It's My Party!

10 days from today I'll be 40 ... and i feel like celebrating ... by having my very own give-a-way! between now and the 29th I'll be putting together lil goodie bags ... a little of this, a little of that ... maybe one of those, too ... and then, sometime on the 29th I'll put everyone's name in a hat and will let my awesome-critter pull out a name or two (or three or four) ... hehe ... I'm excited just thinking about it! If you'd like your name in the hat, please leave a comment ... share a favorite birthday memory or gift ... share a joke ... tell a story ... or just say, "I'm in" ... feel free to let you friends know it's a party, after all, so EVERYONE is welcome!

Cheers! ~M~

A party!! I'm in. One of my favorite gifts came from my ex-husband! The year we were married he gave me a box, beautifully wrapped, containing a dime and a "T" pin. After seeing my confusion he explained that it was a dime-and-pin (diamond pin)!! I still laugh about it.

yippee and happy birthday ... my dad always says that when you TURN whatever age, it means you actually are finishing that year ...when you turn 1? you just finished year 1 .... so turning 40? no big deal, you just finished your 40th year ...... it gives the years that end in nine a new twist!

My two favorite birthdays of late were my 40th and my 50th. On my 40th, I threw a party at my brother's house and invited all my friends from all parts of my life. It was fun to see them interact.

On my 50th, I tortured my friends into going to Vegas with me to see Cirque du Soleil's Love, which was every bit as amazing as I'd hoped it would be :-)

Put my name in the hat, please :-)

I love a party! For my 50th, my husband suggested that people bring me 50 of something as a gift. It was great fun--nothing extravagant...50 jelly beans, 50 die cuts, 50 marbles from my sister (was she saying I lost mine?), a CD with 50 of my favorite songs, etc.

I'm so glad thay y'all decided to come out and play! Such GREAT company!

the "dime-and-pin" and "50 things" are both such a hoot ... I just might have to use them myself! I soooo wish I had been on the invite list to see Cirque du Soleil's Love ... I'll just have to imagine how amazing it was. :)

Happy (almost) birthday!!! Oh, I LOVE birthdays!

And I think you will LOVE your 40s! I sure do! However, my mom tells me that she loved her 50s even better...and she LOVES her 60s...so I guess it will just get better and better from here on out!
