Well, it’s my birthday. 35. That sounds so adultish. It certainly can’t be right. Let’s not even talk about the part that it’s also my 16th anniversary. How did that happen? We’re way too young for that!
When I stepped off the denial train and thought about the last year, I realized that all of you have played a huge part in it. Some of you have been silent, but vital, supporters, continuing to come back again and again to see what I’m up to. Some of you are more outgoing and I recognize your names as you encourage me in blog comments and on social media. And some of you have become true friends. I have either been blessed enough to meet you, or I feel like I have based on our many conversations.
In honor of YOU making my year, I thought I’d do a little shopping and put together a giveaway of fun stuff I love.
My favorite discovery this year has been the LePen’s, so I HAD to giveaway a big pretty set of them. Fun office supplies were also a given, because they are my favorite thing to shop for other than shoes and purses. Since bright fingernails often work their way into my posts, I thought I’d throw in my favorite pink AND a gorgeous coral. Overall, it’s a box that represents ME!
I’ll draw the winner next week!

Happy Birthday Melissa! I found your blog just a few months back and immediately latched on because of the Oklahoma connection. We lived there for 23 years and just moved back to Texas 3 years ago. It’s very sweet of you to have a give away for your birthday. The gift is such a cute idea! I Pinned it to my gift giving board. 🙂
Melissa George says
Thanks so much for pinning and reading Stacey! I love hearing from nearby readers. Hope you didn’t have too much problem with the rain and that you finally have some sunshine like we do. May was rough!

Krista @ the happy housie says
Happy Birthday! I asked myself, when I turned 35, if that was late 30s. I decided it is not. It is only mid-30s. You have a few years left until you are on the “downhill slope”. Great giveaway!
Melissa George says
Yeah! I love that train of thought. I’m feeling younger already – thanks Krista!
Sara says
Happy, happy birthday… I hope it’s the best ever!!
