Marcy Penner...Winkler, MB Canada.
I'm a mama, scrapbooker, tv fanatic, business owner (www.myscrapshoppe.com), crafter, photographer, useless-fact-knower and a million other things. I detail some of my life on my blog (www.marcypenner.com) and fill my etsy shop (www.marcypenner.etsy.com) with little crafty goodies. I'm so excited to be a part of this adventure!
1. my family...
Rocks! It's me, my hubby, my daughter Molly (almost 11) and two boys Jack (8) and Max (almost 7).
2. you can find me...
On our 22 acre farm in Winkler, Manitoba (right above North Dakota for all you americans). We're renovating a 100 year old home and have been here for 11 years. When i'm not hanging out in my studio or at my scrapbook store i'm taking pictures and enjoying being a mama. Oh yah. And working on that house! ;)
3. my inspiration...
Is everywhere. Online. In nature. In magazines. In everything. I just have to remember to slow down long enough to look.
4. i'd never turn down...
Pizza or coke. mmmm.
5. if i could be anything i'd be...
A mama. Check. Other than that i've wanted to be a "starving artist" for a long time now.
6. when i'm creating i always...
- Stand. (Although I just now brought in a chair for my sewing machine).
- Have the tv on. But it has to be a tv show on dvd. Something I've already seen so I don't have to concentrate too hard.
- Have something to drink or eat.
7. i get excited about...
Making stuff. Sometimes it's so hard to start, because once I do it's hard to stop.
Also when the new fall TV schedule comes out. I'm counting down the days (I'm not kidding).
8. i steer clear of...
Crowds. That and grocery shopping.
9. i design for...
Myself. (Maybe one day i'll have more to add here! )
10. one day i'll...
Have a finished house and a studio i don't feel cramped in. My life will be simple and lovely.
11.the last time i did a cartwheel...
Probably about 20 years ago.
