Name: Annie H.
My favorite dessert is Apple Cobbler at Zio's. The kind with the sauce all over the top...served a la mode. YUMM!!!
I live in Conroe with my Husband (Tommy), his daughter Melanie and our two dogs Buddy (Boxer) and Max (Yellow Lab). I was born in Kansas City, Missouri and moved here when I was 12 years old. I've been a Houstonian ever since. I have 3 brother and 2 sisters and 1 step sister. I have 13 neices and nephews on my family's side and 5 more on Tommy's side. I'm also lucky enough to have all my parents and all my grandparents alive and well. They all live far...and I don't get to see them enough. :(
I don't remember who introduced me to stamping initially...I was a demonstrator for a year back in 1996. However, Delia is the one that got me back into stamping. I met Delia in college in 2002-ish and started going to stamp club with her in in 2007-ish. I am so glad she started showing me all her projects at school and convinced me to go. I LOVE IT!
Why do I like stamping? I love it becuase it allows me to be creative and when I am making a mass amount of the same cards for the holiday, it provides stress relief. It gives me some time to myself. I don't get much of that these days.
I love pinks and blues together with brown. I think its such a great combination.
My favorite occasion to stamp for are those holidays that not everyone stamps for...like Easter and Halloween.
I get alot of my ideas from Laura and Delia. I also follow a lot of stamping blogs lately. There are some really creative ladies out there...in SASSSC and other places. I get ideas from all your cards too.
My favorite technique, style and/or tool? I like using the water color pen...you can watercolor with any color of marker or stamp-pad with this cool tool! I also like using it with glittery water colors.
I heard about SASSSC from Delia as she was still trying to come up with how it would work.
What do I like to do when she isn't stamping? I like to cook and do things outdoors. I like 4 wheeling and fishing. I fish in lakes, streams or in the ocean. I also work for Halliburton as a Supply Chain Analyst. More specifically I work for International Sourcing at Halliburton. Our department works to save the company money by finding overseas vendors (near our clients) that can make the same part for cheaper than those manufacturer's here in the states.
An interesting fact about me...
Another hobby of mine is Lampworking. This is not the art of making lamps. :) This is the art of working with a torch and glass rods. I melt the glass at about 3000+ degrees and mold it around a metal rod. I decorate it with smaller pulled glass also to make designs. After the molten glass cools, I pull it off and have a pretty, glass home-made bead. I love making things with pinks and yellows. I'm working on a black and white bracelet right now...here a gallery showing things I'll be able to make when I get a little better at it. :)
See you soon for SASSSC Easter Style!
