they say it’s (kind of) your birthday

Published by at 7:58 am under me

Today is my pseudo Birthday. I’m a Leap Year Baby, born Feruary 29th. So today and tomorrow are the days my Grandma used to tell me were my birthday on the years inbetween Leap Years. Indeed she spoiled me as I was her only Granddaughter. And I admit it, it was fun! I have kept the philosopy that either day is legit to have birthday cake and spoil myself (although I do prefer to keep it in February). I figure any excuse for fun is a good excuse. *wink*

I thought it would be fun to have a little Q&A. Feel free to post any questions you may have for me. They don’t have to be stamping realated! I’ll answer as many as I can over the next few days.

To make it fun for you, too, I’ve decided to go Hobbit for my birthday and I’ll pick some names from those submitting questions and send them a fun BRAK (Birthday RAK) from me! I’ll leave the question submitting up until tomorrow, since my Grandma would have told me that it’s my birthday tomorrow, too!

Until then, eat some cake for me – or if you’re near a Marie Calendar’s, pie is acceptable, too! It’s the last day of their February pie sale today, so I’m going to go and pick my favorite for us to have for dessert tonight!

    Here are some Q’s for you. Do you have a favourite chocolate and non-chocolate muffin/cupcake recipe? I know it’s not yet here, but do you have any favourite Easter dessert/baked goodies recipes?

    Are there any new pretty papers (ie patterned papers) out there for which you are excited?

    Love your use of Just Johanna stamps, btw! I hope you have a blessed day!

    Happy Birthday! I am definitely going to have some cake, just for you! 😉 I have an interesting question… when you had each of your boys, how did you tell your husband you were pregnant? Was he there with you and you found out together? Did you do something cute to tell your friends/family? How did you guys tell your parents?

    Happy birthday – I too have two “birthdays” a year (one is my real birthday and the other is the day on which my parents adopted me).

    My question for you is what is your favorite stamping technique and why?

    What scrapping or stamping presents did you get for your birthday — or any presents, if you want to share!

  14. Jackie says:

    Happy Birthday to you! So, if your birthday is on Feb 29 and it only comes around every 4 years, technically speaking, how old are you? And how old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

  15. sparkskraps says:

    Hope all your birthday wishes come true!

    My question: How did Biggest Kitty become part of your family?

  22. My question is….. Where can I get those fantastic scooby snacks? they have been on my mind since the mini mania. I have to have a scooby snack. LOL No, really, where can I get them?

  23. Janet says:

    Happy Birthday- how very cool you are a leap year baby!

    Do you have an art training background? How do you work on being a better artist/crafter? Do you just create and play ? How do you improve?

    I am loving my new hobby – stamping — but I guess I tend to “book-learn.” I need help developing creativity… It is great that you were crafting since you were young and your parents were instrumental in that.

    You’re obviously a busy girl. What do you do when you’re stressed? (I throw ice cubes outside when I’m REALLY mad…its a physical release, like kicking something without anything, or me getting hurt.) What do YOU do when you get stressed? Talk it out? Need alone time? Bake? Stamp? If it was bake, I wish you lived near me, baking actually stresses me. Hope you have a great birthday. Cheers to Grandma!

    What started you on stamping and blogging?

  31. marcie says:

    Happy Birthday! So here is my not stamping-related question: Have you picked up any new Wii games lately? We just have the sports package that came with the system and I don’t know which game to get next.

  32. Jeanette says:

    Cookies, cake, cupcakes or all of the above? PS: happy birthday (:

  33. Lisa H says:

    What’s the most memorable birthday you’ve had and what made it so?

  34. Elaine says:

    You have the same bday as my niece!! Happy Belated!! 🙂

  35. Dale Anne says:

    HAPPY Belated BIRTHDAY!
    Hope YOUR day was the BESTEST ever!!!

  36. Sarah Jay says:

    Happy belated birthday from a fellow leap day baby!

    So, Grandma’s advice aside, which day do you generally consider your birthday on non-leap years? And I don’t know about you, but I’d like to celebrate all three next year. 😉
