Why Do I Electroform
Posted by Diane Neldon on
Why did I become an electroformer and how did it change my life? Sounds profound but it’s not. Well, it was for me. I once asked what was a blog, Why? “To tell a story”. Who would want to read my story? I now have a business, The Wacky Wanderers and I have been told, “start a blog”. “Tell a story”. “Why you do this”.
