I live in NC, USA

I have 2 Sons, Brandon age 32 and Bradley age 29.

I have been crafting birdhouses, feeders & butterfly houses for 14 years.

I am going to be adding some wooden home and garden accessories to my shop.

One more newbie!

1. Shop Name(s)
I use the name "SnowFoxCreations" almost everywhere, and usually just tag an 2 [site name] on the end. For instance, my main etsy shop is SnowFoxCreations @ Etsy, or just SnowFoxCreations. I'm also fine with people just calling me LittleSnowFox or whatever username I'm using.

2. First Name

Cherise

3. How long have you been a member of the Etsy Community?

I joined a few years ago, but I haven't really done much besides browsing and blogging about the cool/cute things I find here. I only recently realized that there was a forum. ^^; (Although some of the people there seem kind of scary and grouchy, so I may not post there much. 0__o)

4. Married/Single? Spouse's name

Single. Waiting for my Prince Charming. ^^"

5. Birthday Month/Day... we don't need the year.

November. :)

6. What state/country do you live in?

United States. :D I love America! X3

7. Do you have any children? Will you tell us their lst name and age?

No, see #4. ^^ Although I do have some wonderful cats...

8. How long have you been crafting what you sell on Etsy?

I've been doing ipod cases for about a year, and kanzashi for a bit less than that, I think. I've done beadwork for over a decade, but it takes so long that I don't usually sell it.

9. When you have free time, what do you like to do?

Read humor blogs online, sew, read books, code websites, edit the CSS styling of existent websites, collect traditional Japanese textiles, read manga, watch anime, try to keep the cats from grabbing my art supplies and running off with them (apparently, the yarn packs I use for crochet look a lot like kittens, because my calico kept "adopting" them...)

10. Are you on a ministry team at your church or do you have your own ministry?

I work as a secretary/web designer/general handywoman at AllFaithsChristian.org, a local campus ministry. I'm not currently involved in church ministry, but that's mainly because our church is in another city, and I can't get there often enough. ^^;

What type is it?

We feed hungry students, hold a weekly Bible study and generally try to be a light on that campus.

11. How long have you been a Christian?

Since I was about 7 or 8. I remember the time and place, just not the year.

12. What is your favorite item in your shop right now?

I love the bunny ipod cozy- http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35958276 It's an exact duplicate of the one I made to use myself. I *love* the adorable fabric- it may be the cutest fabric ever! X3

13. What would you like to do that you have not done yet?

A lot of things. I guess of the more important dreams, I really want to find a way to feed and provide for the hungry children around the world. Hopefully someday I'll be able to sell enough to make that possible. ^^

14. If we were having a team party, what would you be bringing?

Something unique, weird and tasty.

15. Do you prefer salty or sweet snacks?

Both! Why choose? ^^

16. What type of pets do you have, if any?

Three cats: a sweet calico, a shy snowshoe-siamese and a hyper but refined grey tabby kitten. I used to have a wonderful tabby for 19 years, but she just left us. TT_TT The grey striped cat that shows up in my older art and photos is her. We also had an aquarium for about 10 years, with a grouper and ocellaris clownfish, among others.

17. Which of these three would you prefer to do? Hang glide, bungee jump, or sit by the pool and be waited on hand and foot?

^^; I don't really like any of those that much, but I guess hand glide (although I'm such a clutz that it would be a really bad idea.)

18. If you were on a rocket to the moon, what is one thing you would want to have?

A Bible.

19. Does your vehicle have a name, if so, what is it?

I don't currently have a vehicle, but I want a giant electric Victorian submarine called The Nautilus. :3 ...I love Jules Verne books, especially 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. ^_^" I've wanted to go on a sub like that for so long... I don't anticipate it happening, but I can dream, can't I? ^^;

20. Is there anything other type of items that you would like to add to your current shop?

I've been planning on making "long cat" scarves for winter for over a year, but I never get around to it and winter is past now- maybe someday I'll make some. I also plan on adding many more ipod cases and ipod cozies and some items inspired by or to be worn with traditional Japanese kimono. I may also sell supplies, since I have a ton of them laying around- my room is kind of like Hobby Lobby after a tornado. @_@

Say Hello to Dianne!

1. Mama Rabbits Workshop

2. Dianne

3. I joined Etsy in May of 2009 but didn't start listing until July, and really didn't get serious with it until November.

4. Sad to say I am a widow. My husband died in 2006 of a sudden massive heart attack. He was only 54. It's still hard living alone and the holidays are especially difficult for us.

5. Birthday is February 4

6. I live in North Alabama

7. I have one son. His name is Brian and he turned 30 in May. I have a sweet daughter-in-law named Veronica, no grands yet. They've only been married two years and she is still in college right now. I'm not rushing them, but when one does come I will have a ball with it I'm sure!!

8. I have been crafting for most of my life. My mom and I did craft shows for over 25 years. We still make things together. The quilt, pillows and dolls in my Etsy shop are things I have done for years, although the Cathedral Windows pattern is fairly new for me. My mom had done it years ago. We started making the quilts together about six or 7 years ago, at least. I got hooked on that pattern and have been doing it along with everything else ever since.

9. In the little free time I have I love to read (listen) to recorded books. My eye condition prevents me from reading more than a few paragraphs at a time, so my recorded books are my best friends. Reading has always been my favorite thing to do. "Hearing" books is not quite as good as reading the written word, but it sure beats the alternative. I also enjoy my flowers in the summer, and cutting my own grass. Also spending time with family, and going to church.

10. I am in a very small church and we are in the process of building membership right now. We have been blessed with a wonderful new pastor recently and he is planning some short mission trips to go on soon. If I can I plan to be a part of these. I am also the treasurer of my church.

11. I have been a christian for about 22 years.

12. My favorite item in my shop is the Cathedral Windows Quilt.

13. I would like to travel a lot more than I have had the opportunity to do so far. I look forward to the mission trips we are planning. I dream of one day seeing my Etsy shop become a success, this would be a great opportunity for me, not only to earn extra money, which is a big need for me, but also for the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

14. I would bring my good salsa dip and one of my lusious mandrin ornage cakes.

15. Sweets are my downfall!

16. I'm loaded with pets! I have about 20 rabbits, about 12 quail, my son's little terrier dog outside that I got left with, my favorite baby Miss Mousey. She is the cat you see on my Avatar. She is my best buddy. I also have 2 to 4 outside cats depending on when you count! Sounds like a zoo doesn't it?

17. Just put me beside the pool, please.

18. Plenty of depends, I wouldn't be looking forward to the trip!!

19. My Dodge Pick-up is Big Red/

20. Yes! So many ideas are going through my head. I want to add more types of throw pillows, and lots of smaller, more inexpensive items, and I hope to be able to put together some more different types of kits.
