This is the story of Gloria - a wife, mother and grandmother.  Gloria has big dreams of starting her own profitable business.  A lifelong crafter, she has been involved in a wide range of disciplines and spent a small fortune along the way.  It has made her happy, but she is determined to put her skills, knowledge and stash to good use.  The new year brings thoughts of dreams and goals to be fulfilled. A chance conversation with her work colleague sees Gloria starting on a road to change her world and she decides to keep a diary of her progress.  

Read Gloria's story and learn how she starts her jewellery business and turns it into a profitable venture.  Along the way, you will see how Gloria
