Happy Birthday to me!
I'm celebrating turning 43 - notice the wax candle forest that that many candles makes on my lovely, lovely lemon birthday cake - with a great giveaway!
If you haven't met Shelley at House of Smiths, you are in for a huge treat. I love her blog, I love her house, and I love her. She's cute, fun, and I can just see her smile in her posts.
Isn't she cute?

Her blog is full of beautiful home decor on a budget with awesome tutorials to achieve her gorgeous look!

Gorgeous, right? Shelley also creates beautiful vinyl, which you can check out on her other blog, Wonderfully Wordy.

In honor of my birthday, we are giving away a Welcome to TWO lucky readers! Check these lovely styles out:
