Nampa (IPA: [næm p?]) is the largest city in Canyon County, Idaho, and the second largest in the state. Only the capital city Boise is larger. As of the 2005 census, the population was around 78,000, having grown very quickly in recent years. Nampa is one of the fastest-growing cities in Idaho. Nampa is located 26 miles west of Boise along Interstate 84. The city is considered part of the Boise metropolitan area. Nobody knows for sure where Nampa got its name. The belief is that it came from a Native American word for moccasin. Native Americans stuffed their moccasins with sagebrush to keep warm, making a larger footprint. There is also a Nampa in Canada. Visitors to Nampa may notice a certain odor about the city, especially on foggy days. This is a by-product of the Amalgamated Sugar Factory, a sugar beet processing plant. When the beets are cooked, they emit an odor. -- Source: Wikipedia.com

It's another month and that means that it's time for another give away. This month's featured artist is Reni from Knit Girl in Idaho and this is what one lucky winner will receive:.JPG)
Hi, my name is Reni LeBard and I have an Etsy shop called Knit Girl in Idaho. I have been married for 23 years and my husband and I have two teenage boys, ages 17 and 13. Our family moved to Idaho from Seattle five years ago this month, but having been born and raised in Alaska, Idaho is much more like home to me than Washington ever was!
I learned how to knit when I was a little girl, but didn't pick up the craft again until my kids were in school. I started out knitting only garter stitch scarves and other novice patterns, however, it didn't take long until I was bored with those projects. Now my all-time favorite project to knit is socks. They are portable, challenging and you can make a pair of socks with one skein of yarn. There are so many free patterns available that I don't think I can ever tire of knitting socks.
In October 2009, I started Knit Girl in Idaho out of necessity because I wanted to make and use my own stitch markers when knitting my socks. Stitch markers are used while knitting socks, mittens, hats, shawls or other patterns that require you to keep track of your stitches. Some people use scraps of yarn, but stitch markers are a fun way to adorn any knitting project, but also make great gifts! I belong to an online knitting and crochet social network, called Ravelry and the gals on Ravelry saw my stitch markers and started requesting sets for themselves! After a few short weeks, these same women encouraged me to open an Etsy shop, which I did. It wasn't long before my non-knitting family and friends wanted to support me, which is why I also sell wine charms in my shop!
One of my first goals when I opened my Etsy shop was to connect with other creative people in my community, so I joined the Idaho Indie Works team! It's wonderful to have a group of experienced, local Etsy sellers to chat with and glean invaluable insight from, but I'm more interested in cultivating new friendships with the men and women who are members of the IIW team.

Beach Chicken.
Artist Bio: Aimee was born in New York and raised on the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. With a love for the ocean and the wild life that inhabits the coast she decided to name her business after her nickname for sea gulls, which is Beach Chickens. Aimee has been creative and crafty as far back as she can remember. Living on the beach and taking daily walks to collect “treasure”, she started making sculptures out of the random objects that she found and sold them at an art gallery in Beaufort, NC. Moving to Boise, Idaho changed where Aimee would find her “treasure”, she now looks to thrift stores and recycling bins. In every item created she includes re-used or recycled materials. Her most popular items are vintage book journals and upcycled jewelry.
Why I am a member of IIW - I became a member of Idaho Indie Works to meet other artists in the Boise area. When I joined I was new to doing craft shows and they helped me learn about the scene. Every time I am with the team they amaze me, they are just a great group of talented people.
Description of item - These Upcycled Earrings are made out of a plastic bottle and have glass beads hanging from them.
The Rules of the Give-Away:
1. Please visit Beach Chicken's Etsy shop and have a look around then leave us a comment on which of Aimee's items you like the best and why. Please make sure to include your E-mail or Etsy shop name so we know how to get in touch with you.
2. The give-away will end April 17th and the winner announced shortly after.
3. Only one entry per person, please.
