchild, Mikayla, who is now 4 yrs old! My daughter, Star, is 23, and has given me my second granddaughter, Gracie- 2 yo, and my first grandson, Cole, 9mths. I've been married to the same man for 26 yrs. My family is my world and I love them dearly. You can mess with me- but you sure best not mess with my family, or Momma Bear quickly comes out. ;)

I love quiet times, good friends, people with kind hearts and good souls. I'm a christian and believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. My inspiration comes from nature- God is the greatest artisan, ever!

I look forward to getting to know others. Please feel free to drop me a line :)
