A few days ago, I was going through all the "treasures" that my kids brought home on the last day of school and I stumbled across Abbey's writing journal. I sat in the floor and read every single entry. Some made me laugh out loud but all of them made me smile.
Thought I'd share this one with you since today is MY BIRTHDAY!!! (Sorry, my photography skills are lacking. Click on the picture to enlarge it if you want to read what she wrote).
(She guessed correctly...I'm 39 today!)
Because no party is complete without presents, I'm offering you a chance to win something today! My college friend, Renae, makes adorable customized buckets. Click here to visit her Etsy shop. If you see something you like, or if you have an idea of something you'd like her to make, come back and leave me a comment and I'll enter you in the drawing! If you win, you'll get to customize the item of your choice!
I'll leave comments open until 10pm MST Sunday night (May 31) and I'll use a random method to draw a winner on Monday morning. One comment per person, please. You don't have to have a blog to enter, but you MUST leave me some way to contact you.
Happy Birthday Meredith!! have an awesome day........

ReplyDeletei could use a bucket for brynne's toys (aka: tess). she doesn't have her own toy bucket. aren't you sad for her?
Happy Birthday, Meredith! I'm only a few months behind you :) I pray you have a wonderful day today!
ReplyDeleteOk I'm back on the RIGHT day this time - Happy Birthday! I hope you are having a fabulous day and that your hubby and kids are spoiling you a little bit! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour friend has an awesome Etsy shop! I'm going to have to bookmark her and keep these in mind for future gifts for my friends' kids...
I love the personalized princess one - Savannah is on a huge princess kick right now, so it would be perfect. Thank you so much!!
Happy Birthday!!! They are all adorable ... I would probably pick one that is pink and girly for our house - and hope that my girls let me keep it! :)
ReplyDeleteMer,
ReplyDeleteSo fun--happy birthday!
The buckets are really cute--I would get a bright pink one with Natalie's name on it to hold shoes or toys. Thanks for the giveaway!
I hope it's a wonderful day! How did we ever get old enough to be in our 30's???
ReplyDeleteI like the teacher buckets or maybe a toy bucket for Miles!
ReplyDeleteI guess correctly! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete39 is the new 29 you know!!!
Cute buckets..I like the pink ice bucket! I'd put ice cubes in it, and then chill my diet cherry coke in style. :)
Have a great birthday and wonderful weekend in beautiful Colorado. I'll enjoy Michigan.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHoly Buckets!!
...I think I need the airplane bucket for toys in the boys room...so there's that many more places to hold endless amounts of junk!
:)
Happy Birthday, friend! The buckets are cute! If I win, I'd like the rectangle bucket to hold my makeup.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday...again today. I hope it is a very good day full of excitement and wonder.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYour friend is so talented, the buckets are adorable. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you had the best day. And didn't cook.
ReplyDeleteI think I would get a family one -- really cute!!
I've wished you happy birthday a couple of other places but not here! So happy birthday one more time today! I love all of Renae's stuff. I love the ice bucket especially!
ReplyDeleteHappy 39th, Mer!! Have a great birthday! (:
ReplyDeleteThe buckets are cute!
Happy Birthday Mer!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute buckets/containers. I would love to win one for my daughter's room. I am redoing it this summer, but boy would that be cute on the dresser. :) Thanks!!
Happy Birthday, Amiga!
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about adorable fonts and all things personalized, so you must know that I am hoping to be the WINNAH! These are so cute, I will probably buy some anyway ;)
Happy belated bday my friend. I just did not make it online much yesterday. But I thought of you all day. Praying, too.
ReplyDeleteLurve to be included. I like the ovals and rectangles, and I'd probably make it a catch all for my car, e.g. mail, coupons, cell phone. Just so I could organize myself a little bit better.
Hey, Meredith! Happy 39th Birthday! I'm about a month behind you--39 on 6/23! :) Your friend's etsy shop has such cute stuff. Those buckets look like they'd be great for carrying soccer snacks. I like the ice bucket too! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletewell, I'm glad I have twitter since I'm so behind on my commenting (I've been reading)...and I could "sing" you a song over there!
ReplyDeletehope your day was fabulous and I think those those buckets are fabo, too. I like the one with handles to cart stuff in and out of Minnie with...
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
Hope you had a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI've been praying for you.
I love the cute pink bucket with the flowers! Would love to get this for my little girl!! Very cute!

Happy day after your birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI stopped by yesterday but lost my interenet connection just as I was leaving my comment........
Sorry!~
So I love all of those buckets, but if I had to choose, I would pick a personalized ice bucket or the Happy Birthday bucket.
Soooo cute!
Hope you had a day full of blessings!
Happy Belated birthday! Hope your day was fun and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteGotta say her buckets are too cute, I could decide which one I liked the best:0)
Happy Birthday, friend! Hope your weekend was super!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! I love the buckets. We sell at a Farmers Market and this would be perfect for cold drinks.
ReplyDeleteLisa Q
Happy Birthday to you...2 days later...but Happy Birthday to you! You are 10 years younger than me!
ReplyDeleteThose buckets are great! I love the bright colors and there would be so many uses for them!
Hiya! I'm sliding this in just in the nick of time. I hope you're relishing the last hours of a fun birthday weekend!
ReplyDeleteFun buckets! I think I'd either pick a red ice bucket for my patio table or a blue bucket with Brody's name for his room. Fun!
Hope your birthday was lots of fun! The journal entry was precious.
ReplyDeleteI had been checking out Renae's stuff, and I love it all! I think an bucket with a G on it would just be too cute outside by our pool! :)
The buckets are so cute! The princess one would be loved in this house!
ReplyDeleteThese would work great to sit on my daughter's desk and hold art supplies. I may have to order a couple.
Love the buckets! I would do a green ice bucket w/ a big C (Chocolate) on it to hold our dog toys. But I would also love to do buckets w/ each of my family members first initial to put on a shelf in the entry/coat area to hold all the "stuff" that needs to be shed as we walk in the door!
