Today is my birthday. Funny how they come around every year. Normally I am all about birthdays and celebrating and confetti and a whole lot of hoopla...but not this year. And I'm not entirely sure why.
Could it be that whole aging thing? Possibly. I HAVE changed quite a bit! Don't judge!
But instead of getting all melancholy and pensive...I've decided that celebrating is probably JUST the thing I need! Here is where you come in. Are you game?
This week I am giving away FOUR $100 gift certificates to my store. I don't talk about my jewelry designs on the blog too much...but I'm pretty sure you can find something you like! Click ---> here to visit my store!
To make it SUPER easy I've created a rafflecopter widget below. I can set diamonds and play with fire...but I am not very techy...so this is a very big deal for me! Again, don't judge!
Details. Your mandatory entry is to go to my online store and find your favorite thing...today! Then come back here and leave the link! Then of course there are other ways to enter to make your chances even better - some are easy, some are basic, some are just plain stupid. But hey...that's the way I roll! Come back every day this week and tell me your favorite item THAT day...and increase your chances of winning. Not too tough...right?

Happy Birthday Lisa! I love all of your stacking rings - my favorite would be the Recycled Sterling stack.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! At our house, our favorite tradition is breakfast in bed for the birthday boy/girl (even parents!)... Order is placed the day before. You never know - sometimes it's pizza, sometimes it's eggs, sometimes it's just cake! Woo hoo! wscherer@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! A few years ago I purchased your "boyfriend necklace" - the leather with silver bar. I wasn't sure how it'd hold up especially since my guy is a "wear it or else I lose it" type.. but it has done great. We have a LDR and currently going through immigration, but I haven't seen him since November. It's nice that he has that reminder daily. I recently bought another one for my 13yr old son. He knows that his future step-dad has a special necklace. I (and my oldest daughters) also have special necklaces. My son struggles with Aspergers and an anxiety disorder.. AND is starting at a new school. The necklace has "fwd" on it (as a token to our family motto of Forward Progress) and I know he's proud of it. Our family tradition for birthdays is letting the birthday person pick the meal. One year the oldest boy decided we were having a finger food feast for his bday -- popcorn shrimp, little eggrolls, the whole bit. I gotta admit, I prefer when its the girls and they choose sushi. :D bridget@williamsburghomebirth.com
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for giving your faithful followers a chance to splurge on YOUR special day!! Although I love all of your fine things, today I would have to choose your Earth Day Leather Wrap Bracelet.

Our favorite birthday tradition - besides the cake - is that the honoree gets to pick the foods for a special birthday meal.

Favorite Birthday Tradition - The kids always blow out the candles!! lol no matter whose birthday it is, our smaller cousins always blow out the candles on the bithday cake. Its a fun tradition because they feel so special and proud to blow them out as they make their own wishes.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your birthday!!! krisbsea@gmail.com
Happy Birthday, Lisa! Thanks for the chance to win. A favorite tradition I've started with my son is I write him a letter on his birthday and seal it up...I plan to give them to him when he's 18. :-)

Our favorite birthday tradition - for the boys they get to have 4 or 5 friends stay over-night and eat pizza and cake and play video games. For me - I like to take the day and just relax and not cook or clean all day :D

Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI am one of seven kids and on birthdays we try to get as many of the gang rounded up as we can and go to a "favorite" restaurant for dinner. That's one thing I miss terribly now that I live in FL far away from 5 of my siblings. However, my son and I are carrying it on in our own little way.

ReplyDeleteLisa, HAPPY, GLORIOUS Birthday to you!!! You are supposed to be the recipient of gifts not the giver, BUT...since you insist, I would have to say my fave pieces are actually any of those mother bracelets and/or necklaces - except in my case it would have each of my grandchildren's names engraved. I better go back and find the link to at least one of them that I LOVE, but honestly, I saw several.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs, beautiful woman of God.
And here is the link to one of the bracelets I love!

Happy birthday! It's my birthday month too...so let's celebrate all month! One of my favorite birthday traditions is something I do for my boys that I started several years ago. On their birthday I get up early with them and take them out to breakfast wherever they choose before school, alone time with me. Don't know if it's special to them, but it is to me!

My birthday tradition is to go ice skating. My birthday is 5 days before Christmas. I used to do it as a child and now I get to share it with my wonderful husband and 4 children!! :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very blessed year Lisa! Happy Birthday! This piece is reminiscent of the floating heart my husband gave me in Jr High. I love it! https://www.etsy.com/listing/113895440/heart-necklace-large-open-heart-pendant?ref=shop_home_active
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Lisa! I made a birthday banner that hangs in the entryway of our house. I put it up the night before, so when the birthday person wakes up and goes downstairs, it's the first thing they see. It's just fancy letters printed out on cardstock and "laminated" (covered with clear contact paper). I hang the letters by mini-clothespins on a string. It says "happy birthday 'name'". I keep the banner up for a full week, so it's a week of celebrating the birthday person!
ReplyDeleteIt's a relatively new tradition, but my boys love it. Enough that when I celebrated my birthday in Colombia last month, they were sad that I didn't bring the banner with me.
Happy Birthday!!! You are so generous on your special day. Hope you have a wonderful day full of love. I love to make a fuss over the people I love on their birthdays by celebrating the whole week with lots of fun and lots of cake. You have a great talent and I love so many things in your store.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites:

Happy Birthday!!!! We always have a balloon fest! Loads and Loads of Balloons, which we have some helium filled, and others air filled. We always take turns inhaling some helium and saying goofy phrases and then see who can pop the air filled balloons best! Hope yours is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My favorite item 'today' is http://www.studiojewel.com/necklaces/tolkien-quote-necklace

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Lisa! I hope you have a very blessed day filled with love and laughter.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, birthdays... a tradition I liked was pizza, any cake made by my Mom, and thennnnnn MINI GOLF!!! :D
ReplyDeleteSide note: Throughout the year my Mom would bake for other birthdays or just a random time and I'd always say 'Ooooh! I WANT that for MY birthday!!'
Happy birthday!! It's hard to choose just one favorite. Today I chose your necklace Not All Who Wander Are Lost. I hadn't known that was a Tolkien quote. :) Love it!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday once more, health, love and creativity are my wishes
ReplyDeleteI adore your Stacking Birthstone Rings, among so many others :-)

I came back to share my favorite birthday tradition! :) Mine is from my childhood. When I was a kid, I had teeth problems so the rule was I had to avoid all sugary sweets. For my birthday, instead of a normal cake I had a homemade ice cream cake, just ice cream pushed into a cake pan really, but it was fun to make together. My mom rationalized that ice cream has more calcium than cake so it was a better option...not sure if that would hold up with the dentist, but it worked for us. ;) It made me feel special!

It's to difficult to pick just one! :)
ReplyDeleteI am also a September birthday. I look forward every year to seeing what cake my kids pick out for me- they go to Meijer bakery (the best if you aren't getting homemade), and pick out the cake that has the most frosting and flowers. One year I got Tinkerbell, the next was Nemo. My son likes frosting as much as I do, and on my birthday, I get the most roses!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your earrings right now, because I just chopped off my hair and dyed it blonde for the first time in forever, and I think short hair needs long earrings!
