My First Bio

So, I'm fortunate in that I've been invited to be a featured artist at Topeka's First Friday Art Walk in August!  However, I've also been asked to write a bio...  Which, I'm finding very difficult!  I wasn't sure how short or long to make it, whether to write it in first or third person, and I must have written 10 drafts by now that I've thrown out!  I asked my husband for some guidance, as he's written a few before, so that was helpful:)  Then, today, we went out and took some photos to submit with the bio, too.  I love to TAKE photos, but I always find being in them a rather difficult task.  Needless to say, we did take a few that turned out pretty good.  I've posted my bio and some pics below (I think I'm going with the first one).  I appreciate any helpful feedback!!

Bio:
I'm an Arkansas-born, Louisiana-raised crafter who has now found a home in Kansas City.  I love finding and re-purposing old buttons, ties, and anything I can find at a fun little antique or thrift store.  I also work with fabrics, African inspirations, and anything that challenges me to make something new!  I have a huge heart for Africa, and Impact Jewelry was created in part to help me give back to African communities.  All African beads I use are purchased through fair trade organizations, and 25% of all Impact proceeds are donated to charity.  This year, proceeds are being donated to All God's Children to assist in the building of a medical clinic in Zambia.  I firmly believe we all make an impact, no matter how big or small.
