Welcome to Bills Friends!! Bill's Friends recovery gifts began operations fourteen years ago in St. Paul, MN and for the last nine years has been based out of my home in the visually and spiritually rich Santa Fe, NM.  I am humbled and honored to tap in to sources of power far greater than myself to make recovery jewelry and recovery gifts that people may find inspirational and may touch their heart in a special way as making them has done for me.  While the interpretation of the meaning of the recovery jewelry pieces of work is always an individual process, I am pleased to say that all of my work is bound together by the common threads of experience, strength, hope, love, and the blessings of hard-won life's lessons.

Bill's Friends, is the cumulative result of years of living my life and creating jewelry and art according to the guiding principals of passion, love and faith. I love what I do for it gives me an avenue to express love for the gift of life and the ability to fully feel its joys and anguishes with a clear heart and mind.  A faith that trusting in my individual higher power and seeking always to do God's will inevitably yield a quality of life far greater than anything I am capable of on my own. Being an artist in mind and spirit, it gives me an outlet for my passion for art and the creative process as a whole.

I began my creative journey when I was very young and I have found inspiration and solace in viewing and making art ever since.  The lessons I have learned from my own personal struggles through the years, when joined with God's gift of creativity have combined to spawn a unique product mix I am grateful to share with you.

I am very excited about the recent changes to Billsfriends.com.  I encourage everyone to think of this gathering place not only as a commerce site, but also as a marketplace of ideas.  I would love to see everyone participate in our recovery related forums (coming soon!!) and create your own vision to share with the rest of the world.  As with any virtual forum, visitors like you provide the value by sharing your unique personal experiences.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to growing in the future with you.

Please visit us again and may you enjoy these outward expressions or our in-ward way of life.

Many Blessings,

Michelle B.
