Welcome Hilary Kanwischer!

I'm so excited to have Hilary with us this month! Hilary is incredibly sweet and extremely talented.....let's give Hilary a big welcome! You just might win "Hilary's Favorite Things" giveaway.....Winner will be picked by a Random Number Generator and announced on August 16th so make sure to leave a comment.

Meet Hilary......

Hi there, my name is Hilary Kanwischer and I live in South Florida with my husband and 2 children, Courtney & Connor. I started scrapbooking when my daughter was 3 after a trip to the local scrapbook store to find zoo invitations and was immediately awed by all the "stuff" they had in there. I was hooked right away. I started stamping shortly thereafter, after attending my first "stamping party".

I work as a Firefighter / Paramedic and have been with my department for almost 15 years now and I drive a big ladder truck, which my son thinks is "very cool". I also work part time at Pottery Barn. I first met Cindy back in 2005 after going to Colorado for the very first Sweetwater Retreat and I was immediately taken back by how sweet, fun, and creative she really is. Going to Colorado was a turning point in my life and we are now trying desperately to move from here to there, after I "retire" from the Fire Department. I cannot begin to tell you how truly excited and honored I am that Cindy invited me for a Guest Designer spot. Thank you so much!
