She came to me unexpectedly...yes, I was working on my wolfgangzehen shop and out of nowhere I got a really sweet email about that store's merchandise and purpose. It was alaskanphoenix. We struck up a little convo immediately, and I realized we'd never interviewed an Alaskan before on the INCrowd blog! So, to put that right, here she is:Where were you born & raised?
I was born and raised in Heber City, Utah.
Where are you now & what led you there?
I am currently living in Wasilla, Alaska. I moved here with my parents.
The obvious question arises: do you know Governor Sarah Palin?
Yes, I know the governor. Very sweet woman, I hope the best for her.
How'd you get started creating?
I pick up hobbies all the time. I need a creative outlet, something to do with my hands and keep me busy. I enjoy other hobbies, although beading is my new favorite one!
What types of creations do you sell in for your Etsy shop(s)?
I mostly sell handmade jewelry in my Etsy shop. It's my new hobby. I have another shop called GingertreeCreations but it's empty right now.
What's your educational background, as it relates to your work?
I have no educational background in beadery or jewelry, I teach myself.
What's your muse, or what turns that little creative light inside you on?
My creative light twinkles when I see "new to me jewelry" that I just love. I tell myself, "You can do that!" So then I try.
What's your favorite thing about selling on Etsy?
My favorite thing about selling on Etsy is the shopping, I love seeing others' creations. There are so many creative people out there!
Are you a member of any Street Teams?
No, I do not belong to any street teams. I don't know what street teams are.
