Going In Circles

Jonette Jamison

Hello there, my name is Jonette. I am Muslim, a native New Yorker and mother to four adult children. I developed an interest in crafting as an adult unexpectedly while shopping in a variety store. For some reason I was awed by the brilliant colors of the beauty and houseware products and visualized how I could use them for craft projects. A few months later, I saw a magazine ad about the Badge-A-Minit button machine. It mentioned that buttons could be used in various ways and I knew it would be ideal for my craft projects. However, after buying it I discovered how much my children enjoyed making buttons. I began to offer my button making service for children's birthday parties, at street fairs and other festive events. Although I'm employed as a civil servant, I will always indulge in my button making hobby.
