1 what do you make and sell? I make hand block printed cards and calendars and magnets inspired by my original block print designs.... and very soon I'll be adding journals!

2 at what age did you become a "crafter"? I think I was born a crafter. One of my early crafter memories is from kindergarten when the teacher kept trying to make me use the left-handed scissors (because I'm a lefty, of course). I had to persuade her to give me the right-handed ones, not because I didn't want to be different, but because I was already used to cutting with my right hand and couldn't switch.

3 what has the diy world thought you? Hmmm, all my diy friends and acquaintances are very excited that I've decided to turn my craftiness into a business. They think I'm brave, and maybe a little crazy, I'm afraid. As for the rest of the diy world, I'm looking forward to finding out what they think!

4 Whats is the best part about having a online shop? Getting to share my work with people from everywhere! It's so much fun and very motivational when someone new discovers me and sends positive feedback my way!

5 if you made a $1000 in sales in one week what would you do with that money? OOOhhh there are so many crafty things I want to try....I'd be very tempted to go to the art store and spend it all! (However, knowing me, I'd rethink it on the drive to the art store, only buy myself a little something new to play with, go out to lunch with a friend, and save the rest.)
