Welcome to Mod Podge Rocks where creativity meets everyday magic in every Craft.
If you are a brand or public relations agency, email me amy(at)modpodgerocksblog.com.
My name is Amy Anderson and I’m a crafting and Mod Podge (and decoupage) expert. I’m a two time craft book author and product line maker. I have been a creator for over forty years.
I’ve been creative since I was little. I always had to take art classes, and I remember being the youngest person by far at sewing camp when I was 10. I hated sewing camp.
At the time, I didn’t appreciate the gift that my parents were giving me – but these days I am very thankful. No only do I have a lot of crafty skills, but now I’m blogging about crafting as my full-time job. And it’s the best job ever.
I started Mod Podge Rocks in 2008 because I wanted a place that I could share learning to decoupage with the world.
It all began because I love to craft, and I liked the Mod Podge label. Pink and orange is my jam. Plus I’ve worked at a craft supply manufacturer . . . it all just fit.
Some of My Favorite Projects
SOme things to know about me
You can see my professional resume here. By trade, I am a professional marketer with an MBA. Here are 10 things other about me that you should know.
- I seem to work best when things are chaotic and I have a ton to do.
- I live in the Portland, Oregon area. I’ve lived all over the country but west is best for me.
- I’m a published author and I’ve written two books.
- I love crafting, but I also love cars, frozen yogurt, and outdoor activities.
- I have an undergrad degree in Forestry, an MBA in Business and have had 10 jobs since I graduated from college (commitment issues anyone?)
- The color orange is my favorite. Blue is a close second. I love bright colors.
- My favorite movie of all time is Star Wars.
- I constantly battle a sugar and coffee addiction – I love candy and lattes.

- The most appealing thing in the world is a good sense of humor.
