44. And a giveaway.

(The stand in this photo is a vintage silver fork...a lovely birthday gift from my dear friend Chris.)

I'm planning to spend the day crossing things off my to-do list that have been on there far too long (and that may mean actually doing them, or it may mean letting go of them).  Tomorrow I'm hoping to tidy my incredibly messy studio, which could become your gain:  leave a comment today or tomorrow and you'll be entered to win a set of 10 notecards and 10 gift tags:

Cards are printed with raised red ink on white sparkly paper.

In your comment, I would be so grateful if you could share the titles of a few songs on your favorite playlist.  (Can you guess one item on my to-do list?)

Hi and happy birthday! On my playlist... Duffy, and also Amy Winehouse's "Rehab." Not sure why I love that song so much. Maybe it's the "no, no, no" which I can sing along with, loudly.

[amelia]

Happy Birthday!

I've just added "I like it" by Enrique Iglesias and "all good things (come to an end)" by Nelly Furtardo to my playlist, but I always come back to "hey soul sister" by Train, and "little lion man" from Mumford & sons in times of desperation.

[melissa]

Happy Birthday a day late! I am just so behind in my blog readings, it is crazy.

Hope you had a wonderful day.
One of my favorite songs right now is You and Me, by Dave Matthews. It really just speaks to me right now...I think it might have something to do with Todd and I celebrating 10 years in a few weeks...can you believe it!

[Sugar Dog]

I Heart Da Kitty!

[Mer Manson]

Very Happy Birthday!
Lyrics to live by (I do):
In time you'll see that some things
travel faster than light
In time you'll recognize
that love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things
that haven't happened yet
Neil Finn--Faster Than Light

[Anne]

Anne
