ABOUT THE AUTHOR

1. Who are you? My name is Amy. I am a 36-year-old crafty gal who has lived all over the country (a lot in the Northwest) and finally ended up in Atlanta. I was born from creative genes, so I’m carrying on the tradition. I have been knitting for 18 years, sewing for longer and decoupaging for just a few. I do all of these things on a daily basis, or at least as much as I can. In addition to Mod Podge, I love the color blue, dogs, reading, cold weather, funny movies, road rallies, yogurt, garden gnomes, sock monkeys, running, tattoos, being outdoors, buttons, snuggling and apparently blogging. Who knew I would love it this much?
2. Is there anything else I should know about you? I try to wear stripes and/or bright colors on a daily basis. It’s my schtick and it makes me happy. It’s the little things, people.
3. What makes you the authority on Mod Podge? My favorite thing about this blog is that I get to bring lots of ideas and inspiration together in one place – making everyone who is featured here an authority! I started this blog because when I was trying to find decoupage inspiration, I had to go to a lot of different places to get it. I thought, “what if it could all just be in one place?” I don’t just complain people – I make it happen!
4. What is your day job? I’m a freelancer. That means that I am my own boss and I work all the time. But I love it.
5. Will you offer me advice on my project/creative idea/love life? Yes, I’ll do my best. That I can promise you.
6. Do you accept submissions? Heck yes! Don’t be scared. Send ‘em my way. E-mail me here.
7. I’m having a Mod Podge craft issue. Can you help me? Yes. Click here.
