Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Today's my 34th birthday!! I'm spending most of the day with my scrapping girls, but my hubs is taking me to dinner tonight. Last night, we celebrated with our dear friends. We went to dinner and came back to our place for gourmet cupcakes and a card game. Guuuuuuuurl, lemme tell you 'bout these cupcakes. They're the best I ever had! (Leanne, if I'd have known about it when you were here, we would have certainly gone. You'd love them.) We received an assortment, so we quartered them so everyone could taste each kind.
Okay, so there WERE 12 cupcakes, but my husband got home early. The cupcakes were screaming at us and I didn't want them to wake the baby, so we split one. This little piece of heaven:

Best cupcake/cake ever!!! That's a light, not-too-sweet cream inside with chocolate mousse on top.
And the birthday gift from our friends that made me cry:


She had craft aprons embroidered with "SummerSault Designs" on them. Is that not the most thoughtful gift? She even put a ladybug button in the middle of the flower, just like on my blog banner. This amazing friend of mine is not a papercrafter, so it means even more that she would put so much thought into it. (She saw that Jennifer McGuire was wearing a craft apron in our picture, so that's how the idea started.)
I told my husband it would be hard for him to top that. He'll give me his present tomorrow night, so we'll see.
Okay, so I got an amazing gift and want to give one of you an amazing gift, too. I'm gonna do a little purge soon, so if you don't mind some partially used goodies, just leave a comment on this post. (I plan to make it a good-sized box, so only those in the U.S. can win. Sorry, but shipping gets pricey.) My little blog had its first birthday last week, too. Oops, I missed it.

I'd love it if you spread the word about my little giveaway. I'll get a picture up of the goods sometime on Sunday. Comments will close on Monday, September 13. The winner MUST email me to claim the prize, so make sure you come back (or follow/subscribe and never miss a post).
