Birthday Week x 3

This week is what is referred to in our house as, "Birthday Week". My two girls and myself all have a birthday a day apart. My youngest daughter's birth date is the 19th, my oldest birth date is the 20th and mine is the 21st... how about that for a busy birthday week! Just imagine how hectic birthday week was when the girls were younger and wanted birthday parties... Now the girls are older, they just pick a day to celebrate our birthdays all together. This year we are celebrating our 17th, 22nd and *whisper* 42nd, with a brunch at our house on Sunday with our closest family members and friends - Can't wait!

In honor of our birthdays, I'm giving away one of my favourite gifts I like to get as well as give.  It's a little goodie package of my favourite bath products from Lush.  Also, who can enjoy a luxurious bath without some delicious smelling candles from Clair de Lune.

If you want a chance to win, all you have to do is leave a comment telling me how you like to celebrate your birthday. All followers of Slightly Off-Center will get a second entry  (just be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry).  I will randomly choose a winner one week from today on November 25th.  Good luck everyone and can't wait to read through all your comments!

(No global restrictions. Must be 18 years or older. Contest winner will be chosen using BuzzMyBlog Contest Winner Picker)

Congratulations to #13: auntrene (OH-IO)! who has won the Cheers to One Year! giveaway. I used random.org to choose the winning random number. auntrene, I will be emailing you shortly and remember, I need to hear back within 48 hours after I send the email out, or another winner will be chosen.

auntrene said... I would use this wonderful mood board to showcase some of my most prized possessions. Everything from pictures of the kiddos, made by the kiddos, scraps of leaves the kiddos bring inside for me to keep, I can think of so many things to place on this wonderful board.

Thanks you to all who participated in my Birthday Giveaway! It was so much fun to read all of your inspirational ideas for a Mood Board.

Here are some of the things you all said you would put on your own Mood Board:

• Favorite maternity pictures and our first family picture after my DD's birth. Pictures of my favorite knitting to inspire me to makes some of my own designs.
• Fountain pen, a squirt of hubby's aftershave and a 2 rand not a fortune teller gave me about 20 years ago.
• Photos, favorite pages photocopied from books, ticket stubs to concerts.
• Photos of sunsets and the ocean, my kids growing up.
• Well-used guitar strings, my retirement notice, A picture of Earth to remind me of perspective and to keep me grounded, a photo of my paternal grandmother, who I didn't know but who inspires me anyway.
• Patterns I want to knit, postcards, bits of leaves and bark I've collected, recipes, and quotes.
• Personal notes I've received, quotes which move me, and other ephemera that makes me happy.
• Favorite poems, exercise goals, and kid's activities.
• Inspirational quotes, including the infamous 'Just Do It', some pics of people who inspire me, some pics of people i love and some goals.
• Pictures from the resort for my honeymoon, a picture of my wedding dress.
• Pictures of my family and pictures of my favorite movies, actors.
• Gardening pics that inspire me and quotes and bible verses.
• Showcase some of my most prized possessions. Everything from pictures of the kiddos, made by the kiddos, scraps of leaves the kiddos bring inside for me to keep.
• Pics of my sons and of course Oliver (my dog) on my mood board, this would lift my spirits.
• Fun color combos I find in magazines, the latest inspiring product I picked up and something wonderful that makes me smile every day!
• Sunflower or two. A few fav photos. Inspirational fortune cookie "fortunes".
  
• Anything that would keep me in a positive frame of mind and focused on all of my blessings.
• Pictures i find that are inspiring to making my art.
• A small version of an elephant footprint that I got from a zoo, photo of my son, a picture of my Wish sleeping (dog), a newspaper article about the weather featuring husband, a feather (to fly away if needed), a button to press to play a song, and a key to my heart.
• Daily quotes and pictures on it. They are just nice to have hanging around.Pictures of the places I go that make me feel calm and peaceful, trinkets that I hold dear in my heart from loved ones who have passed, list of things I want to do.
• Things that are only "mine" - in other words, hopefully no grocery or chore lists! I would tack up random pictures that appealed to me.
• Favorite photos and inspirational quotes. Also possibly snippets of my favorite colors and magazine articles.
