Celebrating My Birthday: Giveaway!

Yesterday I had a fantastic day celebrating my 36th birthday. Spent the day helping in my daughter's first grade class, went to Zumba at the gym, lunch with friends & some family at Essence Bakery and dinner with family at Joe's Farm Grill.

One of my most crafty friends wrapped my gift with a brown paper bag that she had cut into strips. Isn't it so cute and clever? Plus I love the rolled paper candles on the card. Thought you'd enjoy seeing her creative wrapping!


My super talented baking sister, Michelle, created my requested cookie tower in lieu of cake.


The chocolate chip cookies were some of the very best that I've ever had. The recipe came from this Baked cookbook. The cookie stand was found a few years ago at Melrose Vintage in Phoenix. (Love that place!)

Okay, enough about me!  Let's do a giveaway. The Scrapbook Circle The Good Life Kit was so fun to work with, I want to share one with one of you. Here's a look at what I've create with the kit so far:

  4. Happy birthday! It sounds like you had a lovely day. Those cookies look magnificent.

    All growing up (and some years now that I suppose I have to consider myself "grown up"), we went to Myrtle Beach, SC each year. It was always such a blast. But really, I just love going anywhere (near or far) with Husband!

    Thanks for the giveaway!
