About Flutterbuy Design

My name is Krista, I began Flutterbuy Design in June of 2007.I had been making jewelry for myself, friends and family for about five years prior to starting my business. It started as a hobby, just something to do to relax and to create something unique for myself and others. As time went on I saw that I started to receive positive feedback on my work. It was at this time I began to get more and more requests for my pieces. As time went on both my need and interest to start the company began to grow. I began looking for more unique materials, and allowing my graphic design background assist in the jewelry designs.
My hobby turned into a business and then into a necessity, when I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2006. I was confined to a bed for a while and forced to give up working full time. Though I was able to work from home part-time, I needed something to keep me busy and that could also provide an income for my son and myself. Understand, with Lupus, you have your good days and bad days. On good days with lupus you may still have pain and fatigue, and on bad days all you want to do is be able to get out of bed. I had decided with the help of family and online support groups that I needed to find something else to focus on during this time. So Flutterbuy Design was born! On bad days I was able to go online to design a website and order supplies, sometimes I could even sketch out designs. On good days I was able to make the jewelry i had designed, take photos, and eventually fill orders. Now with my lupus a little more under control I’m able to design and make more jewelry then ever. I have been able to expanded my selection to awareness and wedding jewelry, along with custom pieces. Recently I have expanded to notecards, holiday cards, and custom invites.

Now I would like to share my designs with you. I think you’ll enjoy the variety you’ll find at flutterbuydesign.net. I would also love to hear any suggestions or requests
you have!
