Birthday Extravaganza Giveaway!

Today is my birthday and I'm the big 2-6! In honor of my mother birthing me on this day, March the 11th, I'd like to give one of you dear readers a package of some of my favorite things.

I really appreciate all of your support and love that you've shown me through your kind e-mails and comments. I truly feel like I have a wonderful community of friends that I could talk to as if we were out for lunch. Thanks for being my friend. Thanks for reading about my life, and the weird posts that I write. It is because of you that I am motivated to start projects (and finish them), try new recipes, make fun things, and accomplish goals. I owe you a big THANK YOU.


On that note, I really wish that I could send each one of you a nice, pretty package filled with the finer things in life. BUT, I can send a package out to one Coterie reader. This package will contain some of my favorite little things. It will be a surprise for the winner...like a birthday package! After the package is sent and received I will show you what I put in it! I promise it'll be good.

Here's how to enter:

-Leave a comment here, a birthday wish would be nice (jk), but any comment will do. (If your comment doesn't link back to a way of contacting you, please leave your e-mail address, otherwise your comment will be discarded)
-You may enter a second/third/fourth time by tweeting/blogging/facebooking/about it with a link back here. You can also get an extra entry for subscribing to The Coterie (see the "subscribe to" button in the left column). Make sure to leave a separate comment here for each extra entry.
-This giveaway ends TONIGHT at midnight and the winner will be announced tomorrow, Friday, March 12th!

-Good luck!

I wish I could be like you--you are so amazing and talented and fun! I hope you have an amazing, wonderful birthday!
