Technically I'm not new here, but it's been 3 ish years since I last logged in and it seems like quite a bit has changed. And then I found this checklist and I cannot resist a checklist. So here we go (wide grin)
My name is Elin but you can call me Sparkles. You'll see why when you get to know me :) I am almost 40 and while I'm born and raised in northern Sweden I now live in Alberta, Canada. I'd say, don't move here unless you really like winter, it's here for the better part of the year. I do. Love winter that is. This past 2 weeks we have had -40c and both I and my dog (he is 2 parts fur and 1 part dog) have been outside for hours. He mostly barks at stuff while I take photos.
I'm an illustrator and storyteller (can you tell?) (wrinkles nose and smiles) I have a background in journalism/social media marketing and graphic design but I finally got out of my own way and I'm making a living out of my no 1 passion in life - drawing/creating.
My experience with crypto? Well, I started this Steemit account back in 2018. And while I'm great at many things numbers and things like this makes my brain hurt. But I really want to learn so please point me in the direction of helpful tutorials. Thank you!
Hobbies, well yes. A lot of them. Or well. I like to learn about hobbies, and research them - but in the end, I don't really actually end up doing them. I'm more of a collector of hobbies. Not enough hours in the day doesn't help either.
I carry crystals and got a pretty good aim - so behave. (looks around)
I am trying to figure out how to make the most out of my creativeness - so I'm thinking of creating NFTs and other fun things. So, posts like that would be super helpful!
As I said, I found Steemit back in February of 2018 but life happened pretty hard (for a lot of us I'm sure). I am hoping to draw things that help people Sparkle a little brighter.
(pokes) you made it to the end of the wall of text!! (wide grin) I appreciate that you took the time to read :D
btw, did you know that there are cowboys in Alberta? (waves hands and raises eyebrow) I know, I had no idea either!
Good Work 👍

ehm... I realize now that I got a bit carried away yesterday. I somehow didn't read that each of the achievements needed to be verified before doing the next one. I had so much fun writing them and crossing them off the list. I'm a sucker for lists.
Sorry guys!
