Hello! My name is Trish D'Antonio (Tah Dah! on SCS), and I'm deeee-lighted to be a smART
cookie!!
I am a city girl from Montana who married a farm boy from New Jersey. We met while
attending college in Texas, and now live
in Philly suburbia. We celebrated our 11th anniversary
earlier this summer, and have two adorable kidlets: a 4 YO boy and a
2 1/2 YO girl. I am now
a full-time Mom, but in my pre-children days I worked in various capacities in Human Resources.
I have been crafty all my life, and have made everything from soap and candles to dolls from
mops. I also used to sew a lot,
and even made my own wedding dress. But all those pursuits
seemed to fall to the wayside when I discovered stamping. I
bought my first rubber stamp in '96,
but it wasn't until I attended a convention in '99 that my eyes were opened to the amazing
possibilities.
I was hooked, and have been getting inky ever since. I signed on as a demo with
Stampin' Up! in 01 and really enjoyed introducing
others to this great art form. I am no longer a demonstrator, but will never stop stamping. Time is precious with two
young children in the house,
and I love that I can sit down and create a card in 20 minutes. Definitely a creative outlet for
this mommy! Besides stamping, I love to read, sing, cook, snap pictures and chat with friends.
When Trish examined her
stamping style and personality to see what kind of cookie she'd be, this was the conclusion:
I'd have to
say that I'm a chocolate chip cookie. Simple and classic. But then I like to mix
it up and get fancy - so maybe one day
it's white chocolate with macadamia nuts. Still sweet, and
a little nutty! But after all, when you've started with a good
base, there's room to experiment!
