It’s been a hot minute since I did a “meet the maker” kinda post and we have quite a few new followers (hellooo and thank you for joining me. I really do appreciate your love!), so I thought I’d hop on and do one to introduce myself.
If y’already know me. Have a read. You may find something new!
I am Nat, aka Chief Executive Panda of Determined Panda Prints.
I am 41, and I have been privileged to have had a wide variety of jobs, allowing me to develop a broad range of skills. (I sound a bit like Liam Neeson in Taken, but I’m not scary, I’m cute and cuddly lol.)
I am a total book dragon. If I’m not designing pandatastic stationery for you all, you’ll find me with my head in a book, drinking decaf tea or coffee, possibly by the sea (I live in Eastbourne ). At weekends, this may be upgraded to a G&T or a Margarita or two.
My favourite book in the whole widest world is Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and I currently have 28 different editions in my collection.
I adore pandas 🐼 . They are very much my spirit animal. Cute, cuddly, chaotic and clumsy.
In the Panda household you’ll find, along with myself (obvs) Mr Panda, Teen Panda, and Panda Pup.
Other fun facts about me:
🐼I’m a qualified nursery teacher
🐼I’m also a qualified nail technician
🐼My favourite colour is green
🐼I lived in Nashville for 6 months (I don’t remember anything about it sadly, as I was 2)
🐼I have 7 (yes SEVEN) siblings (would have been cheaper to get a tv licence, but then I wouldn’t have some of the best brothers and sisters around)
🐼I played hangman with film director extraordinaire John Madden at my grandpa’s 80th birthday party
I have several chronic health conditions that make it impossible for me to have a normal job, but who wants to be “normal”? Not me, that’s for sure.
If you want to know anything else, shout! And if you know anyone who might like my stuff or my wafflings, invite them to follow me! Let them enjoy the crazy ride too 🐼
