Contestant Data
Name: Denise Dennstedt
Hometown: Circle Pines, MN

As far back as I can remember I have been fascinated by stained glass. I took a beginners class in Coon Rapids, MN about five years ago and have been hooked ever since. I am a hobbyist who works on projects in my home whenever I can get a spare moment.

The first gift I made was an angel for my sister-in-law, when she opened it she had tears in her eyes ( I think because she liked it?) I do sell some of my things at local craft shows, churches & schools during the fall. The biggest project I have made was a kitchen cabinet door, 12" x 28." I am married and have three daughters, who by the way, encouraged me to enter this contest. I am a day care provider in my home and I love cats, mine is named Jinx.
