About Me
It's me...Amanda Mischell (like Michele and not Mitchell.) I have had many careers in my lifetime, and owning my own business is by far my favorite, and my most challenging.
When Covid hit in early 2020, I was a traveling Financial Project Manager and Implementation Specialist. But you know who loses their job when there's a nationwide shutdown? Business to business traveling project managers, that's who. So, I took the opportunity to take a hobby I love...washi tape, planning and journaling and make it into a real business. I had been dabbling in selling washi on Etsy prior to that, but this gave me the chance to take it to the next level....and what a ride! It's not always easy, but it's always rewarding.
To get to know me, here is a little bit of my life trivia:
Where Am I from? Ohio, born and raised. I'm a city girl...yes, Columbus is a big city! I appreciate the country but my heart is the city life.
Am I married? Yes! I am married to the most wonderful human being on the planet. We have been married for 14 years and have a blended family that include two beautiful grown children.
What is my degree? I have a BA in Elementary Education with a concentration in Reading Comprehension. Say, what! Yup!
Why Am I Not Teaching? That's a good question, but I say, teaching comes in all shapes and sizes. I have trained and taught many individuals how to balance general ledger accounts, how to do bank reconciliations, how to keep organized, etc. It's just a different classroom than what I imagined. But teaching is teaching.
What Do I Have Planned For Amanda Mischell Designs? So, so much! You will see lots of new stickers and journaling papers, as well as, the best washi tape available. I also plan to continue to introduce new washi tapes in my own designs.
What is My Favorite Pastime? Well, of course planning and journaling. That's a given. But, I also like to draw and color and scrapbook and make mini books. I enjoy music and reading....listening to audio books while I do my shipping is the best. And I LOVE to travel! I just can't do it as much as I would like nowadays.
What is My Planner Line-up for 2022? I use the following planners: Hobonichi Weeks (Weekly notes and appointments;) Hobonichi Cousin (Monthly calendar, Memory keeping, Home improvement notes;) Erin Condren Life Planner (Business notes and Customer requests;) Erin Condren Daily Duo (Mapping out busy days;) Kikki K Personal Planner (Year over year lists and projects;) and finally, Levenger Notebook (Master To-Do list.)
