My Birthday Gift to YOU!

This is a busy month at my home. My birthday is November 15th, our first child, DD will be 15 on November 25 and our second child, DS#1 will be 12 on November 13! Whew - we didn't plan that very well did we? I must say that the best birthday present I EVER had was coming home from the hospital on my birthday with a perfect little baby, DS #1. (Even though I checked into the hospital on 11/12 my Dr. wouldn't release me until 11/15 because of some abnormalities in my blood levels. Luckily everything got back to normal within 6 months.)

To celebrate this great month I'm hosting a giveaway for my birthday. The prize is a Harvest Doll made by me, a basket made by me with harvest type dessert/cocktail napkins and 2 Yankee candle melts in the Cinnamon Stick scent. I still need to stain the basket so it will be darker than it is in this picture.


There are just a couple of "rules" for this giveaway.


First - you must leave a comment on this post - like you'll be over for a piece of cake! We are so sick of cake by the end of the month! I've been known to throw cake away. Last year DS asked for homemade cinnamon rolls instead of cake - YUM.


Second - PLEASE don't post this giveaway on your blog. I'd like this to be for my followers or those that happen upon my blog by accident.


Third - If you don't have a blog, leave me your email address, if I can't contact you I'll redraw someone else's name.


I will draw next Thursday night 11/12 - actually I'll have the birthday boy or girl do the honors. Good Luck ~Ann

  15. There's no rule that says you HAVE to have cake to celebrate a birthday! We usually make pie because everyone like that's much better! Your December birthdays remind me of our MAY birthday - there's about 8 of them if we include extended family - crazy! Anyway, happy birthday to you and yours. Please add my name to your drawing!

  26. Hi I just happened across your blog today and adore it. I love primitives! The whole birthday thing I too have a November birthday, except mine falls on Thanksgiving this year (Nov 26th)! Seems like a tradegy to throw out birthday cake. Its so yummy! My dh's family is much like yours though Dec 2,Dec 8, and Dec 10, so I'm sure my mother in law feels your pain!
