An Interview with TheSnootiePig and Giveaway!

Happy Friday! Here is a sweet giveaway from the shop of TheSnootiePig! After reading the answers to her questions I see we have a lot in common! Comment below to enter and good luck! 
(please be sure to read all entry rules and details)
Tell us a bit about yourself. 
I am a stay at home mama of two kids and a wonderful husband. I am a California girl, but now live in Texas. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, creating and designing accessories for my shop, sunny days, thrifting, warm baths and Milano cookies (I can eat the whole bag in one sitting.. not good I know).
What made you want to become an artist?
I have always loved creating and designing things with my hands, and when I had a baby girl I enjoyed making little creations for her to wear in her hair. I thought why not share these cute things with others and earn some extra income while I'm at it.

What is your favorite item to create?
My favorite thing to create would have to be the cluster headbands. I love blending colors and fabrics to make a one of a kind piece.

What advice would you give to new artists on Etsy?
I am so new myself, but the best advice I have would be to network, network, network! There are so many ways to get your name out there! It takes time and patience but in the long run , it pays off!

How do you promote your work?
I promote my shop through local businesses, Facebook and Twitter.
Do you have any websites connected to your shop (blog, facebook, twitter)?
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/TheSnootiePig/181917375182623 

What is the inspiration for your work?
My inspiration for my work is my family. This is something I thoroughly enjoy and sometimes though it can be a lot of work and time. They encourage me to keep going and reassure me its ok to eat Taco Bell three nights in a row.

Do any of your items go toward a special cause?
Not at this time.

Do you have a job outside of Etsy? How do you handle both?
I am a stay at home wife and momma and love it!

Where do you create?
I create in my dining room and what a mess it makes! Piles of material, ribbon, rhinestones... it's where it all comes together.

What are your goals for your shop?
My goal for my shop is to make it one that is about quality, not quantity. I want to be known for putting all my effort into each piece and to provide a product that makes buyers want to come back again! To be a little different from the rest and unique!

Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
I am a born again Christian and I live my life first for our Lord! When he is the center ,life is full of blessings and mercy! I am who I am today because of his mercy and grace and I want each part of my life to show that.
