PIRATE SITES!

Attention: Wendy's Forum is a PIRATE site, and they are distributing my scrap kit, Birthday Wishes there illegally. I thank all of you who respect my TOU and are grateful for my freebies, but things like this really, really aggravate me! I have also been made aware there are at least 2 other sites distributing this kit as well. :|

Since posting a notice to remove my kit from her forum I have recieved this message from Wendy herself, 

"I completely removed the scraps board with all those topics and posts.. as I notice that I can't control what members post so I removed all..
Wendy"

 Thank you Wendy, that is the RIGHT thing to do and all of us in the digi-community appreciate it!! 

 

 

Still awaiting acknowledgment from these sites:

"Hi Christin, We are happy when receive your report. Your product was removed on our site!!! You can check it.

As far as Im concerned they are still pirate sites.

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?"

And now a little present for you!
