‘Artistic’ and ‘Resourceful’… love how you post about the local community and all it has to offer with regards to entertaining childern in such an intellectual way while following a practical budget! ‘Practical’ - a third word choice!

just by looking at those great pics of the glove and ball, I think of ‘passionate’, ‘rugged’ and ‘tranquility’.

This project will be difficult without prounouns, so I contribute “she” and “her”.

And since I spelled ‘pronouns’ incorrectly, I also contribute “gifted writer”

I’ll say, crafty and heartwarming.

Crafty in a crafts kind of way. Not in a Wile E. Coyote kind of way. :)

I’m having trouble squeezing in “humble” with the rest of the great adjectives you’ve all come up with. :)

I’m having the opposite problem now. I’m trying to turn 97 words into 50.

It is hard to talk about oneself in this way, isn’t it? I hate the idea of sounding like I’m bragging about myself. But here’s the thing: it’s a fine line between bragging and self-promotion. Where does one end and the other begin?

The first word that comes to mind for me is “inspriring” :)

How about: Andrea is an engaging writer and photographer, who brings her community and experiences to life for the online community with whom she interacts. Perspectives on current issues, calls to action and antecdotes of life are presented in her writing.

You can spend the last word on anything but “very”.

Approachable, genuine, hot….I could go on. I had someone write me a blog bio and when I needed to expand and update it I kept on using the third person. I think you’ve already “crafted” it (g-dam,n gov. speak) but consider using the third person and see how it feels.

Andrea Tomkins is an Ottawa writer and photographer. Her passion for community, both online and offline, endears her to her many fans. She is a warm, creative and funny mother of two girls who never met a craft she doesn’t like.
