Oh, one more thing. Today is Eat What You Want Day!!! It was created to give people on a diet a guilt free day of splurging on their favorite foods. But it's back on the diet tomorrow! Can you believe it?! I guarantee you it's pretty much what I do anyway and especially on my birthday!
I hope you have a truly great day!
Happy Birthday Annette!!! My best B'day memory is when I was 13 years old and for as long as I can remember I had baked my own cake. My mom worked the 3-11pm shift at our local hospital and with 11 kids never had any spare time. Being the oldest girl, I just assumed the cake baking job for our family. On that B'day a lady knocked on our door and she was carrying a B'day cake. She said she had heard about me baking my own and she wanted me to have my own special cake. Turned out she was a nurse who worked with my mom and wanted to give me a little treat. I was so surprised and happy to get that little grocery store cake...I smiled for a week and it showed me how good people can be to each other.
ReplyDeleteHve a wonderful day and save a piece of that cake for me!
your friend,
Janet
PS.......you know I am drooling over all that vintage goodness!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteMy most memorable birthday was the year my husband actually managed to throw me a surprise party .... and I was actually completely surprised !

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, lovely lady!!
ReplyDeleteMy fave birthday moment was when my middle daughter (who lives in Arizona ... and hadn't had Bubby yet) surprised me and was at my house when I got home from work on my birthday. She actually scared the hell out me (and her two sisters who had no idea what was going on when she walked through the front door and ran and hid in the bedroom as she saw me coming). We had a lovely FAMILY dinner out, something we'd not done for a couple years since she'd moved. It was the best!
Your cake looks luscious, your giveaway even better! I'm in!

ReplyDeleteHappy B.Day (sorry I am late)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful day and yes, I believe B.Day's are for celebrating life and with the ones you love, it is a "ME" day (which Mom's struggle to allow themselves) So, go ahead and eat what you want, celebrate well :)
I will blog about your Giveaway on my Friday Post :)
I love my sachet and I think this is a beautiful giveaway :) T.
Oooo, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday memory? My wonderful husband took me on a 6 hour whale watching tour of Monterey Bay in California. We saw tone of dolphins, humpback whales, and even a blue whale! But the reason this is the most special birthday memory? My husband gets VERY seasick (didn't really know this until that moment), and he spent the entire trip a sickly green and hanging his head at the back of the boat. Then the sweet man insists on bringing me out again a couple years later! True love? You bet!
Hello Annette...I'm right in the middle of baking your wonderful chocolate chip cookies...you left out one very important step.......how to keep from eating all the uncooked dough!!!!! I love this recipe ;-)
ReplyDeleteJanet xox
Awesome, I want that lavender sachet! My favorite birthday memory is hands-down my 21st birthday, when my boyfriend proposed to me. :) Best day of my life; I was on cloud nine for weeks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday .... I would love to be the winner of the bunch of precious stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite birthday was my 17th ,,,, I thought everyone had forgotten and was feeling sorry for myself ... almost refused to go with my friend when she came to rescue me .... and deliver me to my surprise birthday party.So many friends there as well as the boy I had a crush on .... he is my hubby of now 38 years!
Happy belated birthday :) I'd love to enter your giveaway - you are a winner in my giveaway as well (dropped by to let you know). I'm so excited to make a photo card for you. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fav bday memory: my 24th birthday... I had my husband, parents, kids & childhood best friend have pizza on our home's sunroof & cake. Simple - only a few people. Exactly how I like it! Such a sweet, relaxed time.
Happy Birthday!What a generous giveaway
ReplyDeleteMy fave memory is when i was 7 & my mom brought out this amazing castle birthday cake she had made herself (it had Hershey's bar drawbridges & other tasty details). Everyone oohed & ahhed and then laid siege
My best childhood birthday was finally to be able to have that first slumber party with tons of girlfriends.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful birthday, it is a fabulous giveaway!
