My name is Debbie Mabbutt and I make the jewelry for BillyAnn Creative Designs. I live in Edmonds, Washington, and have two daughters and one granddaughter. I began the business in 2005 and decided on the name by combining my father and mother's first names. Both passed away that year and I couldn't think of a better way of honoring them than putting their names on my creations. Jewelry making has become a passion for me. I started by making jewelry for friends, relatives and myself and was soon being commissioned to create one of a kind pieces.

I was encouraged to create a website and sell my jewelry, and with the expert help of my friend Shari, began the website for BillyAnn Creative Designs. I use a variety of components in my pieces. I love the natural beauty of gemstones and the eye-catching colors of crystals and Czech glass. My jewelry may contain lampworked beads, natural gemstones, vintage pieces, sterling silver, pewter, gold filled or other base metals. My main goal is to create unique pieces that will be eye-catching, fun and above all, treasured.
