<strong>Please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! </strong>

I am the &#34;other half&#34;  in my wife&#39;s bead jewelry business— <strong>CorseCrafts </strong>(corsecrafts.com). You might catch me at craft shows schlepping tubs and tables and helping set up (boy am I glad we can fit it all in just the back half of the car). Occasionally I&#39;ll stand behind the table with her trying to keep out of her way and not embarrass us.

What I really do &#34;behind the curtain&#34; is quite honestly a mystery, even to me. But seriously, I help market her business, design, maintain the website and blog, photograph all the new jewelry she makes and try to keep it all in order so we can find any single item when called upon.

By trade, I am a graphic designer, web designer (I <strong>hates</strong> code), photographer and photo retoucher and I exercise these skills to the fullest extent of my ability to help <strong>CorseCrafts</strong> look like a jewel (pardon my pun but I couldn&#39;t resist).

I know this bio is suppose to be about me but the business is really about Marie Antoinette. I want to give you just a little background on her because she is really friendly and has a certain charm that you won&#39;t see in just anyone.

She&#39;s French, no (wait, I&#39;ll get my head handed to me if I say that), she&#39;s Corsican. She comes from the tiny island of Corsica which is located just south of France in the &#34;Terranean&#34; sea (I&#39;m told by the locals that area is NOT the Mediterranean). Marie Antoinette has a pretty thick accent (French, shhhhh) even after living in the U.S. since 1985. I still like to tease her with words that start with the letters &#34;th&#34;; because of the accent, she can&#39;t pronounce them—don&#39;t worry, she has a whole vocabulary I can&#39;t pronounce! Anyway, she&#39;s a great person to know and I think you will like her work. 

Please Friend <i>(facebook.com/corsecrafts)</i> her or Follow <i>(twitter.com/corsecrafts)</i> her for the latest happenings.
