Halfway to 70...

That's right ladies (and gentlemen?). It's Allison here (alienhard), and today I hit the mark of "halfway to 70". Sounds old, no? LOL! I've never been one to get hung up on my age (half the time I can't even remember how old I am... does that happen to anyone else?), so I'm just rolling with it. Unfortunately, I had to work late today, but now I'm enjoying an otherwise empty house while knocking back a few um, beverages. ;)

When Steve and the girls get home, we're getting some take-out hot wings, and I'm settling in for wings, beer, Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, and LOST. It doesn't really get much better than that. This weekend, Steve and I are heading out with a bunch of friends for (more) beverages, some karaoke, and a good time. I can't wait!

But enough about me. Let's talk about some fun you can all participate in. It's time for a birthday challenge! I have to be honest... I still haven't figured out what the challenge is. So I'm literally making this up as I type. Nothing like being spontaneous, right? LOL!

OK. So let's give this a whirl...

Challenge Guidelines

Theme:

Birthday... Run with it. I don't care if you scrap some birthday pictures of your or your kids, your favorite birthday you've had so far, what you plan to do on your next birthday, what three wishes you'd make on your birthday, how the Titanic sank on my brother's birthday (That's true actually... April 14th), etc. Do whatever you'd like, but it HAS to have something to do with birthdays.

Requirements:

  • Must use the birthday theme mentioned above.
  • Must use at least 50% Jen Wilson products.
  • Must contain at least some journaling.

That's it. See? Easy. Pardon me? You want to know what's in it for you? Alrighty then. How about this....

Prizes:

  • 1st Place: $10.00 gift card to Jen's shop.
     
  • 2nd Place: $5.00 gift card to Jen's shop.

Deadline:
This Sunday, May 11th at midnight EST.

And because I'm feeling particularly generous this evening (thank the beverages for that), I will personally buy both winners a Maya Road chipboard album (haven't decided which ones yet). I'm making two really cool hybrid projects using some of their tabbed albums and Jen's digital stuff for my mom and mother-in-law for Mother's Day and I LOVE them. So I'm all about spreading the love. As soon as I finish them, I'll post pictures.

So c'mon ladies! Jump on in and give it a whirl! I'm excited to see your layouts! :)
