Questions & Answers

w/ Gemma Guthrie

​

​

​

Q: Do you like to play chess?

​

​

A: Yes, yes, I do! It is so fun, even if I don't win. I always say, the more challenging, the better! ;) 

​

​

​

Q: Do you like art?

 

 

A: I. LUV ART!!! Yes, yes, I am sort of an art freak.... you'll just have to deal with it ;) This is part of my passion in life. I

 

 

want to make paintings that give people a smile.☺ 

 

 

 

Q: Crazy or calm?

​

​

A: Okay, well I think I am a bit of both. This may surprise you, but I am actually a bit well..... on the shy side. It may not

 

 

seem like it on here but, at first, I am a bit of a shy-pie.  When you get to know me though, I think you'll want to be

​

​

done with me :P No, I am just joking a round but still, I might get a bit crazy.... just watch out peeps ;) hehe.

 

 

Q: Do you like baking/cooking?

 

 

 

A: I LUV BAKING & COOKING! This is the other half of my passion. I want to make delicious cakes, cupcakes, & all that

 

 

stuff but in a..... wait for it..... wait for it.... a healthy way! You may be thinking,

​

​

 

"Whaaaatt do dah huh!?"

​

​

​

No, you heard me right, a healthy way. Okay so there is no way you can make a dessert totally "healthy approved" &

 

 

still "kid approved", but I can at least make them healthier, right, right? Right. Kids will still enjoy them too (always a

​

​

bonus;).

​

​

​

​

I will use only natural colors & flavors such as: organic strawberries, orangic blueberries, organic spinach (gross? I.

 

 

Think. Not!), tumeric (what!?), real chocolate, & I might experiment with (don't worry, it won't be stuff like bug juice or

​

​

uh, just anything gross.... like that's super gross xP) with some other things as well.... we'll see what happens :)

​

​

​

​

The main thing though is that we will get all of these artificial flavors & colors out of our desserts to make them a bit

 

 

healthier. Possibly you (especially kids) think spinach is gross? When you find out what's in nasty food coloring &

​

​

artifical flavors, you will never be the same! 

​

​

​

​

I will also lead towards the "gluten-free/dairy-free" route for my baked goods. Seems these days, people want to

 

 

enjoy a dark chocolate fudge brownie but can't due to gluten & dairy products that lurk through that delicious piece

​

​

of temptation.

 

 

 

This sounds like a good start to me... what do you think? :)

​

​

 

 

​

Q: Can you sing? If so, what do you do to grow your talent?

​

 

 

A: I love singing! I started out in the Childrens'​ Choir at my church when I was in 2nd grade. I now am an active 

​

​

member in my Youth choir and as a youth cantor. As of September 2017, I have now been in choir all together for

 

 

about 9 years. 

​

​

​

​

 

Q: Have you done sports? If so, which ones?

​

  

 

A: I have done dance (yes, it IS a sport) a lot during my life. Did ballet at age 4, Irish at 8 going through 9, Scottish

 

 

age 10-11, then Irish again at 12. I hope I can start dancing again soon! Other than that, I am really into basketball. I

​

​

*tried* basketball in January 2015 but well.... let's just say that didn't go so well :/ I want to try it again though....

​

​

always can try a 2nd time!

​

​

​

​

​

Q: What does your name mean?

​

​

A: My name, Gemma, means "gemstone", "precious gem", or "jewel". It is pronounced with a "J", so like "Jem-ma"☺

​

​

​

 

Q: What does "Gemtastic Joy!" mean?

 

 

A: Well, I guess I wanted to have something that had to do with "sparkle" or "gems", since that means my name in

​

​

some ways. Plus, I wanted to have "joy" in the title, since that is a big part of how I do my work. So I just thought,

 

 

why not take out the "fan" from "fantastic" & replace it with "gem"? So, there I guess is how it all started. :)

​

​

Q: How old are you & when's your birthday? 

​

​

A: I am 15-years-old & my bday is September 14th! 

​

​

​

Q: How tall are you?

​

​

A: I am approx. 5'7!

​

​

​

​

Q: What are all your hobbies?

​

​

A: Like I mentioned before, I love to draw, paint, cook, bake, sing, dance, and make videos. I also, however, love to 

​

​

write and I hope to write a book someday.

​

​

​

​

​

There you go, some interesting (well maybe) facts about me. Hope you don't think

​

I am too crazy.. ;) lol.

​

​

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

What is My Mission Here on "Gemtastic Joy!"?

​

Before I go, here is some quick info about my website.... 

​

 

 

Here, I will share with you all of my hard-worked-on, homemade art & products (even baked goods for you locals out

 

​

there☺). ​Feel free to email me if you have a custom painting request... I will answer as fast as I can & try my best to

​

​

make it has perfect as possible :) 

​

 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: Prices WILL be negotiable, however, I do wish my large paintings to be sold for no less than $10.

​

​

​

​

 

 

Is This My Main Purpose?

​

​

​

No. It's just a big old "no". Let me tell you the main purpose I am here. 

​

​

 

So the first thing you probably think when you see me is something like,

​

​

​

​

"Oh look, there's a girl trying to sell her paintings, crafts, & products to make a little money & show what she got." 

​

​

​

 

If so, you are....... wrong. Yes, yes, it's that blunt. You. Are. Wrong.

​

​

​

​

Now you may be thinking, yes again,

​

 

 

"Whaaaatt do dah huh!?" Yeah, like seriously.

​

​

​

No, I am not  here to have people glorify me for my work, let's just get that straight. I am here to glorify, through my

 

 

works, the One who made  my gifts possible, the creator of you & I. Yes guys, introducing..... drum roll please..... the One

​

​

& only  One, Jesus Christ! He made everyone's talents, gifts, joys, & even the hairs on your head happen. :)

​

​

 

 

​

Before I get a little deeper, let's just think about this word, "only ", for a minute:

​

​

​

He, Jesus, is the only  One in the world that has given us our beloved talents, gifts, joys, & well, ya know ;) 

​

​

​

He is the only  One that can help us when in desperate need. 

​

​

​

He is the only  One where you can find true  happiness & joy.

​

​

​

He is the only  One that could die on the cross & save us from our sins.

​

 

 

Jesus is the only  One, the only  way, the only  light.

​

​

​

​

​

He has given me the strength & courage to use my gifts & talents to make others happy & help them to see they are

 

 

not  nothing, they are indeed something. Everyone has a purpose & a reason. If we didn't have a purpose, why else

​

​

would we be here? Something to think about anyways... ☺

​

​

​

 

 

​

 

Wow, that was long.... when I said quick, I guess I meant long :P Hope you aren't asleep yet! I know I am sure

 

 

tired. Anyways, that's one whole page about me, my mission, & my master.  I hope it was interesting & not well,

 

 

say boring... ugh.

​

​

​
