maybe you missed the news, but it's almost my birthday. hip hip hooray! presents, balloons, another candle on the cake... it's going to be great. but, i've always been taught that it is better to give than to receive. so, with that in mind, i'm throwing a month-long birthday celebration, here on the blog. each week i will be hosting a giveaway featuring some of my favorite things. & at the very tip top of that list is personalized stationary. let's face it... in this day & age, the art of a handwritten note is quickly fading away - it's so much easier to send an email or text message. but nothing gives me a bigger thrill than spying an envelope in the pile of mail, with my name addressed on the front, in an actual, real, live person's handwriting, instead the usual computer generated bills i get. that being said, this week's giveaway is featuring a grab bag chock full of some of my favorite designs from swanky paper, personalized just for you! i'll be the first to admit that i'm a bit biased, because the designer, heather, is a good friend of mine. but seriously, i LOVE all of her designs. they are fun, vibrant & actually make me want to sit down & write someone a card. but, i guess i better pick out a couple of favorites, otherwise, i may be shipping one lucky winner a truckload of personalized stationary... so take a gander at heather's cute shop & check out all of her designs. seriously, you'll be ready to order cards for yourself, your mom, your neighbor & even your aunt mabel - they are that cute!
so here are the rules of the game:
* you have until midnight PST on monday, june 9th to enter.
* simply make a comment on this post to enter.
* anyone can enter (so tell your friends), although anonymous comments will be ignored unless accompanied by an email address.
* please, just one entry per person.
* the winner will be randomly picked & announced tuesday.

Happy upcoming Birthday, Kelly!
Sweet prize! I'd love to win this! Thank you so much for the chance!! :)
bunnybox9 at gmail . com
I would love to enter your giveaway. She has some fantastic designs.
Happy Birthday!
I love to send hand written notes... this is just my luck!
I love pretty paper and personalized stationery.
One of my favorite things too.
I am on my way to go check Heather's designs out. Just judging from the cards on your post... I am going to have a difficult time choosing.
Thanks for the chance to win and for the link to her site.
I love good mail...both sending it and receiving it!
Happy Happy Birthday! Wish we could go celebrate with hot chocolate at a nice little coffee house :)
Happy Birthday!
This paper is to die for, so yum!
Happy Happy Birthday!
I'd love to be entered in your giveaway. I won't be able to participate in the SWAP though I really would like to. There are post workers strikes going on here and postal situation got really messy, I haven't seen a postman for more than a week and post offices are closed or there is one person to deal with all irritated clients.Since post workers have taken the chance to participate in the SWAP away from me, I'd really appreciate it if you counted me in for this giveaway. So please, please, count me in...
Happy upcoming birthday!
Oh fun!! Paper, Cards, ribbons and gifts...what more could make a girl happy..
Happy early Birthday!!!
~Tiffany

Happy Birthmonth, Kelly!
What a sweet way to celebrate!
Oooh, I would LOVE to win this. I adore pretty paper.
When is your birthday? Mine is the 20th. Happy birthday to us :)
I have saved a lot of my hand written notes over the years and I am so glad. An email thankyou just gets read and trashed, but hand written cards live forever.
i love handwritten letters!
I love that someone else out there loves stationary! I was just in the bathroom thinking about what I wanted to put in my "favorite things swap" basket and I thought of stationary! I love it and it is a dying art form! :0(
Hi Kelly! Happy Birthday!
I'd love to have a chance at winning! I love those happy notes in the mail too!

These would be great to have since I'm a teacher!!
Happy Birthday Kelly! :)
Thanks for the chance for this prize...I LOVE that the designs are all named after candy...how adorable is that?!
A great idea and a fun giveaway. Thanks for thinking of us on your birthday...
Your birthday and we get the gifts...fabulous !!
You miss, truly are a special person. What a beautiful gesture :)
There is a great site I came across recently where a lady set herself a task to give a gift to someone every day for a week - from a flower, to a chocolate, to a small knick knack, and you've inspired me to follow both your leads.
Happy birthday, eat drink and be merry ok?! You deserve it! x
I noticed she had notecards with Queen's Annes lace flowers - one of my favorite wildflowers.
Happy soon to be birthday!
How generous of you to think of us when it is YOUR b-day. Thanks!
What a generous birthday girl you are!
I love how you choose to celebrate!
hope you have a wonderful birthmonth! what a great giveaway!
Happy Birthday! So nice of you to give away presents for your birthday! Love those notecards... so cute.

I totally agree about getting handwritten mail versus bills. What can beat that?!
Thanks for the chance!
My friend just introduced me to your blog! Love it! And, Happy Birthday to you! Love your cards!
Pick me, pick me, pick me! One of my New Year's resolutions was to write a "real" letter a week. With this stationary, I just might redeem myself!
I can honestly say Im good about sending snail-mail cuz I know everyone loves to receive it. With these, my notes would be NIFTY instead of just NICE!
Oooh, I love stationery. Always have. I would spend foreve as a kid looking and touching everything in the local stationery store.
hope I win. I love her designs.
What a fun idea! I don't know how you find the time with two kids, a swap, a business, and now this. Sounds like fun! I'm in!
