Getting to know the gal behind the blog...

Pin It

Well, I'm sure by now ya'll know about the DeNami Facebook contest, looking for their biggest fan, and I'm sure ya'll are way tired of hearing me beg for your votes, lol. This is my last push...promise.

My little collage shows the Addict blog, Addict Facebook page, my stamp collection count (that has grown by 5 since then), the travel mug I use daily, misc household items like candles, boxes and tissue holders that I've made and even my charm bracelet. I did however substitute someone much cuter than me as a stand-in...you're welcome ;)  hehehe

Did you realize that this blog is not run in any way, shape or form by DeNami, it's not affiliated what so ever? I’m not on DeNami's design team, I don't get paid, and I don't get any perks. Well, I kinda take that back, there was one little perk, when Paulina Nakamura and the equally uber talented Beka offered to make this little blog chick-a-licious. Honestly I think they felt sorry for me and my pitiful attempt at blog designing, lol! I just love our new look and am so very thankful to them for hooking me up with all the cuteness.

The DeNami Addict blog started in July of 2011 and is the brain child of my bestie, Wendy. I came aboard about a week later. I have taken over these past 8 months due to her schedule being just too much right now so you rarely get to see her, but don't worry, she's still around and hasn't ran away to a deserted island with a chickie...yet! On top of my full time job, home & family, I personally devote anywhere from 12 to 20 hours a week running the blog...there's schedules to make, posts to write, challenges to finalize, cards to make...just so many behind the scenes things going on all the time that keep me plenty busy. I have strived to bring all of you inspiration, humor and updates about what’s going on in the world of DeNami Design. I not only run this blog on my own time, but at my own cost too…supplies to make as many cards as I make for the blog costs plenty, as you all well know. I run this blog simply because I believe in this company and their product and want to share the joy I get from creating with their stamps with everyone. I enjoy spreading the news about how wonderful DeNami Design is and I enjoy bringing inspiration to others and hope that they too will fall in love with this company as I have.  Did you know that I have participated in every hop and challenge since July of last year? I just love the hops and challenges because not only are they fun, but it gives me a chance to meet fellow DeNami fans and you all give me inspiration. I also love to help other bloggers when I can. Many of you have had questions from stamps to photography to blogging issues  and everything in between that I have helped with. In the world of crafting, I have found that a lot of crafters like to keep secrets on how they create a project, produce stellar pictures and other miscellaneous secrets to their success. I am proud to say that I am not one of those people and neither are the folks at DeNami Design. When you consider the facts that the folks at DeNami are accessible, very helpful and strive to bring us great products with lots of personal touches, how can you not fall in love with them?  In a world of big fish, a small little guppy like DeNami is still going strong, and for that, I applaud them. I for one am proud to be a fan.

 

 

I've really enjoyed getting to know a few of you fellow fans fairly well. You gals are amazing and I enjoy our e-mails and the friendships that DeNami has brought about. A few of you have been inspired to show your whole collection on your blogs recently...well, ya'll have inspired me to do the same!  Are you ready?? I  tried to capture all of the images as best as possible, but with a large collection it was pretty hard! :)  Keep in mind that if you have a stamp you'd like to see used, I'll gladly pull it out  and make a few cards to help push start some inspiration for you, just drop me an Email- DeNamiAddict@yahoo.com.

As of today, I officially have 296 random/single stamps, 35 Petit Four sets & 3 Trifle sets...if you break them down, that's a grand total of 460 stamps!

Misc. images:

Had to throw my lilac stamp in...it was hiding when I took the pic of the garden stamps, lol.

Well, that's it for me and my ramblings. I do really appreciate you gals for visiting with me here on the blog and all of the wonderful comments that you leave, it means a lot to me. I hope you go visit the DeNami Facebook page and cast a vote for the gal you think is the biggest fan weather it be me or not. To vote, simply click on the picture of the person you think deserves the vote and "like" it. The contest ends 8/31/2012. Thanks again!!

Yesterday it was suggested to me by a fellow lovely & talented DeNami fan, Stacy, that maybe others would like to show their collections too. I think she was on to something. I've added my little linking tool to this post so that anyone who wants to link photos of their DeNami collection can. Here's a direct quote from Stacy...I couldn't have said it better - " just fun to see what others love about DeNami because I bet everyone's collection is a little bit different and unique in their own way"  I hope to visit with you and see your collection.
