  is creating Handmade Jewellery
  I'm Susanne, the designer and "creator" of LolaCreations Jewellery!
  I am in love with making and designing jewellery pieces. I started this in 2009, when I couldn't find the type of jewellery that I liked. Since then it has taken over my whole entire life.
  In January 2013, I had one of my jewellery items published in BeadStyle Magazine! It made the cover, and I was chosen as the rising star! This was one of the proudest moments of my life!
  I will be creating, and inviting you to get a sneak peek at the new items that I make before I post them for sale in my etsy shop, or on my Facebook page, and even post on Pinterest! I will occasionally even show you how to create similar items.
  Your support will allow me to continue to work from home and be with the "Love of my Life"; Lola, my Boston Terrier who is 9 years old and beyond unfortunately living on borrowed time while she fights a losing battle with cancer. She isn't expected to live past April, however she has always been a fighter; nonetheless she needs to be let out frequently now, and her anxiety and stress increase immensely when, and if I have to leave the house, so that is why I need to be home.
  When I found out about Patreon, I thought perhaps this might help me do what I love while being with whom I love and lessen my worries about making ends meet.

  You will also receive a special surprise with any Etsy orders.

  For $500, I will hire someone to handle the social media, webpage, and marketing avenues of my jewellery business. I had a fantastic intern for the summer, and he did a phenomenal job, but I could not afford to hire him on, and he needed to be making a living for his amazing talents...SO, I'm left to do it on my own again. I don't do those pieces of the job so well, or have time to be honest. Here's to hiring an employee!!! (I hope.) :-/
