Let's wrap up birthday week with a gift for one of you, shall we? Today Amy and I are each hosting a giveaway on our blogs as part of our week long It's My Party and I'll Craft if I Want To event.
I had a great time this week sewing projects just for me as a birthday gift to myself. I shared my 241 tote, my patchwork camera strap cover, my scrappy pin cushion/organizer, and my embroidered log cabin mug rug. Now it's time to give a gift to one of you! There's a really great package of goodies up for grabs. Are you ready?
Next up is a handmade zipper pouch that I put together using Vanessa's tutorial over at LBG Studio. I love the colors on this. The pouch is roughly 7.75" by 3.75".
Next up is a journal. It would be great for writing down project ideas. It even says "create" on the cover. The journal is printed with soy inks by an ecologically minded company called Green Inspired.
There is also a really neat little booklet of tags that could be used for scrapbooking or other projects. I'm kicking myself for not having bought an additional pack to keep!
And just for fun I'm throwing in a few packs of buttons. The flower shaped buttons are the type that I used on my Spring Embroidery Hoop Wall Art.
So how do you go about entering to win all of these goodies, you ask? Here's the lowdown...
This giveaway is now CLOSED. Thanks for entering!
MANDATORY ENTRY

Happy Birthday ( I really think that a week isn't enough to celebrate your birthday, maybe next year, it should be the birthday month!). Your giveaway is great. Those flower buttons look like they were made for the charm pack. SO cute. I loved your mug rug from yesterday. I really like the log cabin block but don't like making them much.

I'm a follower and I have really enjoyed the birthday week! I LOVE creamcheese frosting and use it on pretty much every cake I make. My favorite cake would probably be a strawberry cream cake that I made for my daughters 2nd birthday- it was soooooooo good.
I'm a follower! I agree with you, my favorite "cake" is ice cream cake, especially the Dairy Queen ice cream cakes. Love that crunchy fudge layer!
As for regular cake, I'd have to say carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is hands-down, my favorite. Except when I'm in the mood for chocolate. :)

I follow Amy's blog
Happy Birthday! This is one fabulous giveaway!!! I follow your blog and I am not a cake fan either (my hubs dies when I say that, he is all aboout cake). However, I DO have a major thing for cake mix!!! On my birthday, I always ask for a chocolate cake mix (sans eggs, of course), all whipped up in a bowl, like pudding... but way better!!! I also love cake mix cookies (almost any kind). And frosting? I love the good old Pillsbury vanilla frosting (and I am pretty sure you can only buy it now as Funfetti frosting with sprinkles). It has been my favorite since I was a child and I have tried to make my own and it never is as good to me.
I am now following Amy's blog also.
Chocolate cake w/ chocolate frosting! This is a fantastic giveaway.Been following for quite awhile!
Thank you.....my fav is buttercream frosting on butter/vanilla cake.

Umm, I just like cake with frosting, not really picky about the type. I made a lemon and lime white chocolate mud cake with lime coconut ganache for my birthday this year.
I am a new follow from Amy's blog- I like German Chocolate cake with that gooey coconut nut frosting. Mmmmm- I've been on a diet for so long that I've forgotten what cake tastes like.
I am a follower of Amy's blog too- she wanted to know about ice cream :)

I hope this doesn't double post for me, Blogger put up a fuss when I tried to post my comment the first time.
My favorite cake is from Albertson's called Victorian Lace. It is white cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting.
It would have to be carrot cake with whatever it is they put on top - cream cheese??
p.s. in the unlikely event that I win, I already have the book so maybe that could go to someone else?
I am a follower, and the cake that I like is chocolate! Happy Birthday
