Ice Cream, you scream, we all scream...
There is one and only one person in this world that shares my love or possible obsession for ice cream...that would be my mom. Although, mom really had no choice. She began her start with Friendly Ice Cream, travelling, training and opening their new stores back in the day and breakfast consisted of a bowl of ice cream...a scoop of all her favorites.

We will find that chocolate banana ice cream one day again! Ice Cream Keychain.

Green with Emily
I came across a package of multi-green beads a while back and immediately had to have them for Emily. Emily is delicate yet in-your-face, allergic to cheap metals, a list-maker like me, a designer, a shoe-whore, pasty white (almost ghost like), one of my dearest friends, and a lover of the color green. So, when I found this little package of beads, I had to have them for Emmers and anything that is made from them will be called Emily.

Jenny's Jewel
Sparkles, pink and crystals...the three ingredients to making jewelry for Miss Jenny Haas. To explain Jenn would be an incredible undertaking. One must experience her infamous demonstration of crow position, her obsession with the latest from TMZ and Perez and her single-handed mission to educate the world on cookie cups. She is an experience...a personality not to be missed, and therefore forefront in my mind as I was creating the Jenny's Jewel Chunky Necklace...sparkles, pink and lots of crystals.

The Multifaceted Julie
Artist, high school art teacher, ADL youth educator...Julie is probably the most intellectual and colorful person I have ever met. To describe Julie as vocal and opinionated would be an understatement. Her voice and laughter is heard and loved by her students, friends and family. She is constantly teaching...careful, you might learn something in her presence. While working on the multicolor pieces in the Karalee Designs line, I had Julie and her kooky, quirky personality in my thoughts and decided these bead designs must be called Julie.
