[themes:]

Hiyas, I'm Dawn and I live in Fargo, ND. I make a lot of jewelry and atc's on craftster. My birthday is January 14th and I'll be 41 this year. I came out of a horrible marriage a couple of years ago. Since then I've been trying to get back to the place i was before the marriage.  I'm rebuilding my bead collection and learning lots of new jewelry making techniques. I'm really into multimedia charms right now. I am also a visual artist. I am locally in the FVMA and participate in all the local shows and events. Craftster is like school for me. I use the techniques i learn and practice here and find ways to bring them into my more serious artwork. Craftster rules! . My website is www.dawnturtle.com Anyways here's my list. happy birthday me!
