A BIT ABOUT ME…

My name is Kim Byers. My family and I live in the deep south and I love it. I was raised in Alabama, moved to Texas in college, then back to Alabama, then to Mississippi, then Tennessee, (whew) before resting in Columbus Ohio for 17 years in my 20s and 30s. (The hubby was raised in Ohio.) ☺️

We have two boys, both avid runners. In my spare time I help assistant coach our school’s cross country and track and field teams. We won the Cross Country state championship in 2020 (woo hoo) and we’re hoping to do it again in 2021. Running and the outdoors are a huge part of our lives. So forgive me now for all the running SVGs. 💕

As for my professional background, I have my bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Mississippi State University, and my master’s in Marketing from Otterbein College of Ohio. I worked in the finance industry with JPMorgan for more than 10 years. It was a wonderful career, but there was not a great deal of latitude for moms. So as many others have done. I tossed in the corporate towel and started my own thing.

Here at The Celebration Shoppe you can expect video tutorials. The more I make video, the better I like making them. It’s so much easier to explain how to create a craft over video. You’ll also find my SVG and printable designs. Most I give to my email subscribers for the first week and then they are moved into my Etsy shop.

You’ll also find links to craft products and services that I recommend. My promise to you is that I will never recommend a product that I don’t believe in. My affiliate links, one of the most important ways that I make money and keep the coffee pot working, do not cost you a dime. The retailer pays me to bring you to them. Your price is not affected and actually, most times, they even let me share discounts with you. If you ever have a question about an affiliate link, all you have to do is ask.

If you’ve not already, please sign up for my free weekly newsletter. It’s the best way for you to stay connected with me and to get FREE STUFF. 🤣🥰
