I Want to Appologise

Yay! My laptop is fixed! Thank you so much, sweetie. <3

To warn everyone now, if I seem to be a bit cranky, emotional, and many other things I want to appologise. For awhile now I've been battling depression, and for awhile I mean by for the past few years. There was a time, which was my senior year, that I was fine, happy, and always in a optomistic mood. I guess it came back while I was away during my summer at Mackinaw, got a little worse after I was put on birth control (worst mistake I've ever made, I had the shot of all things), then in the past few months due to recent events its been getting to where I've rarely find happiness in things anymore. The only time where I even feel at peace is during meditation, making art, and being in the arms of Ani. Work is merely a distraction, cause we end up so busy I can't think.

Now, I don't wanna seem mean. I'm not much of a fan of Twilight, but I will admit I've seem a lot of nice Twilight-style jewelry. Whats bugging me the most though is Bella's Bracelet...seriously how many times are you going to make the same bracelet? It's cool to see how to make the wolf charm, but after while it's getting quite annoying seeing the same bracelet over and over again. Why not skim through the book and see if there are other character jewelry to make? Or even better, create a piece of jewelry for your favorite character.

As once again, I have stuff to day before work.

My name is Jackilyn Danielle Burkeen, but you may call me Jackie or Peace if you want.

I've been dabbling into art since I was a child. I mostly work with drawing, jewerly, photography, and writing.

Jewelry-wise I've been making and experimenting since 2004-2005. It all started when my aunt gave me moonstone and ruby beads and I've been hooked ever since. Today I feel I have so much beads I can make a mountain out of them and still have some left over. I love working with many mediums including hemp, wire work, gemstones, and many others.

I'm currently in the process of making a book on photography along with writing my own fiction fantasy-based story.

In real life wise, I currently work at McDonalds, in love with the man of my dreams, have a wonderful and supportive family, and well rounded friends who are fun to hang with when we're all not busy. I also love to garden, sew, cook, and experiment with make up designs.
