Happy, happy day to you, friends!
In honor of my upcoming birthday along with my son's
{yes, we share the same birthday}
I am hosting a giveaway.
I love birthdays and I love giving gifts
so what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway!
You, dear readers and friends, are ever so special to me
and I greatly appreciate the time you take to visit
and comment on the posts I share.
You bless and encourage me with your love and kindness
and now I want to do the same for you.
This lovely little giveaway consists of a few of my favorite things
that I hope one of you blessed winners will enjoy.
Let's take a peek at the goodies up for grabs, shall we. . .
As you know, I love tea cups
so I am giving away this pretty Royal Albert tea cup
that is just perfect for the spring with its soft colors.
The matching bracelet is also part of the giveaway.
You will find three tea towels included
along with matching napkins
and a cute spoon holder.
Of course tea is a must to go along with the tea cup
Here we have organic Raspberry Earl, Egyptian Mint,
Ambrosia Plum, and Italian Chamomile.
This darling little box is part of the givaway
and it can be used for holding your tea
or whatever your heart desires.
And speaking of hearts,
the soft blue heart is also included.
Next up are these incredibly sweet tea cup molds with matching saucers.
You can make cupcakes, brownies, and other tasty treats in these molds.
And of course you'll need a wooden spoon
for mixing up whatever you put into the molds.
And last, but certainly not least. . .
a fabric zippered pouch made with lots of love.
All of this loveliness could be yours!

sharing a special birthday memory.
That's it!
And yes, this giveaway is open to everyone around the world.
And since you will be sharing birthday memories
I will share a special one as well. . .
as I mentioned my son was born on my birthday and oh, what a sweet gift!
Believe it or not my mom and I shared the same due date
which was March 27th and we were both 6 days late.
We also had the same doctor.
Dr. Petrie was my doctor when I was born
and he was also there for my son's birth.
And come to find out while I was in labor the nurse
was also the same nurse that I had when I was born - what are the odds!
And finally, my son was born in the very same hospital that I was born in.
I find it rather unique and only of the Lord.
The night before my birthday my parents took my husband and I out for supper.
It was a joyous occasion as we sat around the table and enjoyed our time together.
The very next morning, April 2, 2008
{my 22nd birthday}
I awoke to contractions.
I smiled to myself. . .it was time.
I walked out to the living room to tell my husband the contractions were closer together
and he smiled along with me.
He was incredibly calm through it all.
I told him I wanted to shower before leaving so I did
and then we headed to the hospital.
We stopped at Wendy's on the way and grabbed breakfast.
Yes, I ate too - HA!
Everything went smoothly, no problems at all,
and about 7 hours later my son was born
and placed on my chest.
Oh, it was love at first sight!
He was a precious baby and one that didn't fuss much,
but rather smiled constantly.
He slept a lot and began sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old.
What a miracle. . .what a gift!
I am going to take a teeny tiny blogging break so for the next two weeks
I will be around, but I won't be posting any new content.
