I'm not as old as the Star-Spangled Banner!

I am NOT as old as the Star-Spangled Banner - it is celebrating its 200th birthday - but it is my birthday too! I don't think we need to go into how old I am, now do we? Old enough to know better but don't really care!

So to celebrate my birthday I want to give you a gift - a $25 gift certificate to the crafty store of your choice- fabric, yarn, cross stitch, paper - whatever! Leave me a comment and tell me what age do you think is the perfect age to be- it doesn't have to be the age you are now, but it could be. I figure the best age to be is at least 5 years older than I am now - wanna plan that future -LOL!

If you have problems leaving a comment on this post,  you can email me at CFUN53@gmail.com. No matter how you leave a comment be sure I have an email to contact you at - if you are on Google + please put your email in the comment as I can't for the life of me figure out how to get back to you.

I will leave this giveaway open until Friday September 19th at 11:59 pm. I will put all your names in a hat or some other receptacle and pick one randomly and announce the winner on Saturday September 20.

happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Polka Dot Chicken, happy birthday to me!

has a catchy ring to it, doesn't it?

happy stitching too!

Do you know what today is???

Betcha don't - well today is my birthday! I know you are surprised, so am I every year when it rolls around. I don't feel any older but the number keeps increasing - oh well it sure beats the alternative.

So what am I doing for my birthday? Well I'd like to give one of you a present. Over the past 2 weeks when I went water skiing in my bathroom and broke my wrist lots of you have left wonderful comments and sent emails that I haven't been able to reply to since it just takes foooooorrrevvver to type. So I added up all the comments and tossed in the emails I've gotten too and made a numbered list - I came up with a total of 70 as of 12:01 am this morning and plugged it into a random number generator and came up with Teresa of Teresa's Heartfelt Stitches.

So Teresa I will be sending you a $25 gift certificate to the crafty store of your choice- needlework, yarn or fabric. I've sent you an email to find out your selection.

Hope that you all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by my humble little blog and leaving such lovely comments that make my day!

Happy stitching-
