Ann Enchant is the creation of two people, joining our efforts to create this book making, craft, pagan business. We are Ann-gB and Annie B.
So who are you talking to, you may wonder?
Let me just prologue this entry with stating that "I" refers to me, Ann-gB / Angie, who is currently writing this. When you nice folk said happy birthday it was my day you were referring to. If you send a message to DA, the website - Arts and The Craft
[link] or email, you will get me in answer.
What's with the name?
Ann is the name we have in common. My name is Angela B., nickname of Angie. (That morphed into Ann-gB because at the time of making this account that seemed clever to me. Ah, retrospect. Anyway..) Annie B is Bonnie Ann B, nickname of Annie. If you were thinking just now that we two are related then you guessed right.
Why tell you now?
It was never my intention to hide Annie from the public. This account started with my art alone. Annie's influence was first shown in joint projects, until we both split into doing our own books. Since I was hoping and planning to turn this into a business it made more sense to keep the forward momentum. To have us both under one name, to create a profile that was our two styles unified.
I'm clarifying all of this now because within the next month our shop, Ann Enchanted, will be open for business. I wanted both of Annie and I to be properly introduced before that moment happened. We wrote up some profiles to help everyone get a better feel for who we are and what we're doing. Ann-gB
