June Birthday Girls & Announcements!

Happy June! I am incredibly excited about this month. I just have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to be a good month. How about you?

It's time to wish a very Happy Birthday to our June birthday girls! I hope your day, heck, your entire birthday month makes you feel sparkly. How are you celebrating this month?

Doesn't that churro cupcake look divine? My knees go weak for anything with cinnamon and sugar. YUM!

Ok, so, now for a few announcements.

I know that some of you are waiting with bated breath for the club to open back up again. So here's the deal. I have decided to pass the Birthday Club duties onto Megan, who has done a fabulous job taking care of the emails and organizational duties for the past six months. I am working on simplifying things, especially as Chris comes home soon and this is just one of those things that I unfortunately can't continue to do. I have had a ton of fun celebrating your birthdays with you the past six months and I trust you understand.

So, Megan is graciously hosting the club from now on. You can find all the birthday posts, announcements, etc. on her blog, Flawed Perfection. And being that she will be taking on all the duties herself, Megan has decided that she is not able to open up the club at this point.

But, we have both decided that if we can't open up the club to more of you rad birthday girls, then maybe one of you can start another chapter of the Birthday Club and involve more really awesome birthday bloggers. If youuuu would like to take that on, feel free to shoot an email to Megan at loveandenvelopesbirthdayclub[at] gmail.com and she will be happy to answer any questions you have about that.

Thank you to all of you sweet girls for making our birthday girls feel loved and cherished over the past six months and here's to many more months of the Love and Envelopes Birthday Club (and perhaps other chapters??) doing the same!

Mahalo for the Birthday Love!

Okay, so my birthday was ages ago (March 19th!), but it's never too late to say thank you. I received so many cards and packages for my birthday and felt so incredibly loved by my friends, family, and blogger friends.

Here are just a few of the fun goodies that my buddies sent my way.

Thanks to my friends for all your love! I've had a blast hosting and being a part of the Love and Envelopes Birthday Club and I hope you have too! 

 * Katie P. * Ruthanne * Alison * Jacqui * 

Jaclyn * Piper * Tonya * Megan *

Jihee * Katie B. * Erin * Maegan * 

Kristen * Gina * Elizabeth * Chrissy * 

I also got a sweet package from my husband, including a bracelet from Borneo, a handful of seaglass he found on the beaches of Guam, and a beautiful letter that made me cry. 

** If your name isn't on this post, pleeeease forgive my disorganized nature! I really am thankful for every card and gift that came my way!**

Happy Birthday May Birthday Girls!

Happy May Day! Did you know that May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii? Yep, I'll be smelling the sweet scent of plumeria all over the island! And here on the blog, we're celebrating the May birthday girls from the Love and Envelopes Birthday Club!

Happy Birthday, girls! Hope your month is filled with sweet celebrations, yummy treats and of course, fun mail from friends all over the world! 

PS. Come back later today for a super pretty edition of Color Wheel! If you read yesterday's post, I bet you can guess which color I'm featuring! :) **EDIT** I lied... my computer is giving me a hard time this morning, so that post will have to go up another time. C'est la vie! 

Happy Birthday March Babies!

 Wow, is it already almost March? Hey, that's fine by me -- it always makes me excited to turn another page on the calendar-- especially during deployment and especially when it's the month of March!

Month one of the Love and Envelopes Birthday Club has come and gone! We hope that everyone enjoyed getting to send love and encouragement through the mail to the sweet January/February birthday girls!

 And to all our January/February birthday girls-- did you just love getting mail all month?? We hope your birthday day, week, month was super special! Don't forget to write a blog post about your goodies and link up here!

Today I get to wish a very happy birthday to all my fellow March babies!

While signs-ups for the Birthday Club are closed until June, please feel free to stop by their blog (either today or on their birthday!) and leave them some love!

Hopefully everyone signed up for the club received an email yesterday with the name and info of a March birthday girl! Make sure you get those cards (and goodies, if you are feeling generous!) out to your girl as soon as possible so it arrives in time.

Celebrating the January/February Birthday Girls!

Kicking off the first round of birthdays today for the Love and Envelopes Birthday Club! I'm so excited to wish each of these sweet girls below a very happy birthday!

Whether you are signed up for the Birthday Club or not, please feel free to stop by their blog (either today or on their actual birthday!) and leave them some love! 

Hopefully everyone signed up for the club received an email yesterday with the name and info of a special January/February birthday girl! Make sure you get those cards (and goodies, if you are feeling generous!) out to your girl as soon as possible so it arrives in time.

(If you didn't get an email, let us know ASAP so we can fix that! The longest email address ever-- loveandenvelopesbirthdayclub@gmail.com)

Also, you might consider writing a blog post about your birthday girl on her special day. This is a great way to make her feel appreciated by her fellow bloggers!
