first off.... i'm excited about your birthday!! and i can't even believe it's already march!!
secondly... those cupcakes look like tie-dye and are just lovely!!
thirdly... i will gladly enter your birthday giveaway with my favorite birthday story (ahem)...
...me being honest me - my fav birthday was my 16th birthday party - my best girl sharon let me borrow her car to take my drivers license test - i passed by one point - she let me drive her car for the rest of the day - that weekend she threw me the biggest kegger party with all of my high school and older than high school friends there - what made it that much sweeter was that paul had broken up with me on my actual 16th birthday so this party was her way of getting back at him for doing such a shitty thing - all his friends were there too - i know, its totally high school but that party rocked - i ended up finishing the keg with my buddy darren at 430 in the morning smoking cigarettes and watching weird al tv on mtv - good times.
...for those that read this and don't know, i married paul soon after my 18th birthday and we are going to be celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary on 3/13.
(p.s. i'm totally blogging this)....

amazing!!!! happy birthday MONTH! my most awesome birthday ever was the year i had my new kids on the block cake, and my brother gave everyone rides on the tractor. but the best part was my dog cookie ate a goose egg at our lake and promptly threw it up all over the shoes of the girl in my class i hated but had to invite because we only had 6 girls in our class. you know, we all had one of those girls. anyway her white keds were all josie grossie after that. i loved that dog.

Oh this post is quite lovely! Happy early birthday!

Ok, my favorite birthday memory is actually from this past year when I turned 21. Since my birthday was on a very busy day for my family’s business I had to work the whole day, which i didn’t really mind since I had celebrated my birthday the previous day exactly how I wanted to with my boyfriend and lovely friends at my favorite restaurant. Anyways, before I got to work my parent’s secretary had made a sign saying, “Today is my 21st birthday! Wish me happy birthday! Ps I don’t know this sign is here”, and placed it outside, and out of my line of view at my work station.

A few minutes after I had started a little boy standing with his mom and dad looked up at me and said, “happy birthday”. Slightly stumped as to why this little boy would know it was my birthday that day, I decided to brush it off and figured that he probably heard the lady working next to me asking me about what i did for my birthday dinner a few minutes before. However, that little boy was not the only person to wish me a happy birthday. Person after person kept wishing me happy birthday and after about the tenth person my co-worker finally caved in and told me about the sign outside my window.

As a result of the sign I had about five hundred people or more wish me a very happy 21st birthday, and I was also offered numerous alcoholic drinks by people I had never met.

That day really showed me how kind people really can be, as they could have ignored the idea and not said a thing, but most of them didn’t and because of them I will never forget the birthday where I was wished happy birthday more times then I had ever been in my whole life!

SO excited for your 30th birthday and your giveaway!

ah birthdays are so exciting!!

every year on my birthday i go to an awesome concert. it just has become a tradition. it's the only time of the year that i feel okay about treating myself to an "expensive" show. haha. on year it was radiohead - that was my favorite!

i'd have to say my favorite bday was my 21st. my parents took my brother and his friend on a trip when he turned 21 and offered to do the same for me. since my birthday is in may, i opted for just taking the money for a trip and throwing a party. i literally hired a caterer and had a bar set up. yes, it was a little over the top.. BUT it was the best birthday ever!

ps. that dress is beautiful!

Happy Early Birthday!!! My best friend's is the 5th and my nephew's is the 7th, so you must be awesome to be a fellow Pisces.
My fav birthday was my 30th. I was so dreading it b/c it sounded so old and I fetl a lot younger, but my mom and boyfriend threw me a totally rad party. Friends came in from all over the place, I tried sake for the first time, and I got a Kick-A camera. It was a blast!!

Well first off, Happy Birthday Month!
I think my favorite birthday would have to be my 25th. I got to go to New York to see one of my best friends from high school and my boyfriend had surprised me and got me a very awesome lens to use while I was there. I love New York and I think it is one of the more fun places to spend your birthday!
P.S. I hope I win :)
P.S.S that dress is to die for and if it wasn't so expensive I would buy it for you, every girl should have one!

Happy birthday month.

Best birthday, I turned 22 two weeks ago I went home from college on break and my boyfriend blew up 224 balloons by himself no helium, it coated the entire apartment (small place)Then on 22 of them wrote a single letter so I got to search through them and then unscramble the message. He took me out to see a documentary all about the deep ocean (i'm a marine bio major so it meant a lot)and then a really nice restaurant after. After we went out, dressed very warm and watched the stars at a local beach. It was all pretty simple but it meant the most.

Then when I got back to school my wonderful roommate had decorated the entire room with streamers and got two of our favorite muffins and put candles in them in the design of 2 (making 22) and to top it off since we cant have open flames in our dorms she hand cut tiny little flames and glued them to each of the candles.

Hands down my favorite birthday
