I admit it. I love birthdays. Celebrating with family and friends is one of my favorite things to do every year.

To celebrate my birthday week this year, I'm giving something away: a limited-edition Glimsen mug. And one of you will win it!

I love this mug. It's a good size and shape, and the purple inside looks like it splashed out of the cup and onto the handle.

This mug will not only remind you to look for the beauty around you but it will also make your favorite beverage taste better. (Well...maybe...)

By now you are probably thinking to yourself, "Why, I must have it! How do I win?"

It's easy to enter. Just leave a comment on either one of these posts: Growing Older or Beauty and Order, Not Clutter. You can answer one of the questions at the end of the post or just leave a general comment related to Glimsen. (If you have already left a comment, great! You are automatically entered in the giveaway.)

For an extra chance to win:
In addition to leaving the comment, go to the Glimsen page on Facebook here. Scroll down, and like one of these posts: "Growing Older" or "Beauty and Order, Not Clutter." If you do that, your name will go in the hat twice.

The deadline is this Monday, August 13th, at 12:00pm EST. The winner will be chosen at random and then contacted via email or Facebook message. The winner has two days to respond with his/her mailing address, and then the mug will be on its way!

Good luck! And even though there's only one mug, I hope all of you win! :)
