My Divine Mission

​Hello and welcome to Divine Designs Jewelry.
My name is Elizabeth Klabuhn.
I am the owner (with the help of my amazing husband), designer, and handcrafter
of the Divine Designs Jewelry line.
I would like to begin by telling you a little about how Divine Designs started.
I started making jewelry as a "hobby" about 6-7 years ago. I am not really sure how long ago.
The reason I am not sure is because in August 2011,
I suffered significant brain damage due to Wernicke-Korsakoff encephylopothy and
then two massive bilateral strokes due to complications following a gastric bypass surgery.
I now have significant mental and physical disabilities.
Before the strokes, I had a photographic memory from age 2.
Now I can not remember by dinner what I had for breakfast.
When my brain stores memories, I can't remember whether it happened 10 hours or 10 years ago.
As for my physical limitations, I now have to use loop crutches to walk properly and not fall.
I don't feel my legs correctly either.
The nerves aren't damaged it is the nerve receptors, that is why I can even walk at all.
Now back to the Divine Designs Jewelry line.
I finally retained the knowledge and ability to make my jewelry again about a year ago.
I know that God gave me that knowledge and ability back
  so that I can feel like a "productive" member of our society again.
You see I had worked since the age of 14 until the strokes. I loved and enjoyed working.
Now by the grace of God, I shall continue to design and handcraft my jewelry. 
My hope is that you all will enjoy and cherish my jewelry.
I will also carry handcrafted products made by others who share the vision of Divine Designs.
Thank You All
and
May God Bless And Keep You All.
