it’s my birthday–but it’s your celebration (#1)
As I’ve mentioned before, Spring is my favorite season by far! And aside from the tulips blooming and baby animals popping up everywhere, I think my birthday might play a part in why I love it so much! Heck, all April birthdays are wonderful… even when they fall close to Easter!
So instead of me celebrating all month by myself, I thought I’d share the celebration with you as well! And guess who agreed to help out? Shutterfly, for their Spring Celebration Announcement promotion, has given me two custom 8×8 photo books to share with my awesome readers!
Maybe you’re like me and you love to horde all of your cute photos on hard drives and never print them out for the world (or your coffee table) to see? And you procrastinate until there’s an awesome coupon code or a real excuse to make your photo books? Or you just procrastinate forever for no real reason at all (hello wedding album!)?? Well, this is your chance to have no excuse at all… and to use your credit to make a book featuring your fun recipes from the past year, or your weekend camping trip, or a crazy get-together with your blogging buddies in New Orleans (hint hint)!
You also might want to check out Shutterfly’s selection of birth announcements, in case your April or Spring includes a new birthday to celebrate!
So, what do you need to do to win?
Just leave a comment sharing your favorite thing to celebrate this Spring!
Allergies?Daffodils? Asparagus? Running outside?
What ever it is, just share it here and you’ll be entered to win! I’ll choose the winner on the morning of Monday, April 18th, which is the same time the next giveaway will begin!

My favorite thing is bright colors being back “in style” or at least much more prevalent again! My favorite spring color is teal, like the background color on your blog!

I love Spring because I can start to wear sandals to work!

My favorite thing about spring are those perfect sunny days in the low 70s that make me want to live outdoors. And tulips. :)
Jen @ Living a Brighter Life
I love spring because it stays light longer and I get home from work and still feel like I have time to do things outside!
I could also really use a photo book since I still haven’t made our parents’ wedding books and we have almost been married 1.5 yrs! Procrastinate much?
Megan
I just love that restless feeling you get when the weather warms up.
Michelle @ A Little P
My favorite part about spring is the arrival of longer days and shorter nights – nothing is better than a walk outside after dinner.
Amber
Oooh! I love spring because of the smells of the world in the morning. Such a wonderful, fresh, earthy smell. I love it.
Michelle
Awesome! My favorite thing about spring is the sun being up for longer. I love being able to run errands at 6 and 7 in the sunlight!

I love spring because there is more sunlight! Also, it means we are closer to our annual camping and gold prospecting trip in July.

I live in Michigan, so after a long winter, my favorite things about spring are being able to paint my toenails and wear flipflops and how it seems like birds are constantly chirping for joy!

Happy Birthday! My favorite thing about spring is gardening. Looking forward to that. Still a little ways away in the midwest. =)
Audrey
Well . . . other than our birthdays and turning 3-1 (eek), I’m most definitely looking forward to the return of those Santa Monica beachy days!
Aubrey @ My Simple Everyday
I loathe wearing jackets and layers in the winter!! Spring is the perfect time to start wearing cute floral dresses!

I’ll definitely look into this. I just keep my images in hd’s and never really get the chance to print them out or I forget, lol. Eventually when I remember that’ll be the only time I’ll get to it, haha. A picture book is a great idea.
Chrissie
My favorite thing about spring is picnic lunches! I work at a university, so I love being able to sit outside and people watch in the gorgeous weather.
Jade
The best thing about spring is definitely being able to enjoy the sun being out longer!

My favorite thing to celebrate about spring is grilling! Mostly because I’m too chicken to grill in the snow – too cold for me, thankyouverymuch!

Peonies!!! And less rain, which also (usually) equals more sun! :)

My favorite thing about this spring? Brayden is big enough to use his new play set outside. He loves it, and it is so fun to watch him learn how to play!

I love running outside instead of staying inside on the treadmill. My birthday is in Spring as well! Happy Spring!

My fave thing about spring is walking outside without having to put on a coat!
