New Contributor to Pretty Pink Posh

2013 will be a year of growth, changes and excitement here at Pretty Pink Posh. If you haven’t already, be sure to Subscribe to Pretty Pink Posh by Email so you don’t miss any posts. I have new sponsors, giveaways, Featured Bloggers and much, much more coming!

One of the things I’m most excited about? My sister will be contributing her amazing crafty creations & food items to this blog occasionally! Now you may be wondering why I’m bringing on someone new to add content to the blog, I know I did before when visiting other blogs. The biggest reason: you get fabulous inspiration from another source with a different style. 

Krista majored in Professional Baking at a local community college during high school and graduated with honors and an increasing desire to learn more than just the art of baking and pastry work. She began the Culinary Arts program while taking outside courses to achieve her degree in Applied Sciences.  She had the opportunity to compete for the Student Chef of the Year 2010 competition for Washington State and achieved the title “ ACF Student Chef of the Year”. After graduating, she interned at a prestigious restaurant in Seattle and was later hired on and became a sous chef. While working, she was also on the ACF Culinary Youth Team for the United States and competed in Germany for the competition among young chef worldwide.  {The team won both gold and silver!} Now she is resting up after her whirlwind adventures to Germany and Japan and planning where she wants to go next.

While Krista has gone into the culinary field professionally, she is EXTREMELY talented in crafting and photography as well. I’m constantly amazed at her talent and skills. It’s not unusual to find her sewing, creating unique decor items, trying out new crafting techniques or doing random photo shoots.

Here’s a peek at some of the things she made in December…..

I have told Krista about the amazing community of people I have met via blogging and I can’t wait for her to get to know you all {and vice versa}.  Please join me in giving her a great big welcome- she’s a little hesitant about this new endeavor.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope your new year is off to a great start!

  13. Love Krista’s projects and am excited to see what else you post here. I love how you support your sister and it brightened my day. I am the oldest of 5 children (4 girls and 1 boy) and one of those sisters is like my twin even though we are 8 years apart and understand that sisterly bond – there is nothing like it. Congratulations Krista and look forward to getting to know you and Paulina more this coming year.
