My first Blog Party- A little bit about me!

I am participating in my first Blog Party :-) My name is Melissa and I am the owner and designer of MJennings Designs, LLC. I make personalized name bracelets and beaded jewelry custom designed for you!

I am married to my best friend, Tim. We met in college and started dating a couple year's after we both graduated. This year we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary! We live in Northern Kentucky because of my husband's job but we love it here! I am from Berea, KY and my husband is from Rogersville, TN. We are HUGE Tennessee VOLS fans! (well I guess I am by marriage ;-)

We have a precious three year old son, Peyton who is the light of our lives! He is "all boy" and is playing soccer (I am officially a soccer mom)! It is the cutest thing I have ever watched :-) He was born in Guatemala and I stay at home with him.



I started beading when I was waiting on him to come home (thanks to my mom). When he came home I left my teaching career and I turned the hobby I love into a business and that is how MJennings Designs was born!

I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my son and have my own beading business!

This is my first blog party! I am excited to meet some new blog friends :-) Thanks for stopping by!
