We ARE Beading Branches. We have had and will have guest beaders in our shop, but Coleen and I are the main designers, and beaders. Our shop was formed when the two of us decided we were beading at a rate that would soon have us buried in bead work if we didn't find a way to sell some of it. We both have some very ambitious ideas and thought this would be the best way to make every one happy.
Coleen is a stay at home mom of 4 busy boys. She has her heart set on starting a non profit organization that will help chronically ill moms manage their day to day lives when they find they are just out of every thing it takes to run a home. Of course their families can help, and then there are friends and church family. But when one is chronically ill it is difficult for them to keep asking friends and family for help. Long term illness has a mind of it's own. Some days are better than others, so Coleen's idea is to have people who call be called on when they are needed, for what ever task might be too much of a stress at the time.
Maxine is a stay at home mom of 6 busy children of her own. Her heart has led her to being baking for our soldiers overseas with the fantastic West Point Moms Bake group. At present she is sending one or two packages out per month, but would like to expand on that. Our soldiers are away from home and family and LOVE to receive packages from "home", no matter who's home it's from. Baked goods are a special treat, and just to know they are being thought of is a great boost.
On our Etsy site you will see many different items and different styles of beading and bead work. It is our pleasure to create gorgeous items for our customers. It is our goal to bless our families and our communities with the profits.
