Golden Birthday Bash

A Golden Birthday is celebrated when you turn the same age as the numerical date of your birthday. So, if you were born on the 2nd, like my hubby, then your Golden Birthday occurs when you turn 2. I am one of those people who has to wait the absolute longest. My birthday falls on August 31st, and because I am turning 31 this year, I finally get to celebrate my Golden Birthday!

I thought it would be fun to celebrate with you :). Here's what I have planned:

My shop is on sale for 31% off during the whole month of August! Use code GOLDEN31.

I'll be sharing my 31 favorite flowers from the shop on Facebook, one each day. Place an order and you will find the flower of the day in your package for free :).

I know it's my birthday, but I have a present for one of you! How would you like a box filled with 31of my favorite scrappy things? Simply comment on this post with the following that applies to you:

♥ follow the blog
♥ be a Facebook fan
♥ pin a Precocious Paper project on Pinterest - label with Precocious Paper
♥ tweet or Facebook about my Golden Birthday Bash
♥ post a Precocious Paper project to the Facebook wall

Good luck and thanks for celebrating with me! Tessa
