birthday challenge!

i just had a birthday

{as you all know}

and i just want to honestly, honestly say,

bad economy = awesome gifts!

and i am not joking!

there isn't anything i love more, than a gift that has thought in it.

and 99% of the time

it's gunna cost you less money.

i received so many wonderful gifts for my birthday from my sweet friends

and family, but since i couldn't take pictures of some of them,

here are a few that i could.

*my two new favorite home decor books!

{thanks to my mother-in-law and sweet friend amy ;}

*my awesome milk glass!!!

{from my wonderful husband!}

*and a new "old" book for my vintage book collection!

{carly....your awesome! and a much better person than me...you know what i mean! ;}

click picture to see

so with all of that being said...

i am giving you my,

"birthday challenge"

here are the rules:

1. you have to get a gift for someone under $10

{preferably from a thrift store...you will score more points with me ;}

2. it has to be thoughtful and meaningful to that person

{examples above}

3. it doesn't have to be for a birthday, it can just be a random act of kindness ;}

4. then write to me and tell me why you got "such in such" for "so in so"

and how it made them feel.

{please include detailed description of there reaction, i am a "reaction" giver ;}

5. include a picture of it with your e-mail to me.

6. lastly, see that side bar to the right?...see where it say's "followers"?

add yourself.

{i would like to see who's reading ;}

*of course if your already there, no need to worry ;}

what do you get?

{well, technically you shouldn't "give" anything, to "get" something...}

but!

i will be picking a winner,

and

it will be something vintage and awesome

{most likely under $10 ;}

from my own personal vintage collection!

it's a win win. you make someone happy, and you feel happy.

and even if you don't get picked, you will still feel good about your

kind, inexpensive gesture ;}

i will give you....

a month.

now go!

p.s. i will read each individual e-mail {none of this "picking at random" crap ;}

xoxo
