Seven things about me that people might find interesting...
2) I am a graphic designer specializing in print. Although most graphic designers today use a mac, I started out using an old compugraphic typesetter where you had to punch in codes for your type size, typeface, etc. then print out the galleys and cut & paste your layout. I can't imagine doing it that way today!
3) I love miniatures and have a 6 ft. long memory box (its only 12" high) filled with mini treasures! A great conversation piece.
4) I have a beta fish named Rocky who I love to watch. Its my form of meditation.
5) I am a certified scuba diver. My husband promised to take me to Hawaii for our honeymoon if I got certified. Couldn't say no to that challenge!
6) My nickname was queenie growing up because I'm bossy!
7) I love creating halloween costumes and have made almost every costume my boys have worn over the years.
Well that was fun! I will try to add photos to this post tomorrow - I think they add so much character and fun to these statements. Until next time, have fun treasure hunting! FYI - Since I didn't post a mystery item today, I will add one this weekend.
Thank you so very much Kelley!! I'm very honored sweet girl!!!! This is so funny but I started typesetting in about 1981 and started on a Compugraphic machine too!!! Picturing grocery store ads, business cards, newsletters, all in my head! Can you believe we did that? And the font strips, ugghhh. I hated changing those things! I finally learned the Mac in the late 80s and early 90s but finally after the fourth son, I quit to stay home with the boys ~ I've still done a little part time but love antiques and creating art and try to make money this way! Boy, I bet you didn't know you were gonna get a autobiography! Thank you again Kelley for this wonderful award and have a great weekend! ~ xxoo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteYour welcome fellow typesetter! Its great to talk to someone who's been through it - thanks for sharing. I think its wonderful you've changed careers - that's exactly what I'm trying to do along with my sister who's also a graphic designer. I have only one client right now that I work with in addition to my etsy business. Its tough sometimes keeping up! You have a great weekend too! xxxooo, Kelley
