*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!
Happy birthday to your little one! And mine! Her's is in 3 days. I'm so sad I can say I have a 2 year old! She's not a baby anymore ;(

Happy Birthday to your cutie. Birthdays must be celebrated with cake. My favorite candid photos of little ones are those where they had a cake they could dig into with their little fingers! Chocolate preferred. Best wishes for a great b'day celebration. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
My favorite way to celebrate is to go some where special. On my husband's 70th we had a big party, it was tons of fun.

I love just to be able to spend time with family and have help with the cooking!

Our birthdays are very low key. They are not big parties. It is that persons DAY. They chose the menus (which can be out to eat even). They can chose an activity. And its just family.
love those reds!
My favorite way to spend a birthday is going out to dinner with the hubs!
I'm a new follower and glad to be one!
Happy birthday to your lovely baby!
I always loved going to dinner with my dad, just the two of us, each year for my birthday. I always got to pick the place too! 🙂
I love the spicy bundle!

Oh Pretty in Pink for sure, we love going on picnics for birthday's, just getting away with the family for an afternoon is great.
I already follow your lovely blog.
Happy Birthday Caitlyn! First birthdays all way have to have a separate cake (or cupcake). We always have the Birthday boy(in my case) pick out their favorite meal and either cook or get takeout. Of course my son is 19.
I like things hot n spicy!
Dear Caitlyn,
Please have a wonderful hot spice Kona FQ bundle kind of day! Tell your Mommy that you want to play princess dress up. Pick put some of your Mommy's fabric, let her wrap a full length fabric gown around you. Pick out some cloth for her to wear too. You both can be a princess and view a little girl movie at home while eating popcorn. I know my little grandniece likes to do this so you might too. Hugs, MarciaW.
Thanks for the giveaway. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Happy Birthday to your sweet little girl!
Happy Birthday to your little girl.
My daughter released a birthday balloon each year, for my grandaughters birthday. Now the girls look forward to doing it every year! Great fun! love the red bundle!
Enjoy your little ones special day!
Posting again, since I forgot my email address. Oops! (tropical_tiki_goddess at msn dot com, by the way)
My favorite way to celebrate my birthday (which is in a few days, eek!) is to go out to dinner with my favorite people. Over the years this has been various friends and my boyfriend. This year, I have to work in the evening, so my celebration will be on another day.
Happy birthday little one! Celebrating with family is our biggest tradition. Thank you for the generous giveaway.
WOW!!! What gorgeous bundles! I'd be delighted to win either but if I had to choose, it'd be the Hot Spice – I could do with a little spice up 😉
My youngest was born on Earth Day (April 22), so for her 1st birthday we had a "green" theme. I made grocery totes as favors for everybody who came to the party, we had recycled plates and cups, etc. And we made a donation to the World Wildlife Fund in honor of her birthday (and got a stuffed animal as a gift for donating). We're going to make the donation thing a yearly tradition.
Thanks for a great giveaway! Happy birthday to your little girl!

Happy, happy birthday sweet Caitlyn. My girls are 3 and 4 and I adore birthdays with them. A picnic at a park with friends is usually how we celebrate. I make the cake and decorate it as a surprise for them – they don't see it until candle time and the delight on their faces is worth hiding it. Also, we have simple games like bubble blowing and pass the parcel. It's soooo much fun with small people!
Oh, and I follow your blog!
I have a newborn so I"m short on birthday ideas, but cupcakes are always awesome, and so are themes!
I follow your blog in google reader.
Oooh, pink Kona solids! I totally need that bundle 🙂
For birthdays, we usually just have family & friends. Kids get to pick their favorite meal & the cake is usually whatever they are into hat year.

& Happy Birthday to your Little Girl!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday Caitlyn!!! Now that my children are a bit older, we really like going out to dinner to celebrate birthdays. I am also a follower of your blog too Angela:)
My favorite way to celebrate my own birthday is to have a Hobbit style unbirthday. I just like giving things to people and seeing their faces light up.
Happily following!
Caitlyn is so cute!!! I just love birthdays. I like to have a family birthday party. I usually invite all my family and a few friends. Depending on the age, I like to make crafts, play little games where the kids can win prizes. When my daughter was little she liked to dress up. So I used to buy little costumes for her to play with all year round. She would dress up in a little tutu, or as a princess, etc. It was a lot of fun, and she looked so cute!! I love the hot spice bundle. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!! Hugs Ariane
I'm follower!! Thanks again!! Hugs Ariane

My birthday is Friday, and my husband's is Thursday! One tradition my dear late grandmother started was making me a Red Velvet Cake for my birthday. I still try to make one on my husband's birthday now, so there is a piece left for me on my birthday! Happy Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl!
Happy Belated Birthday Caitlyn. May the next year be filled with lots of fun adventures.
To celebrate birthdays we let the birthday person make as many choices possible on their special day. They also get to go first and not have to share (which is huge with 4 brothers) Yes a little self absorbed but it only happens happen once a year.

I always try to do something special with my daughter on her birthday. A little shopping trip or a visit to the hair salon followed by lunch. This is always just the two of us. Since she is now grown with her own kids it is harder to pull off. For her 25th I gave her a necklace in her favorite blue saphire as she has never liked her own birthstone and loves blue.

Happy Birthday Caitlyn.
I know this sounds corny, but, even after all these years ( my children are now 30 and 33) we start the day by telling what exactly happened the day they were born! Not newspaper events, but household events, family member stories about them and the day they were born- and they still love it! We show pictures of their homecoming from the hospital, and drag out the old "toys" of a newborn 😉 I just found your site on Bejeweled quilts by Barb, and am glad I did… since this is the "first" birthday, it is a great year to start this tradition if you like, LOL. Thanks for the give a way chance, and a very Happy Birthday to your daughter, fondly, Sandy
I now am a follower! No blog yet, but am tempted, fondly, Sandy

OH YUMMY! Thanks for the chance 🙂
Well, I just love to stay at home with my family!
