Here's a little about the lovely Judy!
I moved to Kokomo, Indiana when I sold my Gift Basket and Chocolates store in California, in 2005. I thought I was retiring, but just can't sit by and do nothing. When I was teaching cardmaking, I had trouble finding affordable and unusual embellishments to go on my cards. I soon figured if I was having trouble finding these things, a lot of other people were as well. That's when this embellishment business began... and it has grown so fast in just a few months. I am blessed to have my mom living with me; she helps me so much with this business!

My goal is to find quality embellishments that are reasonably priced. I am constantly looking for the unusual embellishment... something that you won't find your local craft stores. At
PIZZAZZ APLENTY you'll find simple packaging, quality merchandise, affordable prices.

Remember... there's no such thing, as too much bling!


Pizzazz Aplenty will be awarding one very lucky winner...
