Lily Calloway's Birthday Extravaganza & Giveaway

Hiiii, my lovelies. Where does one even begin to introduce a post like this? *takes a deep breath* Ok. So, almost all of you must know by now that I have a slight obsession with the Addicted and Calloway Sisters series by Krista and Becca Ritchie. After reading Thrive two weeks ago, I have suffered through crazy withdrawals and wanted to do something to put my excitement and fangirling abilities to good use. What better way to do that than honour one of the quirkiest, most adorable and lovely characters I have ever had the pleasure to read about?! Today is Lily Calloway's birthday *dances around the room* I have invited some pretty amazing people to join me and together we want to wish Lily a big, big happy birthday :) I hope you lovelies enjoy this post and don't forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom of the post. Thank you for reading and I hope you have just as much fun with reading and watching these birthday wishes as we had creating them *hugs*

Hey, Lily! Pardon me for not being the most creative one out of this bunch, that's for all these other lovely ladies to make you happy with, so words and gifs is what I shall provide you with on this gorgeous day. Here goes.

You inspire me every single day with your ability to love and care endlessly; with your quiet strength and easy-going nature. Your journey has given me alllll the feels. Whenever you feel down or not confident, just know that we love and adore you to no end, always root for you and hope that you get your happy ending (pun intended ;)) soon. I hope that this day will bring you all the laughs and tickles in the world :) *sends you a basket full of cupcakes and Marvel DVDs* Happy birthday, love! *throws confetti*

Alsooooo, since Lo and the gang are allowing you access to the Internet, I thought I'd surprise you with a little something. Here's a sight you don't see every day: Loki has changed into a suit with a skinny black tie and is showing off his dance moves ;) *cue fangirling*

Oh, and last but not least, I called in these awesome favors *bounces with excitement* Since today is a special day for your cute self, here are some awesometastic people *ahem* especially the last one *cough* to congratulate you, my awkwardorable friend :) *hugs*

Lanie

Lanie aka Mauve Fairy from Book-A-Holic Fairies has put together a video, made Lily an ecard and wrote a super adorbs birthday wish :)

**THE FOLLOWING CARD CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T READ PAST ADDICTED FOR NOW**

You can also see a super fun ecard Lanie made for Lily by heading over here.

Jenn

Jenn from Addicted Series Fanpage has also put together a fun video for Lily to enjoy and it features our very own Loren Hale :) I'm sure she'll be happy to see it and here's what Jenn had to say:

Lily, I hope your day is spectacular and filled with so much love, joy, and laughter! But mostly love. I’m sure no one will be able to top Lo’s birthday gift to you, but with a little help from Lo, I was able to piece this little clip together for you.

You should know that it took a bit of effort to get Lo to smile, which is why this video is very short. I managed to find a way to do it and I think I've captured his best moments in this video.

Happy Birthday Lily!
XOXO - Jenn

Sue

Sue from YA Hollywood and Addicted Series Daily makes some of the most gorgeous graphics. She also made a beautiful graphic to celebrate Lily's birthday and I'm head over heels in love with the message Sue wrote for Lily.

Happy birthday Lily! I hope you're having a magical celebration with your family and the gang. You're a true inspiration. You changed my life, like many people who are currently reading this message right now. Thank you for introducing everyone to a timeless story. Your genuine heart, passion and goofiness doesn't go unnoticed. You're the #1 nerd star in our hearts! Heart eyes and love lots!

Nick

Next we have the everlovely Nick from Nick's Book Blog who has written a cute message to honor Lily on this day and of course a gif is attached to this message ;)

Dear Lily, I'm wishing you a lifetime's worth of happiness, comic books and sweet LiLo moments on your birthday today. Know that there are hundreds of fans out there who are rooting for you and Lo to have the happily ever after that you so obviously deserve. I've loved watching you grow and you've made me so proud with how you've handled everything that life has thrown at you. Best wishes and hopefully, Lo will show you a hell of a good time today (like he always does! ;) )

Love, Nick

Michelle

Michelle from Four Chicks Flipping Pages has made such a fun graphic with a lovely message on it for Lily. It's so colorful and pretty :)

Amber

Amber from For Your Literary Pleasure has done a different sort of graphic and it will most definitely make our goofy heroine blush, but hopefully laugh and smile too :)

Amy

Amy from Foxy Blogs has crafted a graphic as well and she used a photo of one of the prettiest shoots [of Ksenia, the dream cast for Lily's character] that has captured Lily's quirky and a tad chaotic, haunted look :)

Ashley

Ashley from Back Porch Romance has created an ah-mazing and so lovable graphic that you will get when you read the books yourself :) I'm so in love with it and Lily will most definitely fangirl like I did ;)

Jullie

Last, but most definitely not least, we have Jullie from Teacups and Book Love sharing her quirky graphic with a beautiful message ;)
