Valentines Challenge and Treasure Hunt - 12 lucky winners!

We Amys are embarking on another team challenge – a Valentine’s Day challenge focusing on our interpretation of the day. Each Amy has this Valentine inspired item for sale in her shop. Seek out and find them all to be entered for a chance to win one of twelve prizes! Should you choose to accept this mission, you have one week to complete the hunt.

Here’s how to play:

Between Feb. 14 and 20, visit each of the participating shops below. Find the special Amys in the Arts heart hidden in an item listing in each shop. As you find each heart, copy and paste the URL of the item where it was hidden into a list. Once you find all 12, email your list to amy@sewartsy.com

On Feb. 21, from those players who have correctly identified all of the hidden-heart items, we will randomly choose and announce a winner for each shop. There are 12 shops, so there will be 12 winners!!!

Introducing Amy Jenkins, Cozy Rampage

Want to get to know us Amys better?
Here continues a series of getting-to-know-you interviews.
Next up: Amy Jenkins of Cozy Rampage

How long have you been an artist, and how long have you been active as a business artist?
I've been a professional artist for over 25 years, and started my first business in 1996.

Are you an artist full time?
Part time each Artist/Housewife

Who or what inspires you to create?
EVERYTHING. I'm Easy.

Describe your work space.
I have moved and had many spaces over the years. At the present, I have a dedicated room in my house for extreme crafting- 3 sewing machines, Dremel set, bins of fabrics and projects, hand tools. The larger tools (drill press, sander) are in the next room, which is also the garage. The electronics toolkit has migrated upstairs into the office to be closer to the computers.

What kinds of things do you like to do in your free time?
Read, ride my bicycle, cook, mix fancy cocktails

What is your favorite handmade item, made by you or given to you?
I have a killer wooden carving of a buzzard that I purchased at a roadside stand in Jamaica in 1971.

What does being an Amy mean to you?
I am beloved! And a good friend to many. Wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy
