Happy New Year, As for 2026 ima keep doing what I’m doing but I want to give a big thank you to everyone who’s supported me through this. I do want to tell a story what happened to me on how I decided to start all of this, and who knows maybe it will help someone else out.
As I’ve been asked multiple times “what made you get into making jewelry” or “why did you choose this hobby out of everything” usually I just say “I love making people feel good about themselves and get them dressed up” or “It’s something I love to do” but that’s not the whole truth on why I started this. As I grow with the terms I think it’s time to say the whole truth. Last year August 2024, I was going back to school from being online back in December 2024 my freshman year. The first couple weeks in August was going good. It was our first year not being co-op with a different school from volleyball, it was going good. I had a lot of friends and was having fun. Then one day I was sitting alone in class, having my head down, not being able to focus. Nobody was talking to me. I kept trying to fix and fix and apologize. I would ask my friends what did I do wrong? Did I do something? I never got an answer. Then rumors started going around, I was getting called names, things, laughed at. One day mom knew there was something wrong with me she then asked me “what is going on Anna” I broke down in tears crying to her. My mom was very upset with it all and she was taking it very personal. I started to skip out on lunch, I would go in my car during lunch and sit in my car. My mom found out I was doing that and she decided to pick me up from school some days and go with her to drive around and eat. I would get sick when I stepped out of my house, right as I got into the school I would be instantly sick. My mom then talked to one of the girls at my volleyball game when this was going on. She basically told my mom I’m a liar and other things. The next day in school we had a T-4 thing. I was in their group but mom called the school and asked to put me with some other people. I then was in a different group of classmates. I didn’t wanna go to school the next day, that whole group was just staring at me. This went on for months. Name calling, saying things behind my back but right behind me so I could hear, and the rumors. On September 27th 2024. My Grandma Reis had a stroke. She was the last one I had on the Reis side. I went to school September 27th 2024, that day was a hard day, I was texting mom all day about what people were saying about me. I then had practice and came home. I was sitting in my car for awhile and mom came out through the basement door waving for me to come in. She grabs me and tells me “grandma had a stroke today” that was not the news I was ever expecting. On September 29th 2024 I visited my grandma in the hospital with my older sister, I was going to hang out with a friend but mom told me my other sister and her fiancé was in the hospital with grandma. I called my sister up and asked if she could come pick me up and if we could go down there. As i walked in that hospital and seen her there a heavy weight just came on me and told me this is real. I couldn’t go by my grandma until we left, I grabbed her hand and couldn’t hold back my tears. She held my hand in a way that I will never forget. On October 2nd 2024 it was one of my better days in school that I had all year. We had practice somewhere else and not at our usual place. I then went to the store after practice picked up a treat for mom and dad and some stuff I needed. I got home went upstairs, mom came and grabbed me and told me “Grandma passed away” thats when everything went downhill, I had a game in bowman the next day on October 3rd I got a text from one of the girls saying stuff behind my back about it. I then realized she was telling people she apologized to me and mixing the story once again. The middle of October I was getting really sick again. Stomach aches 24/7, couldn’t eat, just wanted to sleep all day. I skipped a lot of school. Mom then decided to take me to a doctor for anxiety and she put me on some medication then one day mom took me to another doctor. The first thing the doctor asked me was “what is going on in school” and I broke down. She then put me on some more anxiety\anti-depressants. Once mom and I got in the car I told her I do not want to step in that school again. Mom said we will talk about it. That night mom, dad and I had a talk and we decided we will talk about it in the morning. My parents were finally okay with me going online. I then went online for school. I was then going to counseling, I then finally said enough is enough, my grandma would not want this for me. I was looking for hobbies. I was aways into dressing up, putting jewelry on and having to feel like I can feel good again. I then decided I will start doing jewelry. I first started with seed bead necklaces, once I got enough money I finally got Navajo in. And I’m still working on this and feeling good about myself. So yes I do tell part the truth, that this does make me happy and is something I always wanted to do. But there’s always a backstory to why people started for what they did. So be kind no matter what, people go through things all the time.
So as for 2026 this business will be dedicated towards my Grandma Susanna Reis who passed away back in October 2nd 2024 as Everytime someone shows me love and support it will always remind me of how im doing this all for her.
Thank you all once again for your love and your support you are all making a girls dream come true.
