I've had one party already, and will have some more celebrations - breakfast with some of my wonderful colleagues before work this morning, drinks on Friday night, and dinner plus Bon Jovi concert on Saturday. I am such a lucky girl.Yesterday afternoon I came home to a myriad of disasters, but I also had an early present from Mum and Dad waiting for me.
28 has been the best age! Freelance writing opportunities, TV presenting, radio interviews, great friends, a little romance, being onstage with Bob Evans and meeting Callan Mulvey twice, and only one stay in hospital for a short six hours. 29 better be this good or I am staying 28 forever.
To celebrate my birthday with you, I am giving away three presents! I love giving away presents!
A little baking set:
There is also a special series commencing on this blog tomorrow. It's all because it's my and the blog's birthday week!
The series is called Enough about me, let's talk about YOU for a minute. I hope you love it as much as I do - it was fun and inspiring to compile.
If it's your birthday today too, happy birthday to you!
Happy, Happy BIrthday Carly!
ReplyDeleteIt has been such a blessed year for us all.
Lots of love

ReplyDeleteI know what I want for my birthday next year: that esky of Ashgrove cheese! Visiting that place was one of the highlights of my Tassie trip earlier this year. Awesome cheese + painted cows = WIN.
I hope you have a fantastic day today. :)
Happy Birthday Carly!

Happy Birthday Carly. You're so generous to be giving presents away on your birthday, you should be getting lots of presents. Glad to hear that you had a lovely present waiting for you after such a tough day. It's nice to be able to finish a tough day with a bit of relaxation to recharge the batteries and get rid of some stress.
ReplyDeleteCarly I am sure being 29 will be just as great for you as 28 was (if not better). You are such a positive and lovely person, more good things are sure to come your way. I know we barely know each other but I am so glad I was there to be able to share one of your special happenings (Bob).
ReplyDeleteHave a drink for me tomorrow night and happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Carly!

Hip hip hooray ... Happy birthday Carly!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Carly! Deathly jealous of your cheese stash — so many layers of absolute awesome.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Carly!
ReplyDeleteI love the Panda Spoon! It’s uber cute! I’ve fallen in love with Panda’s ever since watching the ‘Never Say No to Panda’ ad that has been doing the rounds on YouTube.
I actually saw someone doing a photo-shoot in Union Lane the other day with someone dressed as a Panda, and I was so tempted to ask for a photo but was too shy... haha
Happy birthday carly!!! I choose the necklace by oh deer! Hope you had a great day, Melody (jellybean_mello@hotmail.com)

ReplyDeleteI love the way your parents think!
Cheese is the best thing ever.
