Hello and Happy Friday!

Hi there! My name is Christina and I am delighted to be able to indroduce myself as one of the newest Tulip Girls.

In all the world, there is nothing I love so much as playing with photos, paper, paint, and all the other nifty things that are a part of scrapbooking. Well... maybe blogging, and drinking coffee, and wearing cute shoes, but really that's about it. :D

I've always been considered a little bit artistic, and a little bit quirky. In high school my favorite classes were photography and pottery. I doodled on all of my book covers and spent many hours creating 'zines and working on the school newspaper. I used to art journal on the bus and write (bad) poetry.

After my first big vacation after graduation (a trip to New York) I made my first scrapbook using nothing but photos, magazine pages and trip memorabilia. My only adhesive was scotch tape. I really loved the process as much as the end result. So, I was absolutely ecstatic when I found out later that there was a whole hobby (with associated tools and pretty papers) just waiting for me to play with. I have to say though, the thing I love most about scrapbooking is the friends I have made and how I am able to document my life and be creative in such a personal way.

Besides scrapping and drinking way too much coffee, I love photography and have recently become an avid camera collector (we are talking 30+ at this point, most of which I do actually use... I know, crazy!).

I live in Seattle (land of coffee) and work for Starbucks (are you seeing a trend here?). I live with my cute boyfriend Greg. We have been dating for almost ten years. I don't have any pets, but I do have a coffee tree plant named Bob. He is almost four years old. He is the only plant I have ever kept alive for so long and I am quite proud of him.

Thank you for stopping by the blog and reading a little bit about me and the other fantastic girls on this team. Have a GREAT day!
