*the giveaway is now closed*
Well, today is truly a special day in our house. Today is my beautiful Caitlyn’s 1st Birthday! That’s right…she’s now one! She’s standing up on her own for little bits at a time (looking totally adorable trying to gain her balance). She loves music and loves to dance. She can wave hello and goodbye (but I’m working on getting her to blow kisses) and her most consistent words are “kitty cat” and “chester” (one of her toys). She is our miracle and her 1st birthday marks a very special occasion for us!
So in honor of that, I’m having a giveaway. And I hope you are as excited about it as I am! I am giving away a fat quarter bundle of Kona solids!! I have two choices for you to pick from. I was just going to go with the pink because of the whole little girl theme, but I decided that not everyone might be all that into pink…so there is a red option as well. So, you can win either…
The Pretty in Pink Kona Fat Quarter Bundle:
yum!
Or, if you prefer, The Hot Spice Kona Fat Quarter Bundle:
It’s saucy!
Each delicious bundle contains 21 fat quarters of coordinating solids! They are so pretty you won’t want to take them apart! LOL.
So how do you win?
1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite way to celebrate a birthday! Your’s or a child’s. I need ideas! LOL.
2. Become a follower or state that you are a follower of my blog.
3. Blog, Tweet, or Facebook about this giveaway and leave a comment letting me know. Heck, you can have a separate entry for each! That’s 3 possible entries right there!
4. If you have done all of that, you can have a separate entry by wishing my baby a Happy Birthday. Be creative!
Please be sure that there is a way to contact you! Email is preferable. Any contestants without contact information will be automatically disqualified. (I’ve got to be able to tell you that you won this fabulous item!) Also, please say which bundle you would prefer!
One last picture to entice you…!
Although her birthday is today, I’m going to keep the giveaway open until the end of Monday as things often slow down over the weekend. Good luck!
This is my first visit to your blog – I like it so I became a follower.
I like quiet birthdays – a day to myself BUT I love getting birthday cards and friends & family know it! so i get lots of cards & open them throughout the day – my own little party!
Happy birthday Caitlyn!!! I hope you had a fun time on your birthday & got to be all messy eating your cake!
Caitlin — We are so glad you're born… and I've put you on the list of potential suitors for my son if you'd like to meet him someday. 🙂 Your mommy and I will sew together while you two get to know each other… deal? 😉
of course I'm a follower.
I say the only must for the first birthday celebration is that Mommy makes the cake. 🙂 And for you — some kind of hand-made decoration too.
Congratulations Angela. I know her sweetness is all the more rich to you after all the heartache along the way. I'm rejoicing with you on her birthday. 🙂
Happy Birthday to your cute little girl! I'm with the others that suggested a special cake letting her eat it however she likes with you on hand with a camera to capture the moment for posterity. For a first birthday I'd gather as many family and friends around as possible. As she gets older the birthdays will be all about her own little friends and not so much family – so make the most of it while you can.
I'm a new follower – and love the spicy bundle. It reminds me of mulled wine and winter berries.
As a kid we always had a pinata at our parties. Those are so awesome and I wish that as an adult I could still have them at my party!

Awww, what a great giveaway! I think the best birthday in our house so far was the Yo Gabba Gabba themed one I did for my son's 2nd birthday. I've got boatloads of tutorials still bookmarked and tons of pictures!
I'm a follower, too, of course 🙂
And happy, happy birthday, Caitlyn! Oh, and definitely make a separate cake for her. I think what I did for my son's first birthday was a 4" round pan I found at Jo-Ann's, and it was more than enough for him. 🙂
Happy, happy birthday, Caitlyn! (And happy birth day anniversary to her mama!)
Favorite ways to celebrate a birthday… My mom has ALWAYS made a big deal out of birthdays, and I love that now I get to do the same for my little ones. 🙂
Birthday breakfast is the best. And simple. Mom would get up early (or stay up late the night before, I suppose) and put streamers up over the table. There'd be colorful paper plates and matching napkins and something yummy to eat. (Maybe a fruit salad or migas or something simple but tasty, usually.)
Birthday dinner would have the cake and presents in full view and be a special meal. A favorite food that we didn't have often or something yummy that looked really pretty on the plates.
It wasn't (and isn't…she did this for my birthday this year and I'm 37) that big of a production, but always makes me feel special and honored. 🙂
And I'm a new blog follower. (Odd, because I thought I already was!)
My favorite way to celebrate a birthday is with friends, usually in a bar (I'm in my 20's.) I imagine that as I get older that will change but for now I consider it a good night.
In honor of your daughter's very first birthday I have a little song.
"This is your birthday song.
It isn't very long."
Ta da!
What a fabulous giveaway. Would love to win the Pretty in Pink fat quarter bundle. For birthdays, I like a party at home with all the family and lots and lots of cake with cream cheese frosting.

I do what ever my kids and grandson wants to do we just celebrated my grandsons 3rd birthday he wanted to go out to eat smiley faced pancakes and go to the movies and play in the park we all had such a good time. We made chocolate cupcakes together filled with chocolate chip cheese cake filling and buttercream frosting it was a mess be he had a great time and they tasted wonderful.
Oh, I like pink!!! My favorite way to celebrate my birthday is with cheesecake and family!!
I already follow!!
Our favorite way to celebrate birthdays is to have the entire family over for a birthday dinner. The birthday girl or boy picks their favorite meal and we all get to visit and have a wonderful celebration.

My favorite way to celebrate a birthday involves watching my favorite movies, eating some of my favorite food, and hanging out with my favorite people! My 3 year old daughter's last birthday involved her helping me make and decorate some cupcakes, getting her choice of a favorite dinner and decorating some super fun birthday hats. Thanks for the chance to win!

Thanks for this opportunity…love the spicy bundle.
My mom used to have the birthday child pick all their favorite foods and make dinner with those favorites (which sometimes made for weird combinations, but it was fun). And each child had THEIR birthday cake which was only made that one day of the year and no one else could request it. As an adult now I still make "my" birthday cake for myself and it helps me feel close to my mom. Thanks for sharing your celebration with us!
I'm an official follower of your blog now.
My most favourite birthdays when I was younger were the ones with not too many people (too much noise & stress) & with things that were just about me & my interests: crafts, a movie, games.
I still like to celebrate my birthday with little things that have a lot of meaning for me.
My mouth started waterig when I saw those luscious fat quarter bundles. A Happy birthday to your little one
Caitlyn is adorable. Happy Birthday!
I'm a follower on Googel Reader too.
Aw… She's adorable! My favourite way to spend a birthday is to have a noisy dinner with close friends and homemade cake.
First of all happy birthday to Caitlyn! Time goes so fast, she's one!
On birthday I love to have a family bating, and I love to bake some sweets for the party and a few to take away.
And the most important have fun!
I forgot to mention which bundle, love both but only can choose one so… Hot spicey please.
I'm a follower 😀
Absolutely scrumptious giveaway. Those colors are to die for!!!
This may not be birthday but though my children are now 28,24, and 20 I still do Christmas stockings for them with little things – hair stuff, bubble bath, nail stuff, chocolates and same sort of things for my son. They love it though they think its very childish of me!!!
I always make the person that is having the birthday their favorite meal and favorite cake.
