How do you thank someone who travels more than a hundred miles to support you??? Words just don't seem to cut it when I think of Janice. She and Linda have been dear friend's for many years and I have had the pleasure of knowing her for more than a few years myself.
Janice has always been a fan of our art work and it must be mentioned that she had the first Three Beading Hearts Trunk Show in Mebane North Carolina in 2006. Not only did we stay at her beautiful home, she fixed some great meals and then invited all of her friends to the show.
Were we nervous- you bet we were! We loved making jewelry but weren't sure anyone else would like it. When Janice made the offer to host a show, we figured if it was a bomb, we didn't live in the state so no one would have to know. The morning of the show, we pulled out our jewelry, rearranged it several hundred times and waited for the door bell to ring. Our pray was that someone would buy something, anything to confirm that we should continue to follow our passion.
Well, it was history in the making and its success and Janice's encouragement has been the catalyst for every show since then. We have learned lots of new techniques (notice the polymer clay necklace Janice has on- Linda is the artist) since the first show and had many successes but none of it is as important as our friendships.
Janice had faith in our ability, encouraged us in every venture and continues to support us. Over the years she has traveled to Virginia to help us and did it again in August. Thank you Janice for being you and always being there. -Jane
