Happy Birthday, Dad!!

 

my amazing dad and me in the mountains

Just wanted to pop in an wish my wonderful father a happy birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad!!! I hope you have an amazing day! I love you!!

Speaking of my dad's birthday, a few years back I made my dad a "party in a box" (paper cut outs of an entire birthday party scene) and mailed it to him a week before his birthday. (This is when we lived in Atlanta so it only had to travel 2.5 hours to my parents.) Trying to help the failing postal service, I opted to use them instead of my FedEx go to. That was over 3 years ago and the box still hasn't arrived at my parents house. Birthday Fail.  Good thing I took a picture of it so my dad knew it actually existed and I didn't pull a whole "wait, my card didn't come yet? How weird..."

So THIS year, I went with my gut and sent it via Fed Ex. Let's hope they don't accidentally misplace a package! (They have just under an hour left to meet their delivery time line so I still have hope.)

A birthday discount for you

Today is my lovely husband's 29th birthday so in celebration of that, I decided to offer a discount to the shop. Starting today and running through next Monday at midnight, just type in "Jordans29" as the coupon code and you'll get 29% off anything in the store (the coupon doesn't apply to custom paintings, though feel free to ask politely and maybe I'll just have to through in free shipping on custom pieces.) So pretty much, if you were thinking of gifting a painting to yourself or maybe someone else for Christmas (or just because) now's the time to lock it down because I rarely offer anything about 20% off. (And by rarely, I mean pretty much never. Maybe our 30th anniversary I'll offer 30% off or something. We'll see in 25 years!)

Speaking of my husband though... he is officially in his last year of his twenties and I can honestly say each year has been even better than the last. I couldn't have picked a better best friend and husband if I tried. I could go on and on about how great he is, but honestly there just aren't enough words to describe how wonderful I think he is. So that said, Happy Birthday, sweetheart! Let's go celebrate with ice cream cake.*

*as if there is any better cake to celebrate with

craving: mosser moss (and a special happy birthday)

For someone who kills almost every plant she buys (my basil plant is going on one month! Go ahead and put that in the "W" column for me) this little moss ball is right up my alley.

Also, I want to take a second and wish my wonderful dad a happy birthday! So, Happy Birthday! I hope it's a fantastic one. I love you so much!

Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

special thanks to his grandmother for this jewel of a photo

Happy 28th birthday to the boy who taught me what it means to truly love someone. I hope today is just as amazing as you!

Good Design: Anthro Birthday Card

The Anthro team amazes me every year, and this year doesn't disappoint. I especially love the little clock and the pop of orange and the corners.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Just wanted to take a moment to wish one of my closest friends a very, very happy birthday. You not only taught me to tie my shoes and helped me find hidden Easter eggs, but also to follow my heart and believe in myself. I hope you have a wonderful day (and hope that the USPS doesn't loose your card. Again.) I love you, Daddy! Happy Birthday!

Almost forgot!
