I created "Color Me Diamonds" to offer unique, handmade diamond art items that bring smiles as bright as my creations shine. When my brothers passed away from addiction overdose leaving me broken hearted and my children "flew the coop" and left me as an empty nester, I used diamond art as a form of therapy that brought me comfort and helped me to pass the time I used to spend taking care of my children. My friends and family encouraged me to open a shop on Etsy to reach a wider audience than just the local area that I am accustomed to serving with my creations. I appreciate each and every order, encouraging compliment and visit to the store. Know that each item in my store has been made with love and commitment to quality for you to enjoy for many years. My hope is that they can become special keepsakes that can be handed down for generations to come, bringing smiles all the way. Please know that if you live locally, you do not need to place an order with my Etsy store. I am a vendor at a number of craft shows throughout the year which you can attend, or you can simply comment on a photo of the creation you like when I post here. I accept payment with Venmo, PayPal, credit card or cash in person. Thanks for visiting!
