Better To Give Than Receive Giveaway
Today is my birthday - I am 37. You see, I think women have this lying about their age thing all wrong. I think you should go up, not down. That way people will think you look really good for your age. That is what is is all about right - looking good for your age? So if a 32 year old woman with just a few fine lines around her eyes and an occasional gray hair says she is 37, you would probably think - wow, I want her face cream.
So, here I am 37 (ahem) receiving lots and wanting to give something away. How about a felted purse? I have two and you can pick one: pink, or red. Both are about 8 1/2" wide, 5 1/2" tall and 3" deep. Leave a comment on this post from now until Sunday evening and I'll use one of those random number generator thingies (yes, that is the technical term) and announce the winner Monday morning.
What will it be? This pink one:

Happy bithday to you, Happy bithday to you, Happy birthday, dear Heather, Happy birthday to you!!!!!!! Can you just hear me singing that to you?? I hope you have a great day, and did you make yourself one of those gorgeous cakes you are famous for?? Probably not. Baking yourself a cake AND giving others a gift on your birthday, does not a relaxing birthday make!!
Wishing you a wonderful birthday...my 37th is just around the corner, too!!

Whoa, I've gotten a bit behind on your blog I see. But what a wonderful day to have come back for a visit! Happy birthday. You do look good!
Thanks for the secret to looking younger, I never thought of that. I dread the thought of saying I am 45 when I am really 40, but hey, I think I'll try it!
I love your felt bag, that is SO adorable! How thoughtful of you to give something away on your special day.
Now go do something special for yourself!

Happy Birthday! I'm delurking to get into your drawing for those gorgeous bags! Hope you do something fun today!

Have a great one girlie!
Happy Birthday! I think you look great for 37!
I personally think I look jaw droppingly good for 48! ;)
Have a Happy Happy!

That may be one of the hardest decisions I would ever have to make! Happy Birthday to you girlfriend. I will be 37 in December and I have to tell you, I'm proud of it. I get better with age! ;)
Happy Birthday! Mine is this Monday, I'll be 47 but I still feel 37. Those bags are so beautiful...count me in on your wonderful giveaway!
First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Second, I'm feeling pretty lucky. I never win at these things, but that red purse is winking at me so I think it knows it wants to come live at my house. So enter me in your sweet wonderful giveaway (and I can assure you, I'll be changing those adjectives should you do the unthinkable and not choose me!). lol
But - realistically speaking (is that even spelled right?), I never actually win anything, no matter how lucky I'm feeling so I think I'll advertise your giveaway just to make it harder on everyone else, too. Yeah, I'm all about upping the competition. lol
Kari
Happy Birthday!!!!
Happy birthday! I rushed over from Kari's just to say that!
Oh - and I like the pink bag! :-D
How nice of you to do a giveaway.
I'm here from Kari's blog to say:
Happy Birthday to you!
:)
Heather...
Happy, Happy Birthday! And I am with you on the whole age thing....I have ALWAYS thought it would work better if you gave an older age than you really were or are...for the same REASON! Yes....women have been doing this wrong for centuries...we must lie about our age...but in the opposite fashion...so I say...Three Cheers for that idea...and for your birthday...and a great big CHEER for those fabulous bags...I love them both...I'm like Kari...however, and am bitten by the "usually never win anything" bug...so I am going to mention my sons name and my husbands name here...because they always WIN...after all...I'm Marcus' mom...so instantly that makes him a winner...and I am Clay's wife...how much of a bigger winner could that make him...lol...see how I snuck those in there and was able to shamelessly compliment myself in the meantime...that talent comes with being 50...and YES that is my real age...so I'll say I'm 54 and you'll all think I look FAB!!
Blessings...and again Have a Happy DAY!!

Happy Birthday Dear H!!!
Love that Pink ... Happy Happy Birthday.
Well, Happy Birthday! My niece, Kari at Living Large says we should drop in, so here I am. I am known for being a bit early with birthday wishes, so this is a first for me, late in the evening of the day...many many more, my dear...
happy birthday to you! I agree, I say yell our age and yell it out loud! Beats the alternative and we're so much smarter now, don't you think?
I hope your day if full of wrapping paper and cake!
Enjoy!
Oh, if I were to win......IF......RED!
Kari sent me over...and I'm glad she did:-) Happy Birthday to you! I'll be 50 in October and being told I'll be half a century old is NOT helping! lol Please enter my name in your giveaway, both the purses are so lovely!!! xox
Happy Birthday! What fun! a giveaway on your birthday. Those bags are adorable...I think I would choose the red one!!!
Posey
YAY! HAppy Birthday! and thanks for alerting me....my head in the sand (or clouds) as usual!...I Have missed your blog! Looks like lots of fabulous things happening...except of course for your bad day.....don't worry, you weren't whining...I've been there many times myself, and wish I could have handled it with such grace!......oh well....
can't wait to try those fish tacos!
or maybe that butternut recipe YUM!
as always..so fun to come visit you!
xoxo

You are too sweet to do a giveaway for YOUR BD! Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear heart! I am so with you on this age thing. I have always said that you need to ADD years when asked your age. I am almost 51 but gee. If I say 55 or 60 people would say, WOW! You don't look a day over 51! *laugh*
Oh well...it is so true. I jnew a lady that alwasy said she was 5-10 years younger than she was...and, sad to say, she did not look her age...she looked mch older. Peopl always asked me (quietly) if she had been ill...she never learned!
But 37 is a great age! Old enough to know the score and be all grown up and adult but young enough to feel and look amazing! And darlin', you look mahvelous...
Oh, if I win, the red one is so mine! So there Kari! *grin*
Hope your day was glorious!
Hugs,
Sue
happy happy birthday - mine in next week and it owuld be awesome to win the purse for my birthday!

Happy Birthday!
Kari sent me over to tell you. I love your idea of telling everyone you are older, I may steal it!
I feel the same way about my age. But then again I am only 30. Maybe that will change in a few years.
Happy birthday! The 19th is also my son's birthday. Yes, It is a good day!
Happiest birthday wishes to you Heather. I hope you had a wonderful day filled with lots of laughter with those you love.
You are offering such a generous giveaway. What a sweetie you are!!
Cheers, Cammy
I think that those purses are the cutest things I have EVER seen! Love the pink and the red! Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday. When you are in your 40's, people are even nicer with the compliments. Both bags are beautiful. Very talented!
