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!)
Wishing you a most delightful day!!! I hope your daughter is feeling fine again in no time.
My best birthday present was a gift certificate for crafting supplies!

Happy Birthday! I'm actually turning 30 in August so I'm finishing out my 20's right now! My favorite birthday memory was when I was a teenager my parents took me to the World Trade Center. Now mind you, I'm deathly afraid of heights so at the time it was the worst birthday ever. But looking back I'm so grateful that I ever had the chance to be inside those buildings and to have looked out upon the amazing view they had.

Happy Birthday!!! my favorite birthday was some years ago when my daughter was about 12 and was playing the violin...she had asked her teacher how to play "happy birthday" on the violin and surprised me with a solo concert in the livingroom with that sweet little tune...

Happy Belated Birthday!
I believe that my favorite birthday memory has to be a simple beach trip that we took to Assateague. In early September the air was beginning to cool a little, yet we could still touch our toes in the ocean waves. The ponies were on the beach one evening, and after stamping and neighing in a herd, began to thunder past us, sand and water flying. It was one of the most magical moments of my life, and truly a breathtaking birthday weekend memory.

Happy Birthday Cerri!
Hope your lil angel is feelin better soon!
One of my favorite birthdays was my 30th!
I was having a hard time with turning 30 and asked hubby to take the day off work and stay with me but he would'nt so I was hurt and decided then I am going to work to at least be with my friends! He showed up at my job place later in a limo with the kids and a dozen roses and took me to dinner and then he and the kids went home and my friends and I went bar hopping in the limo!
It turned out wonderful!
Enjoy your day!
Hugz, Dolly

My most favorite memory is when I had a sleepover for my birthday. Typical girls...staying up all night, eating, dressing up, giggling, eating some more, listening to records. Fun! Fun!
Happy Birthday to you! Hope it is a most special one!
Hugs,
Rebecca

Aughh! I hope your daughter feels better! Happy happy 39!! Enjoy your day to the fullest! My fav bday gift is when my 9 year old daughter made me breakfast in bed -frozen waffles ;) - and gave me 15 minute back massage (although, I didn't make her go for the full 15 minutes). Children make bday sooo much more special!

my favorite birthday memory is from my mother's 50th. we children decided to have a pig roast and mom and i were left in charge- we had never done this before( or since). but, the fire got too hot, the pig dropped off the spit and into the coals and the tree we were under cought fire. i ran for the garden hose and the length was too short and i landed on my but.we looked like lucy and ethel, ended up having a great time and the tree still stands! we have many many great laughs about this now- just as mom said we would.

Happy birthday. I was hoping to be your 39th comment. My best birthday present was my nephew born on the same day. We send each other goofy birthday cards. He is 16!

Happy Birthday, and I hope your daughter gets well soon! I turned 56 in March, and every year my birthday is "the best". I love hearing from friends and family and being remembered or appreciated. Can't really pin down a favorite memory, but a standout is when I was 14 and my parents, brother and I all dressed up and went out to dinner AT A RESTAURANT, which was a big thing for us kids. LOL. Still remember what I wore..... Love your shop to pieces!! Hugs, Cathy

Oh, sorry about your little one. Hope she's much better soon and Happy Birthday to you!! I'm soon going to have the last of my 40's. YIKES! Thanks so much for celebrating in such a generous way by offering this giveaway. One of my memories, was that I used to hate getting my picture taken, so I would always hide when I saw a camera coming my way. Silly, eh?!

OoOOooo! A Very, Very HAPPY BIRTHDAY for yesterday!!!!! Really hope you managed to have a lovely day!
My favorite birthday experience was when I was 5 years old and I had a FAIRY birthday party. It was held in an enchanted room, where all my friends and I sat on mushroom stools, played fairy games and ate fairy bread.
The hostess dress was dressed in a flamboyant velvet fairy costume and we all got to dress up too!
I had a marvelous birthday cake which was the type that had a lovely doll and a cake dress...
It was a charmed and enchanted birthday which made a child’s fantasy come true!!
