Craft-O-Maniac Interview

Today is the last day of blogger interviews. I want to thank everyone who participated and for sharing wonderful stories and advice with us. Last but not least we have Jennie from Craft-O-Maniac!

1. The one question that you all might get asked the most is, What got you in to blogging? 

I started my craft blog, because on  my family blog I would from time to time share Home Decor ideas and crafts, and those posts got lots of comments. I didn't want my family blog to be about those things, so CraftOManiac was born.

2. What made you decide to blog about crafting? 

I grew up with a very crafty talented mother. Years of watching her toll paint/paint wood, make dresses, sew, do floral arrangements, etc. I guess I just had it in my blood.

3. What other talents do you have that your bloggers might not know about? 

I can dance. I was on the Drill Team and in Dance 3 in HS and was told I was great at it. I love to dance and had dreams of being a dancer and pursing a dance team for the NBA at one time. HA! I can still move but I jiggle more now. HA again.

4. Do you have any advice to new bloggers?

 If you love blogging keep at it, be patient, leave comments, don't ask people to follow you, they will follow you if they love you. Be Original, and link link link to parties.

5. Do you feel competition from other bloggers? 

I do, I would so be lieing if I didn't say I can "feel" competitive. However, the moment you feel that way, STEP AWAY. leave the computer. Come back after you have cleared your mind.... and keep truckin, just BE YOU!

6. What's your favorite craft project?

 My favorite project was doing my craft nook, and doing it on a cheap budget.

7. What blogger do you admire the most or what blog do you visit the most?

 Jen- from Tatertots and jello. She was the first crafty blog I started following and she has inspired me as well as thousands more.

8. Where do you see your blogging career taking you?

 Hopefully to Magazines and TV. A girl can dream big. winks.

9. Where do you see your blog in five years? 

Bigger, Better, Funner. and with a .com

10. How many hours a week do you spend blogging? 

WOW- um, "daily" probably an hr. a day. However, I spend more hours reading blogs. winks again.

11. If you are a new blogger do you seek help from others?

 No, but there was a time or two when I would email other bloggers a question or two. However, I still do that now depending on what it is.

12. How many post do you typically put up on a week? 

I like to post at least five times a week.

Anything else you would like to add?

Blogging is a tremendously fun outlet for me. If you are a crafty creative blogger then even more so. Its wonderful to be inspire, and to also inspire others. The community is huge too. I have come across wonderfully creative woman out there. I can't wait to attend my first bloggy conference "SNAP" this year, and meet so many awesome woman, moms, bloggers. Blog because you love it, no matter anything else. 

Happy V-day everyone!!

Till Next time.
