Congratulations on your anniversary and the chance to win such great goodies. My favorite birthday memory was my 16th, when I came outside to a brand-new lime-green VW bug wrapped with a huge bow from my parents outside my dorm at college. I don't have a blog, but I will be spreading the word to my crafty friends about your blog and give-a-way.

My birthday is on the 7th so I hope to have a fab new memory soon. My brain is so scattered but I seem to like every birthday where my friends and family just come over and sit in the backyard and chat. With three kids, I rarely get a chance to just "be"...that's what a great birthday is!

Hi Michelle!
Congrats on your blog anniversary! I always love checking in to see your new creations. I don't have a blog to link you to...does Facebook count LOL! My favorite birthday memory would have to be that scavenger hunt you guys did for my 17th. I was pushed out the front door with just my pajamas on, and given a basket to collect the clues. The clues were attached to those small pumpkins, and they led me around the neighborhood, and eventually back to my garage where I found my present waiting for me! I think it was a discman LOL! Good times! Congrats again! Miss you!

Dawne said...

Hi Michelle...thanks for having this blog candy! It's cute how you put how much it's worth! I haven't seen that before. So funny =} I really really like that card. Must've took a lot of time!! A birthday memory is when Dave & Busters first opened and I had my high school friends get together with me and we had a blast.

Jen from Pieces of Me.... said...

Happy Happy Happy Anniversary, Dahling!!!!

Looking for many years to come....

I don't know if it is my favorite memory, but I know that it is one that I can't seem to forget. I always think about this when I think about birthday memories. It is of my birthday when I turned 8, of which I received a Snow White watch from my mom. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever received, as a kid, and I thought that I must cherish that watch FOREVER. Of course I don't know how long that lasted, because obviously I no longer have that watch. Anyways, I don't even know why that is the birthday I remember. I've had other birthdays that I got way better stuffs... but maybe because it was actually the 1st stuff I remember that was the best to receive? LOL...

Ok... time to link you to my blog.

Hugs,
Jen

Jodi said...

Congrats Michelle!! Oh what a coincidence... you will announce the winner on July 8th?? That's my birthday! Just mail the candy to me!! LOL!

There were so many people and lots of fun!!
Hugs
Jodi =)

Congratulations on your blog anniversary. Your creations are truly an inspiration to us beginners!

My favorite birthday was my Sweet 16 birthday. My Mom threw a party for me at the Kalihi YMCA. We had KFC, chips, dessert & lots of friends came to help me celebrate!

L'Hélène said...

My favorite birthday memory is on my 30th. My boyfriend took me to a cool renaissance restaurant with our friends. Then we went back home for wine and cheese and opened a bottle of 30 years old port wine. It was amazing.

Risa said...

Hi Michelle!
I discovered your blog while visiting Kyoko's blog. Your blog is fantastic and your creations are gorgeous!
My fav. birthday story would be when my son (who was five at the time) could not wait for me to cut my birthday cake! At that time, I was calorie conscious and wasn't in a hurry to eat my cake. All of a sudden, I heard a loud noise and went running into the kitchen. My son had climbed onto the table and cut a huge chunk of cake with a butter knife and had cake and frosting everywhere! My beautiful cake was destroyed but the incident was so funny, all we could do was laugh!
Congratulation on your blog-a-versary and thank you for the chance to win your awesome candy! You are way too generous!
hugs
Risa:)

Happy blogaversary Michelle! These are some great goodies...the frame is just too beautiful for words!
My favorite birthday....gosh, I'm so old, I can't even think of one because we don't do big birthdays (is that boring or what?!). Ever since I had kids - their birthday's are the big ones that we do instead...so...for my 1 of my kids - my daughter's 21st one was memorable - we did a beach thing and had lots of onolicious food!

Islander Girl said...

Wowzer! What a huge blog candy!!! Someone is going to be very lucky!!! You're so kind to give these goodies away!

Hmm, not sure about my favorite bday moment...I never wanted parties but my mom always gave me one. I'd have to say all since I never wanted one and always was suprised by how many people my mom would invite...

Aloha!

Fay said...

Congratulations, Michelle! Your blog is so inspiring and really helps to stir my creative juices!! My fave birthday memory was when my husband took me to Vegas for my 31st. When we got to the hotel, our room wasn't ready yet, so we had to play at the casino until we could check back. While waiting for our room I hit my first-ever royal flush! The rest of that trip was pretty good, too, so it was very memorable for me!! :D Here's the link to my post about your blog candy: http://mystampingcreations.blogspot.com/2009/07/awesome-blog-candy-from-michelle.html

Happy BLog-o-versary!

My favorite birthday memory is being celebrating my birthday at home while a blizzard raged outside. It was just so beautiful to watch the snow coming down (actually sideways) and being next to the fireplace.
