am one of three sisters who love being together, but  
   live far apart. About a year ago, my sisters and I were
   scheming about how fun it would be to own a shop of
   our own, where we would sell only things that we loved.

   Unable to overcome the logistical problems, we decided 
   to start small and rent a booth at a holiday faire.

   I began making Christmas ornaments which I had seen
   in a magazine article, and then, with soldering iron in
   hand, started tinkering with different sizes and styles of
   charms. In the process of it all, I found something I truly
   enjoyed doing.

   So began Bonbon Charms. Hope you enjoy wearing
   them as much as I enjoy creating them!

I DID IT!
I ran a half marathon with some friends on January 14, 2007 at the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon.
I've been running for a few years and had a desire to run a longer race by the time I was 40. My 40th birthday was the day we launched this website in February 2006. It's been a great year running my own business. Now, I've been able to check off another big accomplishment.
Lisa, Debbie and I at the starting line
I started running with the "couch to 5k plan" and ran my first 5k in February of 2005. My friend/running partner and I have been running together 2-3 times a week. Then I ran a 10k race in July of 2006.   This past fall we found a training plan for a 1/2 Marathon and decided to go for it!  We trained during the holidays and the cold winter of the Northwest.
     It was worth it. I finished in 2 hours and 11 minutes. It was a great experience. If I can do it...You can do it too!
