Happy Birthday to Me + a giveaway! :)

Thursday, March 19, 2009

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me!!! Yup, I turn 27 today (oh my....) 3 years till the big 3. As usual around this time of the year I'm stressed out that i'm getting older, and as per usual my dear mother always says "everyone is growing older with you, if everyone is getting younger & you're the only one getting older THEN you should worry". *lol*

She never fails to provide me with a good chuckle, i love that woman! :)

So on this special day of the year for me, I would just like to say that I feel so blessed & so grateful for God and all the wonderful friends & family that surrounds me. Here's a random quote that i came across; so true!

'Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy'

Which brings me back to my favourite quote 'Contentment is the greatest wealth'! Cupcakes make me feel contented, what about you? *grinz*

Here's a Birthday card share that I've been storing up especially for today!

I had great fun making this card!! (isn't it mostly the reason why we create?) I stamped the bottom of the cupcakes on cardstock vellum & then the top of the cupcakes onto patterned paper. Then I cut the cake parts out & paper pieced them on the vellum. I hope you likey! :)

And here's the close up:

Ah, so how about a giveaway !?? I'll be giving away this brand new Melissa Frances stampset to 1 of you. Just leave me a comment on this post, tell me what you're grateful for & I'll randomly pick a winner :) and to make it cup cakey sweetyer, i'm throwing in some of my cards!

It's so nice to share some goodness on my birthday!

I'm heading off for dinner with family tonight at one of my favourite restaurants @ Robertson Quay, looking forward to that!!

Ah , and yes Foie gras makes me feel contented too *lol*

Have a great day!!
