Birthday Give Away!

Hello friends!

My birthday is exactly one week from today. I'll be THIRTY-THREE years old. I had a really rotten end of my twenties, and have thus far loved every minute of my thirties including falling for Mr. Retro and living in India for a year. They've been wonderful and magical, these thirties!

To celebrate my birthday, I'd like to gift one of you a little something special:
Vogue 8234 in size 12-14-15
Vogue 8280
Both patterns are uncut. I will also send along a grab bag of a few sewing thing-a-ma-jigs to the lucky winner. 

How to enter:
  1. Leave a comment telling me about your fondest birthday memory. 
  2. Make sure to include an email address so I may contact you if you win. 
I'll leave the giveaway up until midnight (Philadelphia time) May 28th (my birthday!) and will announce the winner May 29th. 

Good luck!

My fondest birthday memory is perhaps a bit hedonistic, rather than sentimental. My nineteenth birthday was my first one away from home at college. My roommate and friends threw me an awesome surprise party. We had such a great time - still love all those girls today!

On my 12th birthday, my parents took me to a riding school for a day. I loved horses, but had never ridden one before!!  I remember being really scared to start with, but by the end of the day I was loving it!

Happy, happy cake day!
My fondest birthday memory- I was five years old and got a pet gosling! Living out on a farm in the middle of nowhere meant that having a super cute goose pet trained to protect me = rad! bimbleandpimble at gmaildotcom

Fondest birthday memory: my 7th birthday! I was dressed head to toe in a hot pink suit outfit and my whole extended family was at my house for my birthday party. I rode into the living room to cut the cake... On my new pink BMX bike! Hello@sewmelove.com

Happy Birthday!!!! My favorite birthday memory is when I turned 20 My mommy made me her famous and my all time fave dish she makes is Homemade chicken noodles with mashed taters and a birthday cake and ice cream for dessert along with presents from her and my first born son. I don't know why but this birthday always sits in my mind of my favorite birthday memory I guess its because of the person who made it my fave my mom :) asteen43@gmail.com

My birthday is December 12, and each year I am reminded of one very special time. My partner surprised me with a trip to Paris (2008). He had thought of every little detail, boutique hotel, dinner on the banks of the Seine followed by a boat trip where he produced a stunning diamond solitaire ring and proposed.
It was a magical fairytale, sailing along the Seine with the twinkling Christmas fairy lights in the distance surrounded by the stunning backdrop of all the Parisian sights at night! Of course I squealed with delight and we celebrated with a champagne show at the Moulin Rouge!. 

Happy birthday to you!

It would have to be my 30th birthday.  I got to spend it in Anchorage, Alaska with my closest friends and family.  I had just had a miscarriage a couple weeks earlier, but they all had really rallied around me and made it a memorable birthday.

Happy Birthday! My fondest birthday memory is (rather blurry, in fact it's black and white by now, prob. be sepia next year XD) one of being surprised with the most perfect hooded yellow raincoat with big fat yellow buttons when I was 6? 8? BTW please don't enter me in the giveaway, I've enough things on my to sew already! They deserve to go to someone that'll actually do some sewing with them (this year) XD Thanks for setting this up!
