1. Who is BerryBlueCreations? I am Berry Blue Creations. My real name is Beth Ward. My shop is a mix of bags, pillows, Bethie Flies and Angel Guards.
2. What kind of crafting/art do you do? How long have you been doing it? I love to sew. Making bags, pillows and pillow shams, quilted- looking things; plus the occasional Art Doll. I have been actively sewing and crafting since 2001. I have been selling since 2004, long before I knew of Etsy.
3. Where do you pull your inspiration from? My inspiration is pulled, yanked, and dragged from many places. People I know, nature, trends: both current and past.

7. Any tips for other Artists? The best tip I have for any artist is to think outside the box and don’t be afraid to experiment or ask questions. Promote your passions and share your knowledge. Your community will thank you for it.

Beth has lots of beautiful items listed in her Etsy shop, but I would have to say my favorite one is the Goldenrod Vacation Bag http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25057592
The mixture of yellows and florals reminds me of a bright sunny spring day, which is my most favorite time of the year!!
She has some great items, but one of my favorites would be the Scrappy saver shopping bag. Congrats on the interview, berryblue.

Instead of using those drab store bought recycled bags I like berrybluecreations - Scrappy Saver Shopping bag. It's colorful and something different that I could add to my grocery bag collection. At least I could walk around the store looking pretty while shopping for my family (smile)
