ReplyDeleteOne year my husband surprised me with a patio furniture set. I got home from work, expecting him to still be at work and he was home. He had it on the deck complete with cocktails and snacks.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! My birthday usually falls over my favorite independent film festival, Nevermore. I usually get movie tickets and that's the bomb! :)
ReplyDeleteI just like taking off work if I can. I detest working on my birthday and just doing my own thing. Sewing mostly chilling and relaxing. Hanging with the family when they get in! Taking me time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. The fact that I make it from one birthday to the next is gift enough for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, my folks gave me a 3-speed bike. I put a lot of miles on that bike!
ReplyDeleteHappy 52nd birthday! In February I turned 51, so far so good. Way back when I was 7 my mother made me a #7 shaped chocolate birthday cake and I also got a #7 baseball t-shirt/jersey. I still remember how happy it made me. Great color Aurifil thread. ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteI have never use Aurifil threads, and would love to try! I love surprises, whatever it is, just to wait for an unexpected thing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! When I was growing up birthdays did not get much attention...four of us had birthdays in eight days so my Mom decided to just ignore them. It was not until I got married that we actually celebrated my birthday! Best gift ever was a trip to Montreal! Mumbird3atgmaildotcom

ReplyDeleteHmmm...my favorite birthday presents? Perhaps the all time favorite, wasn't actually my birthday present, it was my husband's--but we both benefitted greatly from that gift! LOL It was on my husband's first birthday, as a married couple, that our first cat "followed" him home! He stood outside our apartment door and asked me to come outside. There he stood with a dirt covered white kitten that had followed him home from the workout room in our complex. It was his birthday, how could I say no!? That white kitty was a wonderful, loving addition to our family. Definitely the best present any of us have received on our birthday!
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is in June and my sister's is in January. We are a bit older than you, from the days when toys only came on Christmas and birthdays, so, I always had great pool and summer toys! My poor sister had to go without or use mine.
ReplyDeleteYears ago we moved from the ocean to the mountains and heavy snow. My birthday present was a snowblower! It sure came in handy the next 25 years !
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift always involves fabric, quilt books, or thread! Thanks for sharing the giveaway and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I'll be 52 this year as well. My favourite birthday gift was a positive pregnancy test which I got on my 34th birthday and resulted in my third child Will who is now almost grown up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, what a lovely way to celebrate! Happy birthday and blog anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI got 1/2 a sewing machine for my 21st birthday (the other 1/2 was birthday and xmas money from family) from my parents. It was awful, but when I finally gave up on it, my Dad insisted he would pay for all of the replacement machine, which is, thankfully, brilliant.

congratulations on a successful blog. Yes, this thread is excellent but not everyone can afford it so this would make a great birthday present for me in May.
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday is extra special Lisa. I hadn't thought about it but I have a birthday coming up on April 7th. I guess turning 66 just doesn't get me excited. I want to be 52 again. My favorite gifts are always sewing related...fabric, patterns, or Aurifil threads would be the perfect gift. Enjoy you day!!
ReplyDeleteMy best birthday ever was a surprise trip to New York City (my first time there) on my 50th. My husband is so wonderful!! That was 9 years ago and I've never forgotten that magical trip.
ReplyDeleteWonderful theads, just what a gal needs to complete a,perfect birthday. Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteLx
Happy Birthday to you! I have a few years on you, but remember my 19th birthday well! It was the day I met the man I'd marry. Such a coincidence and yet it was the luckiest day ever...we will celebrate 33 years of marriage this year.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was a trip to Mexico. Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors in the collection, fit your personality. Best Birthday Gift - time with family. 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy husband got me an iPad a few years back. It was awesome, but unfortunately now it's been claimed by my 2 year old. Maybe I'll get a new one this year....
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was a Bernina 330 that my husband bought for me. Happy birthday! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I found your blog from IG. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Lisa! My favorite birthday gift was having both sons attentive at the dinner table. They usually run in two different directions and I treasure their company and being able to listen to their stories during that particular meal time. And of course they both did the dishes together!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was from my granddaughter when she was about 9 - she cross stitched me a pretty hummingbird. I still have it hanging on my craft room wall.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Peggy

Awww congrats on the blogiversary and birthday!!! ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday - i love books for birthdays!
ReplyDeleteEvery birthday the last 4 years, my now 10 year old niece ( I'm now 56) takes me to The Huntington Library in San Marino California for formal tea. It makes my day the best. We always have a pot of Rose Tea. We have been kindred spirits since the first minutes I held her as a baby. P.s. her name is Scarlette Rose!!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy birthday Lisa!! How sweet of you to celebrate with a week of giveaways!! Today's prize is awesome!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Lisa and thank you for the giveaway. My favorite Birthday present was a pair of diamond ear rings from my daughter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday kid. That is a hard question, from what perspective shall I choose? I think I'll go with what he has put the most thought into over the last few years for me would be the Janome I received last Christmas. It's also what I have used the most. Thanks got the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday present? Hmmmmm... I think the year I got my first Kindle ereader.
ReplyDeleteIt was a happy birthday when I found out that I was going to be a grandma.
ReplyDeleteAll of my birthday gifts were handmade drawings and things my children made me that I still keep. The artwork I frame.
ReplyDeleteMy son made me a little pin cushion in elementary school. He knew I loved to sew.
ReplyDeleteI love to celebrate with cake. You can never go wrong with cake! Especially gourmet cup cakes! kmcassie at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI have 5 children. They are all grown with their own families. 3 live close by and 2 out of state. We just don't get together often enough. A few years ago, they decided to surprise me on my birthday. Everyone was here! It was the best! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift is always updated photos. Happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift is one that was given some thought about what I would like.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was on my sixteenth birthday when my parents gave me my great grandmother's engagement solitaire diamond set in a pendant surrounded by blue sapphires in the shape of a flower. I still wear it today. It is one of my most prized pieces of jewelry. That will be 40 years ago this April.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Blessings to You!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that my grown Kiddo's always come by, or call (one lives far away)...to wish me Birthday Love & Hugs! :) Makes my Heart Smile Big!!
Best birthday wishes to you and your wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was to see my daughter during the holidays when she was in college.....
Thanks for the chance to win that beautiful Aurifil thread too.
nettiecrain@live.com
I think my favorite Birthday gift is any one that is separate from Christmas since it is six days before Christmas. I'm not complaining that I celebrate birthdays with Jesus but His birthday just kind of outshines mine. But probably the best one was the one two years ago when my daughter gave me a jar of Prego Spaghetti Sauce and a pair of baby shoes---letting me know that I was going to be a grandmother!!!
ReplyDeleteI love cards but my Grandsons send me new Humming bird feeders each year. I love that a lot. Jmikebalou (at) aol dot com
ReplyDeleteI love anything that my kiddos make for me. It always makes a great birthday.
ReplyDeleteLast year, my oldest daughter took me and our youngest for pedicures. That wonderful time with both my girls was my favorite! Pbstrand@msn.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift is all about quilting : fabric, book or wonderful Aurifil threads.Joyeux anniversaire XXX
ReplyDeleteOh wow I'm so jealous of you all who can use Aurifil thread. We don't get it here in South Africa and when we can it is sooo expensive. Thanks for the chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday for next week Lisa! While every birthday gift is loved and appreciated, anything sewing related is always fun!
ReplyDeleteHomemade cards and gifts are the best especially the ones from my kids when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteI seldom remember gifts, but do remember events. On my 21st birthday my mom and her sister took me to the horse races. It was a fun time. The excitement grew when there was drawing for a trip to California and my mom won! Made for a memorable birthday.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift is all the homemade presents my grandchildren make for me.
ReplyDeleteMy grandson makes me the best cards - they stay up on my refrigerator all year!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gifts are the people who actually remember it is my birthday. Then it is usually combined with Valentine's day which is the next day. Would love to have a gift of Aurifil thread.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Lisa! I hope you have a great day planned for your special day.
ReplyDeleteI think my most favorite birthday gift was years ago, when all 3 of my boys were all under the age of 5. I had an awesome girl who babysat for me and she took all the boys to shop and buy me a gift with their allowance money they all had. (truthfully I gave her a bunch of change so they thought it was all their money but it was mine) She knew what I wanted so she steered them to that item in the store and they thought it was a great idea and all their own. It was a coffee carafe like you see in restaurants that has a spout and little button you push to allow the coffee to pour out and keeps it warm. I still have it today. Watching their little faces when I opened that present was the best thing about the birthday because they were each so proud that they bought that for me. I don't know if I've ever told them to this day that it was mostly my money. lol
Happy Birthday - hope it's a great one and thanks for your gift to us.
ReplyDeleteOne of my very favorite gifts was a set of Denise brand interchangeable knitting needles. I use them all the time and love them. This year my birthday is one the same day as my quilt guild's show, so I hope I win a ribbon for my birthday!
ReplyDeleteMy email is: bestbelle2010@aol.com
Thanks!
Have a very Happy Birthday, Lisa!!!
My favorite birthday gift was spending my birthday at the Grand Canyon with my hubby.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gifts are always things that my kids have made just for me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gifts are those my kids have made me, or now that they live "away", the little treasures they have picked up knowing my interests.
ReplyDeleteThe one I am giving to my husband this year: a trip to Europe. Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast in bed is my fave birthday present ever.
ReplyDeleteBirthday gifts are awesome... I usually drag mine on for a week or 2:) I just love spending time with family and friends and lots of cake:)
ReplyDeleteI dont' remember the "best" one... I do remember the worst one! My mom interchanged 2 gifts...and the one I wanted more than life itself, she wrapped in tissue paper so I could see it was my dream, only to open it in front of all my school mates ...and it was socks!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite birthday gifts was just to have a full day of fabric dying without having to worry about fixing breakfast, lunch or dinner.
ReplyDeleteThe best birthdays gift was the birth of my nephew and the fact that my sister survived. She experienced deadly complications at 26 weeks, pregnant with twins. Although my niece did not survive, both my sister and nephew pulled through with no complications. He turns 6 next month.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My favorite gift is a bouquet of flowers and a hug and a kiss from my husband. Thanks

ReplyDeleteMy husband surprised me with a new sewing machine (Juki) a few years ago - I went downstairs to let the dog out and noticed that my machine had a bow and then I realized it was a new one! He's the best! Congrats on your birthday and blogaversary!
ReplyDeleteThese are such gorgeous colours. Happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gift was a basket for my bicycle. It may have been for my 9th since I got the bike for Christmas when I was 8. i had ridden my bike to the PO to pick up a package which turned out to be huge. I had to walk my bike home balancing the box. Obviously I really needed that basket. Nancy A: rangers@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday gifts are definitely home made :)
ReplyDeleteI have been spoiled over the years by my DH; but the chocolate birthday cakes he makes are always the best (a 6 layer salted caramel chocolate cake for example) Happy 52nd! I would gladly rewind 14 yrs. pjrrquilter (at) msn dot com
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you, and your blog! What I love to receive as a birthday present, is something I didn't expect, whatever it is!! Love surprises!!

Happy birthday Lisa! My favorite birthday gift was cake made by my five-year-old granddaughter. It had lots of frosting!
ReplyDeleteThe year I turned 50 my husband and I went on a cruise. On my birthday I was snorkeling in the blue Caribbean waters. It was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe year our twin sons were babies, the only thing we managed was a terrible storebought cake that tasted like cherry cough syrup. We still laugh about it.
