Hi my name is Karren I am mom to 4 kids, 2 boys, 2 girls, a grandma to 4 adorable grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter. Unfortunately I lossed my oldest son last December, he is dearly missed from our family and leaves behind a teenage son, Jimmy, I am a sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am a Member of our local Chamber of Commerce. And a partner with my husband in manufacturing an organic agricultural product for 13 years, our product MicroSoil is an Organic Agriculture product is sold worldwide and ahead of it’s time. I have developed websites, created all of our marketing materials and writen instruction manuals for our businesses and products, learning html, and constantly on a learning curve when it comes to the internet and computers and I'm not afraid to experiment with new tools to use on websites and blogs and in my network.

I owned and operated a Beauty Business for 15 years, which employed up to 17 women, also maintaining a full clientele and running my Nail School for 15+ years as well.

un Stuff About Me Outside my work, I have a lot of company stay with us, I like to entertain family, cooking, baking BBQ's, I make some great “BBQ ribs, camping and of course "shopping". I like to read when I have time, like on a trip when I am away from my beads.

About My Jewelry Business I have been designing jewelry for over 3 years, and I am a member of SRJAD my source of inspiration is the changing colors of seasons, fashion industry and just by laying out the stones and letting them talk to me.

My Passion My passion is helping and promoting my friends, women in business in supporting them to be successful and learning the skills of networking.

My dedication is to support women in all walks of life both as a mom and a professional. I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.

My network Live Love Laugh and Love To Shop has been a great success now supporting nearly 700 members. I am very proud of our members and appreciate their support. This has been a very rewarding experience and a continually learning process. I enjoy the camaraderie and friends I have made. My next desire is to have a non-profit organization to help women who are sometimes in need of small assistance, especially with the economy the way it is. Right now, I have on my network, a group I have named “Helping Hands”, this is just for the reason mentioned above, and until I can have that non-profit organization. I will develop ways to help the women in our organization here.

Thank you for letting me share. Karren
