Oh, hi! I'm Kristen and I am excited to make your next friendship bracelet. I fell into beading after realizing I was watching too much news and doom scrolling for hours with nothing to show for it. I wanted to put all of that negative energy behind me and instead create something that gives joy. My family and I were lucky enough to attend the Eras Tour in New Orleans (N3), and when I asked my kids what their favorite part was, they said, "trading bracelets!" It is something simple, creative, and fun--best of all, it brings instant joy. That's the kind of positive energy I want to put out into the world. So now, I spend my free time beading whatever people come up with and it's been a blast. Please enjoy my site and reach out to me with whatever ideas you have. With lots of joy,  Kristen Brennan
