Birthdays and Giveaways

Yesterday was my birthday.

And my friend Aimee gave me these daffodils that made me smile on a gloomy, rainy, January day.

Yes, we already saw this show. But this time it is different. This time Billie Joe Armstrong is in the show. I. am. so. excited.

A quick trip to NYC with just my sweetie 🙂

In honor of my birthday, I am gonna do a giveaway.

These camera sleeves are so much fun- because there is no reason to have a boring black strap around your neck, no reason at all.
