And I begin to give myself everything I fancy..
My birthday is a couple weeks away but I started celebrating already.
What do I give to my self, that has everything?
First some jewels from Susan of Sulu Designs. How Gorgeous these are! Her Original Intent posts are some of my favorites...
She spoiled me a bit and I just couldn't be more thrilled. (One pair of these is for my sister...But the rest are Mine! All Mine!!!!) And thanks Susan!
(I might add that her new Portland digs are "sponge-worthy"... Design Sponge, that is!)
Also I downloaded a new CD from Lily Allen, because I saw this video
and I was smitten with the ska and the sass. The lyrics on the album are "parental advisory worthy" but boy, can the pretty girl sing.
Off I go to stitch up some goodies, hopefully cross off a few clingers to the Craft Guilt List and get ready to milk this celebration for all it's worth.
Starting on Monday, I am handing out Party Favors.
The first one will go to some one who wears a size 8 shoe...
Cinderella, Are You Out There?

ReplyDeleteHey - I have a birthday coming up, too! Yay October girls! Great idea - start celebrating early- and keep celebrating. i like the sound of that!
ReplyDeleteoh hooray! happy almost-birthday. i'm a huge believer in celebrating for the entire month surrounding your birthday. so bring on the fancy and pamper yourself silly!
ReplyDeleteI'm an 8 I'm an 8 LOLOL
ReplyDeleteOh, and I bought that CD several months ago, and I must agree, it's so so SO FUN, parental advisory and all LOL ;)
Darn it, I'm an 8 1/2 since having children.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend. My guilt list is overflowing.
Cheers!

I'm cracking up over your spongeworthy quote. That one will go down in blogger history I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteCute earrings too, plus I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who uses my own birthday as an excuse to shop.
Happy birthday season! I love Lily Allen,Kate Nash too! Wish I wore a size 8...
ReplyDeleteLIve it up!!!
I just bought a pair of earrings from Susan too... lol. Love the pairs you picked out!
ReplyDeleteYay for long birthday celebrations (happy, early bday btw!)!! Oh goodness... I'm a size 8 and those shoes are really cute. :D
Have a lovely weekend!
my birthday isn't until january. *sigh* i am a size eight, though...
ReplyDeleteI'm an 8...as long as thats an 8 in English sizes:)What a wonderful month to have a birthday in. Happy birthday for when it happens, may the sun shine and the birds sing happy songs for you on the day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel you on the Lily Allen love. She's marvelous.
My birthday isn't January, but I do wear a 8 (shoe, that is) and since I'm only 5'1 this isn't a fact I normally put out for the world to see! I love Lily with her hoops and hair...Happy soon to be a birthday month!
ReplyDeleteYay, fellow size eights!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday season! I fully believe that birthdays should be celebrated all month, and maybe into the next month if you've got more celebrating to do.
Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteDamn my size 9s!!
Good for you for celebrating early! We all need to feel a little special sometimes. Those shoes are C*U*T*E!! Wish I wore an 8. dangit. Those earings are lovely...I'm off to check out the designer and what she has for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to celebrate your birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love Lily Allen. Her style, her sound, everything. Thanks for sharing this video! :D
ReplyDeletenot an 8, have large hoof. not fair!
ReplyDeletehappy early celebrating! it made me think of a time we were away on the island we like to stay on and michael was in town working. i bought myself a gift in case he didn't have time (boy was i so right!) and when i opened it my girlfriend who was with us said i was to say 'oh its gorgeous, i shouldn't have!!!!!'

Happy Birthday! How great to start celebrating a bit early and keep the fun rolling.
ReplyDeleteOh, my what pretty earrings from Sulu designs!
Looking for someone who wears size 8 shoes? Toss my name in, please.
So happy that I can fit a size 8, too! I think I'm in love with the ballet shoe style that's so popular right now! Love that floral pattern on them!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday in advance - spoil yourself!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yippeeee! Early Birthday celebrations are the best!!!!! xoxooxox Hope you find a cinderelly for that fab show!! Oh, and I adore Miss Sulu!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly that's an awesome shoe!
ReplyDeleteOh good for you! There is nothing like celebrating your birthday (and the best gifts come from oneself I think) I like that you're doing it a couple weeks ahead...I usually only do the week...I may have to adjust that! I wear a size 8 shoe too...went down a whole shoe size when I lost weight (yeah. cause' that's where I needed to loose a size!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Great earrings, I bookmarked the page and may nudge my hubbie to it for xmas pressies...
ReplyDeleteI love Lily Allen, I got her album last Christmas, every song is great and catchy!
I'm all smiles that I got to be part of your early birthday celebration. I am an October baby, too, and since I believe in celebrating one's birthday month (I used to believe in celebrating one's birthday week, but I hated restricting the fun to just seven days) I'm going to being my festivities today, too. Thanks for the mention, and enjoy the birthday love!
ReplyDeleteI wear a size 8! And I have a girl crush on you.....I went and bought Lily Allen from itunes after reading your blog today. I was looking at your etsy shop and just love it as well. Happy Birthday!
