Good Morning and Its lovely to meet you all

[phoenixdreams]

Hello, Good morning to you all.

I would just like to introduce myself.

My name is Marie and with the help of The Princes Trust have just set up my business creating and selling my handcrafted Jewellery.

I've been reading sites like this for many years, and now I feel like I may be able to contribute alot more so I thought I would come and say hello and get involved

Im hoping to meet like minded people and help those that need advice in my field of jewellery making. Also get some advice for myself as I'm still learning from you all aswell

Thankyou for reading this and please feel free to message me if you ever need anything.

Take care all.

Thanks for the info, I'm 27 so I fit into the age group but I am employed so not sure whether they'll give me any help or not, got to be worth a try though!
