Birthday giveaway extravaganza!

28 Comments

Today’s my birthday!

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.

A massive esky of cheese from Ashgrove Cheese in Tasmania! (I’ve been to the farm outside Devenport.) Thank you so much Mum and Dad 🙂 I love cheese as much as life. I needed a drink after the disasters (broken car, lack of shower, broken house phone, forgetting to take my pants to neighbours when I had a shower there…) so I have already sampled some blue cheese with my wine – it’s delicious!

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:

A super cute panda spoon from Bob Boutique:

And a gorgeous necklace by Melbourne designers Oh Deer:

To win a present, all you need to do is leave a comment on this blog entry (leave your email address so I can contact you if you win). If you want to, you can let me know what present you’d prefer. The giveaway ends on 16 December at midnight Australian time. I will draw three winners at random.

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!

  4. Happy birthday!

    I 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. 🙂

  8. Happy birthday Carly! Sounds like an awesome year, and also your parents have EXCELLENT taste. I would so love to get an esky of cheese for my birthday…maybe I should start dropping hints for July next year! Hope 29 is just as fun for you 🙂

  10. 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.

  11. Carly 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).
    Have a drink for me tomorrow night and happy birthday!

  13. Happy Birthday hun! I am actually from Tassie so if you ever need more cheese hit me up lol 😛

    I love the necklace, and double bonus that it is from a Melbourne designer as well, I didn't know that!

  15. Happy Birthday, Carly! Hoping your 29th year brings you all the health and happiness you can wish for!

    The baking set is sooo cute so I'd pick that one.

  19. Happy Birthday Carly!

    I 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

  28. Happy birthday Carly. I've only just discovered your blog via Bern and I'm going to be here for a while moseying around to get to know you. Pop over to my place as I'm having a giveaway too and you just might win a birthday gift! x
