Welcome Everyone

My name is Monica Rodriguez. I am a mother of four great kids ages 26, 18, 17, and 11.  I also have 2 beautiful grand babies. For many years I worked in management.  I started years ago managing realty offices, next movie theatres, resturants and retail stores.   I moved on the business ownership with a beauty shop, clothing store and video store. When I sold the businesses I married and stayed home for a few years to raise my family. Loving lots of kids in the house we started taking in foster kids.  For a few years we took care of newborns who were drug addicted.  Wanting to do more with my life our family packed up everything and moved to Panama, Central America to work at a medical mission.  It was there that I found my love for the medical field which leads me back to where I am now.  I am in my second year at Crafton preparing to transfer to SBVC next year for nursing.  I really enjoy school but wish I would have got it right the first time many years ago.

I love crafting and am happy to say that I finally found a way to incorporate this love into a money making venture.  I now own a little home business named "Reel Girls".  As you can see from the posted pictures I make badge reels for people who wear name badges for work.  I also have a line of necklaces made of bottlecaps which are really cute because the designs are on magnetic buttons which can be interchanged with the touch of a button. lol

Hope you enjoy my blog, and don't forget me when you need that special one of a kind gift!
