STS Birthday Celebration!

Today is my day to "host" the STS birthday party!

First up, let me introduce myself to you all "formally"

 I am Christin.. duh ;) .. and I am a Stay @ Home Mommy. I love all things creative. Sewing, cooking and of course scrapping are my top 3. I have been designing for about 3 years, and was super excited when Nicole of Stuff to Scrap offered me a permanent spot on the STS design team in November of 2010. 

I am married to my High School sweetheart, Jeremy. We started dating in 1996, and have basically been inseparable since. He is in the US Air Force and we are stationed @ Fairchild, AFB WA. We are from Washington state, so we are very happy to be where we are. Fingers crossed no orders come down anytime soon!! ;)

We have 2 children. Our son, Jae is 8 and Kylee is 3. As a family we love hanging out, outside. Camping, 4x4, ORV, hiking, biking, swimming... anything that gets us out of the house and making memories. :)

Next, I will answer a question from the STS Birthday Punch bowl.
"Has anyone ever done anything extra special for you on your birthday?"

For my 23rd birthday, my hubby's co-worker took me out for the day. She took me on a shopping spree and told me to buy anything I wanted! LOL, Im such a thrifty shopper, she got off lucky! A pair of jeans and a top for only $40. Then we went out to lunch @ Famous Dave's BBQ. It was nice to get out and pamper myself, daddy stayed with Jae who @ the time was only 3. 

I can't decide what was better, the food and outfit or being able to eat my food and shop without a antsy toddler touching everything. ;)

In a comment below, you answer the same question:  
"Has anyone ever done anything extra special for you on your birthday?"

Its my Birthday!

(Sale begins 10/28)

Wow, 28 already?! Seems like yesterday I was turning 16. I threw the biggest party any of my friends had ever seen. There was a live band in my backyard, and we counted over 100 people! That was the best birthday party ever. Since then, birthdays have been low key. Just spending it with my family, and now that I'm a Mommy, I love being able to have a birthday celebration with my kiddos. They make it even more special.

And this year, since I am designing for a store, I am so excited to celebrate this extra special birthday with the digi world! This year is my "golden birthday" Turning your age on the day you are born only happens 1 time in your life and is said to be lucky! And you are definitely lucky today!
