Her touching story reads as she lives her life, giving and generous of spirit.The quality of her work, coupled with the thoughfulness and love she puts in to every piece, make these bracelets, tiny works of art.Giving one as a gift or receiving one truly fills the soul and makes you smile.I love my bracelt and I love Susan G.

I lost my mother to breast cancer many, many years ago and can sympathize completely. I love what you’re doing in her memory.

Daddy died before that Christmas but it went back to the dialyisis unit and carried a basket of wrapped ornaments to be chosen by the people still in the unit. From medical staff to support staff, from new to long-time patients, everybody got an ornament in memory of our father.

That was a long time ago. Now I spend a big whack of time stringing bead jewellery.
This time it’s my ‘baby’ sister (now we’re taken for twins ! I like that) and, instead of renal failure, it’s cancer.

Boog’s Bracelets, I’ll have to come up with a different name, would be a great gift to those I meet in the chemo- and radiation- therapy sessions. It’s an especially fitting gift because my sister has been the major salesperson of my jewellery. She wears a lot of my stuff and she loves big and bright.

Thanks to Boog’s Bracelets, Susan.
Helen
