Get To Know... Avie

I am very excited to feature Avis, the founder of the stationery company, Avie Designs. I first discovered her shop from the Etsy forums and later met her in person at a craft show here in Atlanta. She designs calling cards, bookplates, address labels and more which you can find at her Etsy shop, www.avie.etsy.com. She also has a blog: www.aviedesigns.blogspot.com and is currently working on updating her website: www.aviedesigns.com. So read on to learn more about her and how you can win one of her gorgeous calendars!
I am… happy most of the time.

I was
…recently at a family reunion.

I will be
… in Spain one day.

My passion is
… to make things with my hands.

Many people don’t know that I
… am a huge football fan. I drive 3 hours each way every weekend to see my team play.

Most days, you can find me… in my studio in my pjs working on orders and tending to my lovely customers.

I’d like to learn to… DANCE!

I can’t believe I… have created something that is so much fun & still called a "job"

If I won the lottery, I would… hopefully change very few things about my life and change a lot of things about others' lives.

I’d like to thank the Academy for… giving me the courage to take a chance on my dream & rewarding me for it every day.

Lovely lovely :) This was my first time visiting avie's shop, and it's now firmly hearted! Thanks for the intro...

Wow, the calendar is gorgeous. I also love the simplicity and pallette of the Leaf Wedding Suite.

Looking forward to taking a honeymoon in early 2010 — we'll need the break after a ridiculous Autumn.

Already your fan, on fb and in general.

I'm definitely looking forward to several things next year, such as being a college junior, studying abroad during the summer for art, my 21st birthday, 4-year-anniversary with my love, and.. the list goes on. ;) A calendar would be nice!

I love her peacock diamond 2 design, it's so gorgeous. The colors are lovely!
