4) leave a comment so that they can pass along the recognition!

So lets see 8 things about me........

 

1. I went to my first stamping workshop only because I desperately wanted to get out of the house.  I was fairly certain I did not like stamping at all and didn't really want to go.  Oops!  I was terribly wrong.  I've been stamping since 2007.  I was hooked instantly that first day, and I love helping other people get that same wonderful feeling I did when I first picked up my first stamped card.  I think everyone has a creative side, but some people have not picked it up and dusted it off in awhile.

 

2. I am a mother of 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy.  All but one of my children have made at least one unauthorized mural on at least 1 wall in my home, usually their own room fortunately.  The child who didn't make a wall mural has made several on rolls of paper. My kids love crafts and I can't really scold them too much!  But clutter control is a challenge.

 

3. I have a Black Belt in Karate although I am currently very rusty in my self defense skills. I also love to swing dance and daydreamed about dancing competitively as a teenager.

 

4. I love crafts!  I have been doing stuff (sculpting, photography, sewing, knitting, ribbon embroidery, cross stitch, doll clothes)  since I was a little kid.  I went to school for Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Illustration and Graphic Design.  In college I planned to be a children's book illustrator.

5.  My favorite color is pink in all possible shades, but especially hot pink- ala Mambo Melon. My favorite stamping colors are Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, and Early Espresso. I do miss Taken with Teal though!

6. I adore having painted toenails, and think pedicures are divine!

7. I love blogging!  Everything about the code behind the blogs and optimization of blogs fascinate me. I love to tinker with my own blog trying to make it a little better.

 

8. I have never been to Hawaii, and hope to do so very soon.  I love the ocean.

So, now that you know a lot more about me....here are 8 other fascinating folks to go visit!  thanks so much Belinda, this was fun!!
