Hey there, all you friendly, creative, talented bracelet & craft lovers!
I'm somewhat of an anomaly in this milieu, in that I'm 51 years old (yikes!!🤯😂) ...which makes me at least 35 years older than the average age on this site.😜
Please don't let that freak you out (lol😂); at heart, I'm just like you younger folks on here, I share some of the same interests (especially designing & making bracelets along with many other creative & artistic endeavors), and most importantly, I can absolutely relate to many of you. Remember, I was a teenager too! And then a college student, a grad school student, & so on. I've just been around for a while longer since then. 😉😂
I learned to make basic friendship bracelets (candy stripes) at about age 13 from a friend, & then figured out how to do chevrons & diamonds through trial & error.
My recently renewed interest in making bracelets was inspired by my wonderful niece, who has now joined this site as well. Her username is @Tealmango7 and she's super cool & friendly so check out her profile! 😊❤️
I originally discovered & joined BB to find cool bracelet patterns to make for my niece (mission accomplished), but recently I helped her learn how to read patterns, convinced her to get on this great site, and within just a few months she's done all of the above and even started designing patterns of her own! (Can you tell I'm a VERY proud aunt??) Lol 😂❤️
So anyway, I'm guessing I've already exceeded the character limit here if there is one (and if there isn't, admin will probably now implement one because of me 😂)...and I'm CERTAIN I've already exceeded the attention span of 99.9% of people who started reading this. Hahaha! Yep, that's me. 🙈😂😂 Take care, all. 😎❤️✌

* P.S. -- Many, many thanks to everyone who's made bracelets from my patterns & posted photos!! I'm sorry if I'm unable to acknowledge & thank each of you individually in the comments below the pattern; I would like to do so, but with 1,000+ patterns & not a lot of spare time each day, I have a hard time keeping up. But please know that I do see every photo you post, & I appreciate the time & care you've put into making your bracelets immensely!! Thank you so much & please keep up your great work; I'm truly amazed at how skilled & talented you all are!! 💜 ❤️ ✌
