Wow I'm the first to comment I feel so special!

My favorite birthday memory is my 22nd birthday when my daughter was 2 weeks old and I was leaving her for the first time and as I was getting dressed to go out to dinner she started crying and when I picked her up I swear she hugged me, it broke my heart and made me cry--and made it that hard to leave her!

Just Me said...

I had a really good birthday last year (2008). My husband and kids pampered me all day. I got a massage and pedicure. They also made me a cake, and I took a nap. It was the perfect day!

Unknown said...

I like the sweetheart in pink, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the brown beanie. Does that surprise you at all? Didn't think so!

Stitchnmom said...

Rachele referred me. My favorite birthday memory was probably my daughter's 3rd birthday when her and her daddy put her new toy together.

Stitchnmom said...

Since they would be for my daughter I had her choose her favorite ones. They are the Sweetheart Bows in Pink

Stitchnmom said...

I'm very much in favor of helping others to build their personal business. So here's my blog where I made a post. Hope it helps you out.

Hi Millie, my favorite b-day memory is when I turned 13 and my parents tried to pull off a surprise party, but I arrived home too early and caught some friends trying to hide on the front lawn.

Julie said...

I like the sweetheart bows in pink. My little girl doesn't have much hair yet, but when she does, she'll look adorable in them!

Julie said...

Here's the link to my blog--all your stuff is really cute!

Story Family said...

Brace yourself...this just MAY sound totally lame. Then again, you were raised in Monticello, too..so you'll get it.

CHUCK E. CHEESE!! There is no such thing in Monticello. So my parents took the whole fam-dam-ily to celebrate both Curt's and my bday since they're only two days apart. UNFORGETTABLE. (Is that sad?)

Story Family said...

And my favorite bows (Valentine's at least...)

The sweetheart in red.

But they're all so stinkin' cute!! And your daughter is the perfect model. She is adorable! She should be on some cover.

Those hats!!! I LOVE THOSE HATS!!

Krista said...

You have the cutest model I've ever seen!!! :)

Love ya!

Everything looks so cute. .. I am not entering the giveaway b/c I don't feel like reminising right now ;0)
But I did want to stop in and tell you how cute everything is!

My favorite Birthday party theme idea was probably my third birthday (a color theme), however, my favorite Birthday was my Sweet 16. I wasn't expecting to celebrate my Birthday, but my friends and family threw me a surprise party. It was my dream party because friends from both of my youth groups were there.

When I went home that night, I was actually crying.

I think my favorite bow would have to be the Wild Thing. I really love animal prints and red and black are two of my favorite colors.

My favorite birthday memory was when I turned 9 years old and I got a new bike. It was purple with streamers coming off the handles and was totally mine. I always had to share old bikes with my sisters before that so I was glad to have something to call my own.

Christina said...

My favorite bow is the Sweetheart in Red, so cute!

So many fun memories! It will be hard for you to choose!

My favorite adult birthday memory... My birthday happens to land on Christmas. As a child I had the BEST birthdays because my whole family, immediate and extended, celebrated my birthday since we were all together. As I became an adult the whole birthday celebration started to get wiped out by the Christmas celebration. My wonderful husband decided two years ago to make my birthday special by giving me the best of both holidays- time with family and time for myself. I had mentioned to him earlier in the year how much I loved Olive Garden's 7 layer chocolate lasagna cake and yet when he went to buy it for my birthday they had discontinued making them. He went onto the internet, found a copycat recipe and spent a massive amount of time making me it. On my birthday after the commotion of Christmas morning he sent me downstairs with my chocolate and nuts found in my stocking to scrapbook the afternoon away while watching chick flicks. He proceeded to make Christmas dinner and present me with my birthday cake that he worked so hard on. I got the best of both worlds- spending time with those I love and getting that little bit of 'me time' that so often moms only take on their birthdays.

Jared and Amber said...

I have to say that I love the sweetheart in pink...

where do you get all your ideas?? The lady bugs are sure cute- you are so creative!

Our Corner said...

Rachele referred me. One of my favorite birthday memories is of my birthday last year.I came home from work thinking I was going to be taking care of my sick husband but was surprised to find that he had the whole house cleaned and decorated and was making dinner.It was a fun little surprise. He had invited his parent over and we had a mini birthday party it was a lot of fun.

Our Corner said...

I love your cute little hats and bows. My favorite was the red hat, love bugs, and sweetheart satin. I would love to help you out so I'll be posting about your blog on my blog. :) Here's my address if you want to check it out.

here we go with all my comments! My most happy recent birthday memory was this September when I turned 30. I had actually been looking forward to this birthday for a long time. I think it's cool to move up into grown-up land more fully. My husband planned a surprise party for me and even more than seeing my friends and eating yummy carrot cake (my favorite), I loved that my husband thought of me and planned ahead!
So it must be your birthday, right? Happy Birthday!

SumGreater said...

Comment #2 from me. I love the cherry cordial bows the best. They're all sweet, but those are my favorites. I like their colors and the shape. They're kind of like a teeny crown on a little girl's head.

SumGreater said...

Here's the link to my blog. I'm going to go post about your giveaway right now. My baby girl will turn 1 next month and she needs accessories! By the way, your beanies are really cute, too. You're so crafty. If you tell me you homeschool on top of all that, I'm going to cry.

My wife says our daughter really needs these bows. My favorite birthday memory was when I was younger and my mom decorated the house with "spider-webs." She took string and wound it around the room dozens of times and each kid had to follow their string to find their prizes. It was neat-o.

Loomi-Loom said...

My favorite is definitely the "wild thing." I would put anything with that name on my kid.

Loomi-Loom said...

And third, here's my blog. I can't believe people will see this, but it will make it all worth it if we win.

I love the sweetheart korker bows, I know their for little ones, but my Nine year old will love them!

Charity said...

My favorite birthday memory? Birthdays were never a big deal in my family, so I really didn't ever have a "real" party, but now that I am married, my husband always buys me a dozen fire and ice roses and lets me have the whole day to do whatever I want...even if it's napping or perusing the quilt shops!

Charity said...

BTW...Happy Birthday!

Unknown said...

So cute! My favorite b-day memory was my 15th. My Mom had a surprise party for me and I was so surprised that I threw the pizza boxes in the air. Oh sencond favorite, when I turned 29 Jer was out of town for work, and was working nights, so I thought he would forget. He still called, what a sweetie.

Unknown said...

My friend Kristene Armstrong turned me on to your site.
This is my sencond post, I love all of your bows, V-day is my favorite holiday, and I can't choose a favorite. I just looked at your profie, and just wanted to say that my husband is a farrier. Gotta love those hard working, dirty boys!

Unknown said...

Okay here is number three, wish me luck! I am so excited to but a link to your blog on mine, I hope it gives you great returns.

Maryann said...

Hi. My cousin (Amber Martin) left a post on our family website about your boutique. Very cute bows and adorable hats. I read in your profile about the horseshoeing school. I've never heard the word 'farrier' in my life. I must of spent half an hour looking at your schools website. I was fascinated. :) My family is living in Iowa right now (hubby in med school) so we're practically neighbors!

Anyway, my favorite birthday memory...Like Amber, my birthday lands on a holiday, Independence Day. The best day for a birthday. No school, lots of sun, cousins, swimming, homemade ice cream, bbq, sparklers on your bday cake (that then needs to be refrosted), and then everyone shoots off fireworks. What more could a girl ask for? The favorite memory that comes to mind is the year my parents got me a cabbage patch kid. I saw that very obviously shaped box all wrapped up and was confident in my soon-to-be-adoptive-parent-of-a-cabbage-patch state. If you were a little girl in the 80's you just might understand the joy I was feeling. My father kept telling me that I was getting garbage bags for my birthday. That was actually a common thing to hear from my father growing up... So my birthday arrives and finds me opening my present in an exultant almost cocky manner. Imagine my horror when inside a very real cabbage patch kid box is a bunch of boxes of garbage bags, but NO cabbage patch kid! I tried very hard to be brave and keep the tears at bay, knowing somewhere deep inside that my parents really did love me and would not play such a horrible trick that did not actually end in me getting my cabbage patch doll after all. My dad, who was probably trying not to laugh too hard at my reaction, handed me a card. I think I still have it. It had a little riddle in his handwriting that led me out to the side of the house where next to the garbage can was a garbage bag stuffed with newspaper. My precious blond cabbage patch kid, whom I named Kellyann, was inside. She had a little black smudge on her face that needed to be wiped off, but other than that she was unharmed. Yep, pretty memorable...or rather perhaps I should say traumatic.

Maryann said...

My favorite bow is actually the cherry cordial. They are unique and extremely cute. Love it!

Also, I love, love, love the valentine skirt! So cute. You are a talented seamstress. I am more apt to throw my sewing machine at my husband (for telling me I should use it) than I am to actually try to sew something. :)
