Following an Instagram trend throughout the month on March #marchmeetthemaker here's my contribution, although I'm afraid i haven't quite met the daily challenges,to give a little insight into Crafty Debs.
You
You
Hi my name is Debbie Frost & I live in South Devon. I've been a demonstrator for Stix2 for almost 4 years which I love. I'm also a craft tutor & I regularly run my own workshops on a variety of different topics & techniques
Where
I live in sunny Exmouth, Devon which not only has a stunning4 mile beach but beautiful scenery & nature at the estuary where the river Exe meets the sea.
How you started
I have been a crafter for as long as I can remember but got more interested in card making when I got a job in the local craft shop (Japonica- sadly no longer open!). I then went on to win a couple of competitions in craft magazines, was a DT member for the Woodware blog & was finally approached by Stix2 to become one of their demonstrators. The rest is history!
Favourite to Make
Anything messy & mixed media with lots of texture,colour & different techniques especially canvases!
Workspace
Overlooking my garden but don't look too too closely at the mess!
Can't Live Without
My trusty Stix2 Hot Melt glue gun! Always on my desk & useful for all kinds of craft techniques not to mention household repairs.
Customers & Feedback
Nothing gives me a greater buzz when I've been to one of my Stix2 demo days at one of my crafty retailers than knowing I've done a good job & everyone had a good time. So thanks to all my loyal retailer supporters!

Creative Friends
Of course I count all those associated with Stix2 as my creative friends but we all have special ones don't we? I feel privileged to count this fine trio of ladies as my close crafty friends.
