JennuineCandles feature!

Here we once again, with another awesome ArtFire Artisan feature. This time round we are featuring Jenn from jennuinecandles. Now I will hand over to Jenn.

1) What do you like to be called? Jenn

2) Were you named after anyone? Not that I know of. I think my parents thought it would be funny to give me the first and second most popular names the year I was born.

3) How many birthdays have you had? 34 (but when I get to 50 I will start counting backwards.)


4) Where in the world are you located, and where would you like to be located? I am currently in the US (Arizona)...I’m not sure if I would like to remain in the US (maybe Oregon) or move to Australia.

5) What defines you as you? I think that most people would define me as honest, smart, caring and strong, but with a little bit of naivety. And I am okay with that.

6) What was a defining moment of your childhood? (happy/sad) This is a very interesting question. I would have to say, after much thought, that the birth of my sister was a defining moment. After 8 years of being an only child, I was abruptly thrown into the world of sharing (love, time, toys, food, etc). Although initially a “sad” moment in my childhood, it is now one of the best things that I could have asked for – she is one of my best friends.

7) If you could be an animal which animal would you be and why? I would be my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Stella. She has a great, posh life!

8) Do you believe in miracles? I believe that everything happens for a reason.


9) Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Usually.

10) Favorite smells? Rain, Fresh Mowed Grass, Wrapping Paper at Christmas.

11) What is on your mouse pad? Nothing special, it’s just blue and round.

12) If you were a crayon, what colour would you be? I would be purple...it is my favorite color and has been for as long as I can remember.

13) Do you still have your tonsils? I actually do.

14) Do bald men wash their head with soap or shampoo? I’d say soap or the new all in one body wash/shampoo stuff for men

15) What is the first thing you notice about people? Their demeanor/how they present themselves.

16) What color pants and shoes are you wearing? Black pants (pajama pants, actually) and no shoes – it’s Sunday

17) Scary movies or happy endings? Most definitely happy endings.


18) When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say? Boo!

19) Where can people find you and what you do on the internet?

20) What do you want to be known for, both in terms of your ‘art’ and personally? Other than adding creative and unique, I would hope that I would continue to be known as honest, smart, caring and strong, but with a little bit of naivety.

That was excellent Jenn, thanks so much. I'm sure the readers enjoyed it as much as I did. Now on to my spotlight of the wonder items available at jennuinecandles on ArtFire.



So we come to the end of another ArtFire Artisan feature. Be sure to join us next time.

That's right, I'm doing a Giveaway Competition. And there is more than one thing up for grabs! And more than one way to give yourself the chance to win!!!

The main prizes up for grabs are one of two Byzantine Chainmaille bracelets in Anodized Aluminium. Similar to this one..



The winners will have a choice of colours and the bracelet will be made specifically to fit them (or a person of their choosing)! These will be made by me and shipped anywhere in the world!

In order to put yourself in the draw to win one of these bracelets you can do one or all of the following:

1) Post a comment along with your favourite item from HaffinaCreations on ArtFire and your email (so I can contact you if you win)

2) Buy something from HaffinaCreations on ArtFire - this will give you 5 entries in the draw.

3) Help me promote the Giveaway - for each promo you do you will get another entry (make sure you let me know in some way - I'm not everywhere..yet!)

4) Take a guess at the number of beads in my beadie bag (maximum of 3 guesses) and each guess will give you another entry. And to make it even better..the person who guesses the exact amount, or the closest to the actual amount, will receive a OOAK polymer clay pendant, on a leather necklace,made by me.

Here is a picture of my beadie bag -


So there are lots of ways to entry and plenty of opportunity to have lots of entries in the draw.
The winners of the bracelets will be drawn out of a hat (very sophisticated) by one of my sons on the 9th of May 2009! (This would Australian time.. so please take this in to account.) Winners will be posted ASAP after.

Djstoreroom Feature!

Here we are with another ArtFire Artisan feature. This time round we are featuring Diana from DjStoreRoom. So I will hand over to Diana.

1) What do you like to be called? Diana. DjStoreRoom.

2) Were you named after anyone? Princess Diana. She got married and gave birth to Prince William just before I was born.

3) How many birthdays have you had? Twenty-Six…

4) Where in the world are you located, and where would you like to be located? I am in SINGAPORE!! I would just stay put, as logically it is the best choice. But frankly, I miss France.

5) Do you believe in miracles? Absolutely! Nothing in the world is impossible. I never thought that I will settle down so early in life, but as I believe in miracles, nothing in the world is impossible.

6) Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? No. I slip them on and snugged them off.

7) Favourite smells? I love the smells of babies!! When they were just born, their fragrant fills the air!! But please, no sweaty and dirty babies for me! I will just grab and carry them to the bathroom for a nice warm shower to restore that lovely baby smell!

8) What is on your mouse pad? I don’t use a mouse pad. Optical mouse works fine on its own… But I totally dig those handmade mouse pads that I saw on ArtFire.Com

9) If you were a crayon, what colour would you be? I would be PINK!! I LOVE pink!! Fabrics, Ribbons, Clothes, Shoes, Paint, Bags... All Pink... Sweet…

10) Do bald men wash their head with soap or shampoo? How about facial foam? It’s gentle enough for the delicate skin…

11) What is the first thing you notice about people? I will see if they are happy. Do they look bored? Or do they look distracted? I go for their mood first. Mood determines everything, from their appearance to the way they walk.

12) Scary movies or happy endings? Romantic, Happy Endings works for me ALL the time. Basically, I like Korean Sob Dramas… Cry till my tissues are all used up…
