Hi, welcome to Nancy’s Works of Heart …
   I’m Nancy Graham Jump and I live in central Florida with my darling husband, Mark.
   Creating jewelry begin as a hobby when my sister introduced me to beading in November 2008. Like a train, the passion for creating jewelry started slowly as a hobby in 2008 and has chugged its way to full steam ahead. It’s like all of my creative juices have been bottled up for the last 50 years and are now erupting with a flow that just doesn’t quit.
   I usually make at least one piece a day, some days even more. I’m mostly self-taught through reading books and websites, and I’ve taken classes at our local bead store, Yia Yia’s.
    My sister, husband and my friends at work have consistently encouraged me to broaden my horizons and really turn this passion into a business. What a scary thought at first! Me? Start a business? Well, yeah, I can do that!
   So with the help of my very talented husband, who builds and maintains websites as a side business, my friend, Rachel Pleasant Chambliss, who writes with a flair for fashion, and my good friend, Steve Antley, designer extraordinaire, we've built a website for the world to see.
   In addition I plan on showing in some of the local arts and crafts festivals this fall. Who knows where it can go from here?
   I hope you'll take time to look at my pieces on the site and if you have any questions or suggestions please email me at nancysworksofheart@gmail.com.
   Thank you for visiting the site, keep checking back as I add more pieces each week.
