About Me

Hi! I'm Heather

I am the mother of an amazing 5 year old girl. Her name is Abby. She makes the world a better place and gives me a great excuse to wake up every day! Her Favorite Show Right Now is *Doc McStuffins *Jake and the Never Land Pirates (almost anything on Disney JR) She loves to make up stories as she reads books She is a girly girl to the core. She loves to do all kinds of crafts with me, stickers and glitter are her thing. When I do my scrap book pages of her, she says it always needs more glitter.

My Basics: I am 25, work for the state of Alaska and LOVE IT!!! Favorite Color is Orange, but love bright colors or vintage colors I analyze colors...study colors... how do they work together, what do they symbolize, how can I get a WOW factor??? And did the light just hit that the right way?

I have a degree in Digital Art with a focus on photography! I am working on my 2nd degree in Graphic Design but am taking a break till I save some money. I enjoy making art on the computer and bring it to life for everyone to enjoy!

I joined this group after my sister talked to highly of it. White I am taking my break from school I don't want to lose my ability to make the world around me beautiful, and inspire change...to continue to be inspired.

While in my degree I learned to express how I feel about issues that the world around me may not talk about as openly. I dream one day to have my own show opening or get my artwork "out there" to make people start talking, find ways to talk to our kids about sensitive topics.

I love to Geocach in the summer! I broke away from my family when I grew up and moved out so my status are not very good but my daughter and I make up Runt1.1 While I lived at home I was apart of the 7 runts, I am the oldest and I have one child Runt1.1 ;) I LOVE geo-bugs and Coins! If your looking to send a new bug on an adventure Id love to help!

I collect glass bottles! LOVE glass jars of all sizes and shapes! I collect bear figures (cherish Teddy are my favorite)

I love learning about other cultures and the world around me! I find having a respect for others cultures rewarding to try to start understand the world around me. While I respect cultures and religion is apart of cultures I don't like literature that is bashing someones else ideas, cultures, or religions, so please don't send items that would bash (put down, tear down, insult) someone else ideas.

CRAFTS I LOVE:

-I love to scrap book, and am always trying to push myself to knew ideas and projects! I have a lot to learn! -I like mixed media projects in my paintings -I am learning to re-store, up cycle projects! So far its been fun, but Ive not attempted anything real big yet. -Drawing! :) Taking the time to really study light, shadows, and disconnect with the world. -I like to try new things, im willing to try new things!

My photography Hero is Julieanne Kost! http://www.jkost.net/#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=1&p=1 (what I see is my favorite body of her work) She is amazing and I dream of going to WPPI to meet her!

After a month on this sight I have focused working on ATCs... I have not done any flat ones yet because I cant figure how to make them strong enough for what I dream of doing with them. *so I need more ideas if anyone experiences they would share :)

There are a lot of what would you like extras on a lot of profiles and a lot of activities you look for what others would like... and truth be told... I have no idea. I love vintage photographs? pens, pencils, something to keep ideas flowing. Stickers of course for scrap booking... and anything that represents where your from! I a dork but that stuff is so cool!!!!!!!

I am new to this (one month) so if anyone has any ideas or would like to know more about me, let me know. :) thanks!!!

Comment: Thank you for the atcs and the stickers!! I love the look of a canvas for an ATC- very cool!! The burnt bits on the other ATC look really neat- it gives it a very hopelessly lost in Wonderland feel!! Happy Swapping!!

Comment: Wonderful ATC or should I say little canvas picture-what a great idea and I remember seeing that cartoon where the wolf's eyes pop out-no I'm not quite that old but they show old cartoon on tv every now and then on the classic movie channels as fillers! And thank you for the sweet little hanging bird! It must be my luck day as I got another swap from Anchorage today-too!
Response: Oh i'm so glad you liked it!!! It was hard to part with. I'm only 25 myself and love to watch vintage cartoons myself. My grandma had strong feelings about the cartoon as it was done in a time when women where seen as objects. fun history comes through studding cartoons I think, glad you liked your package and the wolf did not get it before you.

Comment: Wow. Quite dramatic! Is that candle wax? Thanks for the extras! I'll have fun using them!!
Response: Yes it is wax. I questioned if I should go a little more dramatic as I hope not to offend anyone. I felt since the project was burning melting was a good 2nd element.

Comment: The whole first chapters! Thank you for sharing so much. They're not ones I would have likely stumbled across myself so I'm really looking forward to reading your bundle when I have some extra free time this weekend. I appreciate the postcard & bookmark too; I loooove wildflowers so the fireweed is perfect. :) Do you also homeschool your daughter?
Response: I hope you enjoyed reading some you should message me if any of them interest you... Why why nots. I am a single working mom and don't have the opportunity to homeschool her right now. she starts kindergarden at a charter school however this fall that focuses on Arts and Science it's a very very cool school were very excited. however I am wanting to add some of her work at home especially over the summer. she's been pre k this last year and is so excited about math! I use saxion in growing up, do you have any recommendations for kindergarden math books or sumer projects? pm me :)

I think I am watching it and will sign up now I know its yours!!! :) Do you have any tips or ideas for me to try on the ATC's? Its one of the first I have ever done and I know I have a lot more to learn :) Thanks for the rating!

Hey! I'm the host for 'Ombre Paint Chip ATCs' and just wanted to let you know that I changed the 3 partners down to 2 since I'll be busy with work myself and I don't want to rush my own ATCs for this. I hope this is OK with you as a participant, if not or you have any other questions/comments, please feel free to message me or leave a comment :)) [noora]

I think art does help get a movement started. :)
