Do me a favor...

I know what you're thinking.  "Why Clare?  What totally unnecessary reason could you have this time?"  Well, I'll tell you.

You see, historically, August 3rd has been the day celebrated across the land (that would be my land, Randombubbletopia) as the day of my birth.  The day that has consistently taken me one official step further into revered old person status.  (I know, the "revered" part is wishful thinking, but a girl's got to have a dream.)

Yup, this year  August 3rd makes me turn (legally) FORTY YEARS OLDER than I was forty years ago.   (Mentally the jury's still out waiting for the private investigators & forensic anthropologists to give them a definitive answer.)

"Wow Clare, you really look old!"  It's okay, I know that's what you're thinking when you look at this:

The Google description said "Korean Monkey Snake"
Well, I'm not really that old.  It's more like this:

I didn't know The Google had such accurate pictures of me!
What?!  You don't believe me!  I'm wounded.  I thought we had a trust thing going there.

Okay you caught me.  Yes, I am far (about a mile maybe) from being an angel.  But I am cute.  You hafta gimme that much.

Because I so much love this happy bubble I found on The Google.
Congratulations!  You have read this far!  This calls for a celebration.  Or we could call it a birthday celebration if you are so inclined.

How about a giveaway?  
"A GIVEAWAY!?!" you say.
Yes, why don't we do a 'Clare is physically turning 40 despite all attempts to remain 23' giveaway?  
"Yay!!!" you exclaim deliriously.

So I'll do this sweet & simple.  Leave a comment here on the blog, describing the type of birthday dessert you like best.  One winner will be chosen randomly & will receive an art piece created just for them!  

Yup, I said the winner will get a custom, one of a kind, original, made just for you piece of art created by yours truly.  How does that sound?

I'll leave this open until midnight Sunday the 3rd.  Then Monday morning (or as soon as I become coherent) I will announce the winner on my Facebook page.  (See how I got you check both places?  Sly aren't I?)


Got it?  Well, here's a brief recap just in case.


1) Leave a comment here describing your favorite birthday dessert.
2) Check the Facebook page on Monday to see if you've won.
3) If you do not have a Facebook account, never fear, I will also post the winner's name here.


Okay kids, I think that's it for now.  Don't forget to check back on Monday to see who won!


Until then, smile, blow some bubbles & have a fabulous weekend in honor of my old age!


Aloha hugs, 
~Clare

My only bday dessert since I was a kid has been a german chocolate cake. It is my favorite to this day.

I like the idea of German Chocolate cake, but not necessarily the flavors. I'm weird that way.

I would have to say my favorite "dessert" is the cookies I make at Christmas time. They are my sugar cookies and I usually only make them at Christmas time so I look forward to getting to have them all year long.

Along the lines of me being weird, I'm not a fan of Angel Food cakes. Something about the spongy texture I think. But I'll take the strawberries! Also not a huge Haupia fan, but then again I haven't had it in more than a decade.

My favourite was always a gooey chocolate cake, but for the last few years it has been strawberries, just a big bowl of strawberries.

Wishing you a spectacularly wonderful bubblelicious birthday Clare xxx

Strawberries, especially big, fat, juicy ones. Yum.

Gooey chocolate cake? What time should I be there?

Mahalo for the bubble wishes. I fully intend to blow a few tomorrow.

How can someone not LOVE Tiramisu? I actually received one from the Stork a few days ago as a pre-birthday dessert. So good.

Thanks for the welcome. Got a map?
