Just letting you know that this post will appear at the top of the blog until after Wednesday for the giveaway. Please scroll down for newer blog posts!
Hello everyone! Sorry I am running late with this, but my daughter has been throwing up all day this is the first chance I have had to post it. :)
Anyway, today I am 39. I just entered the last year of my 30's, and to celebrate I am giving away a $39 gift certificate to my shop. All you have to do to be entered to win is to leave me a comment, telling me either your favorite birthday memory or your favorite birthday gift you ever received. (I'm assuming your memory will not include a throwing up teenager, right? LOL, but then as Mom's I bet you've all had a birthday like that too)
Ok, so leave me a comment, and next Wednesday (the 16th) I'll draw a name and let you know wins!
Hope your weekend is wonderful!
Cerri xoxo
(PS, take a look below for the new summer shop update. I also had a couple people ask about June's play pack, and they will be available a little later in the month. I'm still gathering some things for a VERY fun play pack that I think you will love!)
Happy Birthday Cerri!
What a sweet giveaway! My best birthday was my 19th birthday. I was in the hospital having just given birth to my first child.

My favorite B-Day memory was my 16th birthday. All my friends took me to a fancy tea shop where we drank tea and had cake. Last but not least all the girls had the cute guy I had a crush on come sing to me. It was just really a great year.

Happy birthday to you! One of my favorite b-day memories was for my 12th. I had a slumber party in the backyard and we "slept" in a tent and laughed and talked all night.

Happy birthday, Cerri!
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she feels much better soon.
Let's see... favorite birthday? One year, my husband and I spent a romantic weekend in San Diego together, and we walked along the beach after dinner. I liked that!

Happy Birthday! Don't worry about it, I turned 40 last June and I think it was the best year of my life!
One of my favorite birthdays was 2 years ago. My son was 2 & daughter was 5. We took them to "Story Book Land" near Atlantic City, NJ. It was the perfect day. Cool and breezy. The amusement park was so cute and CLEAN. Since it was geared towards little kids, it was very family oriented and pleasant. It was just a very nice day with my family.
Hope your daughter feels better soon.

On my 30th birthday my parents & brothers arranged for a dozen long-stemmed red roses to be delivered to me. Later I dried the petals and placed them in a special lidded glass jar. Over 15 years later they still have some of their scent! (Now everyone can tell how old I am. LOL)
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday !! Enjoy your Special Day and hope your daughter gets better real soon. My happiest Birthday was when my two daughters were in college and gave me a little plastic angel flower holder from the $1 store. I was so moved because I thought they were so strapped for cash they didn't want to forget my birthday!

What I wouldn't give to be 39 again! Every birthday now is my favorite because it means that I'm still here, making art and loving my wonderful grandchildren.

Oh! Happy Birthday! :0)
How fun! My fave bday memory was having my first surprise birthday party thrown for me by my friends my first year in college....ps - I ended up marrying one of them. ;)

happy birthday! what a generous way to celebrate! :) my favorite birthday memory was my 12th birthday. my parents put together games that resembled a messy kids' game show where we played games like fishing for gummy worms in a bowl of whip cream (with our mouths!) and shaving balloons with shaving cream!

Happiest of birthdays!
My favorite memory...hm...I think it was when I turned 11 and got some stickers (my thing than ;)).

Happy Happy Birthday to you Sweet Cerri. My favorite birthday gift was a white camisole and matching panties I received on my 30th birthday. The entire top of the cami was embroidered with stunning pink beaded flowers.
Although it doesn't fit any longer, I still cannot part with it because it is so beautiful. I take it out every now and again and just look at how pretty it is and how much I enjoyed wearing it when I was a youngster.
Have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday Child!
I am 61 and I love every year I've lived. I think my favorite age was 40...I really started to just be myself and not what everyone's elses expectations for me were. Enjoy your birthday and have that second piece of cake!
Posted by: Joyce | June 11, 2010 at 11:55 PM
What a sweet birthday girl image - she looks like YOU! Hope you were able to find some time to celebrate (in between your daughter's throwing up). My favorite birthday gifts are from my daughter. She is creative and always finds something either handmade or something she has made herself to give me as a gift.
Big birthday hugs my friend!

My favorite b-day party was my 50th. My husband gave me a party with my favorite friends. It was a special night with fun decorations, candy on the tables from my childhood and the best people all around me. I always say I am the Queen the whole month, July, but that night I think I was!!! So a very happy birthday to you, and enjoy being Queen.

Happy Happy Birthday!! What a special one, hope you have a wonderful time celebrating!! One of my fondest Birthday memories was a "Cabbage Patch Kid" themed party, I turned 7 and I had all my friends over. I think I may have gotten a Cyndi Lauper casette tape...oh am I dating myself??

Despite the throwing up teenager, I hope you had a happy birthday.
I think my favourite childhood birthday gift was a 'Cindy' doll!!

Happy Birthday Cerri! I hope your sweet daughter is better. I will be celebrating one in July and my favorite remberence was having an ice cream cake every year--unlike the other kids :) Mom did it even when I moved to college--I believe I was 21 before those yummy cakes stopped. Hmm, maybe I should indulge this year. To think I was pregnant at 39 with little D! Yikes-she is in rare 2.5yr old form lately ;) LOVE your new items.

Best birthday present ever was my 29th birthday. The day before I gave birth to my precious daughter.
Posted by: Catherine Wegner | June 12, 2010 at 08:01 AM
Oh there is a nasty bug out there right now - hope that it passes quickly.
My best b-day present was a locket with photos of our sons. Still wear it all the time.
