Happy Birthday to me!

ETA this post will remain at the top for one week (December 5th) scroll down to see the new stuff.

Well today is my birthday. So what am I going to do? I hope to spend much of the day in my jammies and in my craft room. Danica is like me and likes to sort and organize so she wants to help me do my craft room (it is an absolute disaster!). What a nice thought for her to want to do that - funny thing it was her suggestion which show how messy my room is! LOL
Now I just got the Spring CTMH catalogues here (available January 1st) and I have to say, happy birthday, christmas.... to me. On December 1st my order is going to be a biggie! Wow some fantabulous stuff coming out - CTMH just keeps getting better and better!

I think I will offer a small blog candy in honor of my birthday. Not sure what yet, maybe once I clean I'll find something. hehehe. To be entered I would like to hear what is your best birthday ever. Also post a link on your blog telling others about the candy and link back here letting me know. I will leave this open for one week, so you have until December 5th to get your entry in. I can't wait to hear all about it. For me, I just love that Danica wants to get in and clean with me.

Here is the Birthday Blog Candy:

Savannah O'Gwynn said...

Happy BIRTHDAY:) Hoooooray for you! Hope it the best ever!

As for my bdays....I really don't like to be the center of attention or talk about my birthday (it isn't about my age....I just don't like it when people tell me over and over for weeks that their bday is coming up)....and I cannot remember ever having a bday party....so anyway....the only thing I remember about one birthday (and this is because of photos)....was that my brother (only 9 at the time) bought me a Care Bear...and to show appreciation I shook his hand! How silly of me!

Happy bday:)

Summer Braxton said...

Happy Birthday!! And best wishes for many many more.
My best birthday moment was my 30th. My sister threw me a surprise party, and even though I found out about it, I had no idea about the old friends she had invited. A wonderful surprise!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Laurel!!!!!!! How sweet of you to offer up some candy on your birthday!! The fondest memory of a birthday I have occured when I was 7. It was a surprise birthday from my dad who I only saw about twice a year AND I received a gerbil as ny gift! I was soooo excited, however my mom was so not impressed, she knew nothing about it!!!

Hmmm...fell onto your site. But since I'm still celebrating my 51-and-how-the-hell-did-I-get-here birthday, allow me to celebrate your birthday as well.

Let me send you a gift: the link to a cover-to-cover read of my book...no strings attached, really! (I know, hard to believe these days :-)

Happy Happy birthday!!! Hope it was wonderful spending it in your jammies. That sounds like a great day to me! Maybe I'll make that my best birthday next year! Mine are usually boring, my favorite kind!

Congrats on the Schlosser Design team spot! Can't wait to work with you.

Leah l'Orange said...

best birthday ever? one that i've had, or my DREAM birthday? well for my dream birthday, i can imagine some sort of awesome crafty shopping spree and spending it going a little crazy in a store or doing online shopping... sky's the limit! but best i can remember is a whole other story! ;) getting really upset because i got crappy birthday presents (i was 11, i believe), then being called downstairs after moping in my room, to find a shiny new 10-speed bike waiting for me, and dad waiting to take me clothes shopping, then to dinner. WOOT! (still doesn't compare to the crafties, now!)

hope it was absolutely FABULOUS, dahlink! how did you spend it (besides CTMH shopping)? :)

Wenonah said...

Happy Birthday!!! It's the same day as my husband's!

My best birthday, I would have to say was when I turned 21 and a friend set up this big surprise party for me at the college (I had attended for 2 yrs but wasn't in that semester) I thought it was a simple homecoming date but no, he gathered up all my friends from various groups I associated with and surprised me good!

Eulanda said...

Wow you are really geting all sorts of rave reviews hey?!! GOOD FOR YOU!! Oh also, Happy Birthday!! Thanks for the offer for blog candy. I've posted it on the r/h sidebar of my blog.

serena said...

Savitri said...

Happy belated bday!!!! Hope it was a great one! Hmmm, my best birthday... ok, I think it was a few years ago when hubby got me my first digital SLR camera and he took me out to a nice dinner. He was so thoughtful and the gifts were totally unexpected because they were what I wanted but oh so expensive.

Carla said...

Happy belated birthday!! Hope it was great . . . my best birthday ever is easy - - on my 25th birthday my husband & I got engaged!

Isabel Z said...

Happy birthday, Laurel, from one December birthday girl to another. My best birthday was when my girlfriends took time away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations to take me out to lunch. It was such a nice thoughful surprise. I hope your day is special:-)

Tamara Limestahl said...

My best bday ever was finding out I was pregnant (with twins!!) after trying to get preg for 3 yrs. And it happened the old fashion way. It was great! Now my babies are almost 4! ;)
