Happy Birthday to me (plus gifts for you!) (plus a live chat!)

***See the winner of the Violette Field Threads giveaway here!***

So I’ll just come right out and say it….it’s my birthday on Tuesday!

Isn’t it awkward when it’s your birthday and you’re talking to someone who doesn’t know you very well and you want to tell them it’s your birthday but you don’t want to sound all self centered but gosh darn it you want them to tell you Happy Birthday? No? Is it just me…

I’ll just clear the air then…yep I’m (almost) one year older!

Also, I didn’t make my own birthday cake (yet), this one was for my little sister Julia’s birthday a few weeks ago. Definitely homemade…lol. I think I’m better at cupcakes.

But anyways! I’ve got an awesome week of FABULOUS giveaways in store for you, as a way of spreading the joy of my day of birth. Also known as the awesomest day in historical (and present) times.

So in between scarfing turkey (for you American readers), check in to see some fabulous goodies up for grabs!

Stay tuned!

As always, fabric is always an acceptable b-day present. *big wink*

BUT WAIT! There’s more.

On top of the giveaway hullabaloo, I am super excited to be involved in a chat tomorrow with The Motherhood!ย 

With Thanksgiving (ie the aforementioned turkey) and other special holidays on the horizon, we will focus on tips for creating fun, crafty and kid-friendly holiday decorations, making show-stopping holiday table scapes and other fabulous projects to wow your holiday guests!ย  Come to share your own ideas (and photos and videos!) and get inspiration from other creative minds!

  12. I wish you a very happy birthday! Have a great day! Ana

  13. happy birthday! it’s totally not wrong to drop your birthday into conversation. I think it’s a good thing for grownups to still get excited about it. especially if it gets you free dessert.

  14. Yay! How exciting! Happy early birthday!!

  15. Happy Birthday Jess. i hope your cake looks as lovely as your sisters. x

  16. Happy, happy birthday!! I get the same way with people… I love birthday wishes! Giving them, getting them, anything! ๐Ÿ™‚

  17. Happy Birthday, Jess! Hope it was awesome!

  18. P.S. That cake looks fantastic – and while your cupcakes are truly ridiculously gorgeous, I don’t think anything about your sister’s cake is wrong! You should have seen the cake I made for my fiancee and his mom (they share a birthday) – it tasted great, but wow – it did NOT look good! I didn’t know the trick about the parchment paper – I just greased and floured/cocoaed the respective pans, and I took them to my to-be brother-in-laws house for assembly. It was a topsy-turvy cake without meaning for it to be, and I hadn’t made enough of the coconut buttercream to cover all four layers (alternating coconut and chocolate). I’d thought about making my own wedding cake, and I realized that if I were to attempt it, a lot more practice would be necessary! ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. happy birthday!!! i usually don’t tell anyone its my birthday on my birthday. it’s like my secret special day. but I know that weird feeling you are talking about, haha!

  20. Happy, happy birthday! Wishing you a year filled with joy (and fabric)!

  21. Happy Birthday to you!!!! The 22nd is my 30th birthday! And I see some other post are celebrating their birthday too. Happy Birthday to all of us!!!

    Did you mom ever put a candle in the turkey when your birthday fell on thanksgiving? or was that just mine ๐Ÿ™‚

  22. Happy Birthday! I actually know exactly what you’re talking about ^^ That cake looks amazing by the way.

  23. Happy birthday!
