About 2 Bead or not 2 Bead
The owner, Alyssa Gorevich of Albany, NY, would like to share her wonderful story with you:
At the age of 16, a friend introduced me to beading and I was immediately hooked! I am unsure whether my attraction is jewelry-making or "beadaholic syndrome" but I suspect the latter. In either case, this fascination brought me to the web. I am glad to share this passion and to be a part of this great revolution.
Although I was born missing all four limbs from my knees and elbows, I have never allowed it to slow me down. As an infant, I walked and later ran on artificial legs when doctors said it was impossible. As I grew older, the artificial limbs proved too cumbersome, and, oddly enough, too limiting. People now call me "Zip", because I can nearly outrun anyone with my speedy electric wheelchair. Many of you who are already my customers know that my disability does not limit your customer service. My reputation for speed has carried over into 2 Bead or not 2 Bead. We take great pride in offering you the very fastest order processing available.
 Throughout my life, my strong will to succeed has been well noticed by the national media. Stories were written about me in such distinguished publications such as "The New York Times" and "Daily News". I was featured on a prime-time National television show made for CBS called "Alyssa's World". Since then I have won numerous awards through volunteer work and community service. Now, I share my cumulative experiences and creative ability with the beading community. Recently 2 Bead or not 2 Bead has been featured in the local Schenectady Gazette and the Albany Times Union along with various national internet media outlets.
2 Bead or not 2 Bead started humbly in a small Washington DC apartment with one product on a then relatively obscure auction website, Ebay. Today www.2beadornot2bead.com boasts thousands of products and is well on its way to fulfilling its mission of carrying only the highest quality, most popular beads, findings and supplies at the lowest prices in the USA for jewelry designers and hobby enthusiasts alike.
I have received national recognition because I overcame a disability through persistence and a strong desire to succeed, and 2 Bead or not 2 Bead has earned local and world-wide respect as a serious contender in the bead market.
Through life struggles I have learned what it takes to succeed, and more importantly, what it takes to make you, my customer and friend, pleased. Please take the time to write us or call if you have a question or concern. Perhaps you need an item shipped more quickly. Perhaps you have a need for an item that I do not have on my website. Whatever may be the case, I am here to help!
Sincerely,
Alyssa
Alyssa and her husband John live in Albany, NY with their beautiful daughter Julia and their two beloved cats Lancelot and Rudy.
