  2. Have a wonderful and happy birthday! I usually get money for my birthday so I can get what I want, so I guess I'll have to go with that as my favorite birthday gift. I don't have a blog, so I'll email all of my friends who do crafts and direct them to your blog. Again, have a wonderful birthday! Thanks for your generosity on your birthday.

    My favourite birthday gift is children who weren't sick last year. Every year my kids have been so sick and my birthday is usually celebrated with sick kids. This last year I had healthy kids and we went out for supper and had a nice time.

  9. My fave gift was at my 40th birthday- my fam gave me a party! I got to see all my friends and relatives! I don't get out of the house much due to illness, so it was a gift when they all came to me. :)

    i hope you'll have a wonderfull day sweetie, with lot's of fun hunni, enjoy your special day
    next mount i'll be 40, if you find the time machine please let me know sweetie, hihihihihihih
    my best birthday ever was 2 years ago, not because of the gift, but that was the last time that my hubby was home with me, last year he was in the hospital and never come home until he has his lung transplant, and i don't believe he will be home on our 12,5 years of married and a week later i'll be 40
    so he has to miss all the fun

  31. Happy 40th Birthday! I hope your day is very special. I like to think we just get better with each new year. My birthday is February 3rd. I have to say that my very favorite and unexpected birthday gift was a diamond engagement ring. Gosh, that was back in 1972! I still have the ring, and the wonderful guy who gave it to me.

    Best birthday gift ever was when my sons came home after a shopping trip for me B-day Gift. There had been a dreadful incident at the mall and until they got home I didn't know if they had been injured or killed. The gift was lovely but having them home safe was the best gift ever.

  42. Happy 40th birthday Melissa. May your day be filled with love joy and surprises. Thanks a bunch for giving us the opportunity to win this super blog candy. I don't have a blog so I'll spread the word among my friends by email.<

    Have a great day!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Happy, HAPPY Birthday, hope your day is filled with laughter and smiles!

    My favorite Birthday gift...hmmm I have never really received too many, but the ones that stand out were my 25th b-day the hubs bought me a $700 sewing machine with table etc. from sears...(sadly now it is in non -working condition)

    then 2 years ago...my 3 kids and the hubs all chipped in and bought me all the remaining colors(small) and a case to carry them in...TWINKLING H2Os (before she cut them back to only 70 colors) so I have all 168 (I had 18)colors!

    You are so thoughtful and generous, this is awesome candy. Some one on disability like me, could never think of giving anything this BIG away...although for my first blogoversary I combined it, with followers and hits...so I have a 1-1-5 candy, and gave away 115 items...100 to the big winner and 5 items each to 3 others. It might have added up to about the Michael's card,you are offering LOL.

    my 2nd blogoversary is coming up, so watch my blog next week. I have lots of sponsors donating stuff, and I of course are giving away stuff...again I will have more than 1 winner, but no more than 3.

    Thanks you for this awesome opportunity!
    blessings,
    Susan

  61. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you ...
    I think my favorite birthday gift was a trip to New England. We visited a shrine in honor of Mary and planned to see the Old Man on the Mountain but the clouds were so bad we couldn't even tell there was a mountain there. It was a great trip.
    Enjoy your day.

  65. We are the same age, I'll be 40 next Saturday. It really is silly for us youngsters to turn 40. I hear it's harder on our parents than it is on us, bah humbug they caused it. Anyhow happy Birthday. I posted a link on my Facebook, it'll be seen by more than my 7 blog followers that way!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Happy Birthday!! best gift I have gotten is a scrapbook page from my husband that he made and the best that I could hope for is a whole shed to myself for crops ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  67. WOW! Happy Birthday! I can imagine 40 feels like it comes WAY too fast! I know every milestone I've hit so far feels that way and I'm sure they always will! But, you're still young...40 is the new 30, you know. ;)

    My favourite birthday gift that I've ever received? Hmmm...that's a tough one but, this past year, I got to go to Japan for almost a month just before my birthday...I guess that'd be my best "birthday present" I've ever had as an adult...As a kid, I was OBSESSED with babies and I got this baby doll I REALLY wanted that moved and was quite life-like...kind creepy now that I think of it, LOL...

    Anyway, you are FAR too generous to be having a HUGE giveaway on your own birthday but, thanks SO much for the chance to win!

    Hugs,
    Naomi

  70. Happy Birthday Melissa!!! The big 4-0! I will reach that milestone too in just under 2 years... i can hardly believe it! Time flies when you're having fun :)

    My best birthday gift was by far in 2006. I had met my fiance Yves just one month before and for the first time in my life, i got to spend my birthday with my soulmate. Years of waiting and searching were finally over - i had found the one with who i wanted to share every single birthday thus far. On that special birtday, he gave me a card in which he wrote me a poem asking to be his girl... that card and that memory, and that request i will cherish for the rest of my life.

    I screamed about your big birthday celebration on my blog @ http://scrap-utopia.blogspot.com/2012/01/huge-birthday-giveaway-from-melissa.html

  79. My favourite birthday gift was a bouquet of roses from my boyfriend then. I love flowers and that was my only flower as birthday present. My boyfriend/husband thinks that flower is a waste of money, so he would rather spend on buying gadgets , eating out, holiday..
    Happy birthday to you...!

  90. Hope that you had the perfect day! My favorite birthday present...guess that would have been when hubby presented me with breakfast in bed and then a nice dinner out with friends. I'm blogless, so will have to let my friends know via email...most of them follow you already! They've probably beaten me here to leave you a comment!

  102. Happy 40th - My favorite birthday was my 50th - in 2010, my best buddies got me an antique dresser that the top drawer folds down as a secretary desk. I loved it when I saw it, went back to get it, they snuck in, bought it and hid it from me and delivered on my 50th..what a surprise!

  105. Happy Birthday, Melissa, and many more! I love Busy Martha's statement and agree - I was 40 a few hours ago, myself, and now am 61 feeling like 25! God is good! I have many favorite birthdays, but one that pops up often is my dad taking me on his shoulders downstairs to the living room where they had set up a new record player (yes, that old!) for me and where my new best friend, a stuffed dog (Lassie's friend) was waiting for me. Ah, that was a great one! Thanks for the memories! I will pass this opportunity along to friend by email and thanks for the chance to win! Have a blessed day!

  119. Happy Birthday Melissa! I'm 30 yrs older than you but remember my favorite B-Day was when my son and daughter-in-law (in the Air Force at the time)were stationed on the island of Crete! Our first grandchild was just born and they wouldn't send any photos of her to us! They wanted us to visit them! So, I spent my 41st birthday swiming in the Mediteranian! What a birthday! I'll never forget it. I took lots and lots of pictures, too. You know they say live begins at 40! So true! I don't have a blog but I'll tell all my card making friends.

  123. Happy Birthday, Melissa. Hope you have a great day! Celebrate! My favorite birthday gift was when my daughter was a baby and we were trying to adopt her both parents signed their rights over on my birthday. The mother wasn't going to and had said she wanted her back so if she didn't sign we would of had to fight her in court proving her unfit and we didn't want to do that. What a great day that was.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Hope you had a great birthday Melissa. Time does fly doesn't. I turned 60 today! Hard to believe. I have a hard time deciding which present was my favorite over the years, but I'd have to say my first 2 wheel bike. Dad took me to the hardware store and we got to go upstairs where I roamed aisles of bikes and finally made my choice. I had my bike until 6 yrs ago and it had to be left behind in a move as we couldn't fit it in the vehicles. I'll always remember that bike. I don't have a blog so will be sharing through e-mails to all my crafty/scrappy friends. Thanks for a chance to win such an awesome price.

  125. When I was in 4th grade, I got my own roller skates for my Jan. 10th birthday. I went to the roller rink every weekend, and I'd always had to rent skates. I was thrilled when I got my own skates and a case to carry them in! Ahhhh ... the things that make us happy when we're young!
    Hope you have a happy 40th birthday!

  127. Happy, happy birthday!! 40? You're just a baby!! I turned 50 last February, and I still feel like a Spring Chicken (well, most days anyway! ;-) Since I've had 50 birthdays, I've received lots of wonderful presents over the years.. the first one I remember was a Panda Teddybear-- LOVED IT SO MUCH! Another one that sticks in my memory was when I was about 12. I had just set up a new aquarium in my bedroom, but hadn't gotten the fish yet.. a good friend surprised me by stocking my tank with all sorts of beautiful fish-- even a shark! :-) I thought that was pretty cool! :-)

  128. Happy Birthday. sweet Melissa, Happy Birthday tooooo youuuuuu...and many more!!! I hope you are having a day filled with sweet, special treats and plenty of family hugs & kisses. Your birthday card is in the mail, but got sent off late due to the holiday and post office being closed.

    What an awesome giveaway. For sure I will promote on my blog! As far as a favorite birthday gift of mine, the one that most comes to mind is this incredible shelf I spotted at a craft festival in Atlanta that a lady handcarved fish out of wood and there is a thin layer of glass on top. My hubby bought it for me since I fell in love with it. It still is so special and hangs in our dining room with gorgeous coral and shells on top. I hope your 40th is way better than mine. I was trapped in a car for hours fleeing Florida and hurricane Fran.

  143. Happy 40! I saw 40 over a decade ago - it's not a bad number. You should pamper yourself every birthday! Your important to many people (no doubt).
    My favorite birthday gift - would have been - the gift of time my Mother gave. She would have the most fun and beautiful birthday parties for my two sisters and me. She always made a homemade cake and decorated it for us. Yummy punch and other party foods. My girlfriends (even now) tell me what fun our parties were.
    My Mom is a very loving and giving Mother - and always has been. Even to this day - she gathers our family together to celebrate our Birthdays in a very special way :-)

  155. Hello and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
    What an awesome lot of goodies to win. This would be fantastic if I won. Thanks for the chance. Humm...the best gift I ever got is probably is cash, so I can buy what ever I want. But in reality I'm starting to think the best gift that anyone can really get on their birthday is the blessing to simply live another day...see another year.

  184. Hope your birthday is full of great surprises and lots of fun.
    I love having wild violets and amethysts as the symbols of the month! They are sooo pretty...and purple-y! :D
    A gift that I received for my birthday (over 4 decades ago) was a Cinderella watch. It had a pale blue leather strap and had Cinderella written across the face. The hands even had little blue insets. This was about a dozen years or so after the WD movie came out and was my favourite story. I didn't see the movie until years later(no body had dvds or blue ray back then) lol
    I still have the watch and although it doesn't work anymore, it's still so special to me. I can remember my Mother taking me to a real jewelery store to pick it out.
    Hope your day comes with memories to last a lifetime! :)

  185. Happy Forthieth birthday. My favorite bday was my 41st. I got flowers, cake, dinner, and presents from everyone. Which was better than my 40th. Seems like everyone ignored that one which made it worse. When me and hubby had a "discussion" about that he said he was afraid it would make me sad but what made me sad was that everyone ignored it.

  193. I don't have a blog. My favorite birthday gift was a footprint necklace my daughter gave to me. It holds special reference to my father who has passed away. It really meant a lot to me. Awesome giveaway, Hugz, Kim (kim.scrapper@yahoo.ca)

  196. I've received a lot of great birthday gifts, but the one I enjoyed the most was when my husband gifted me with an Ipod touch! It was such a surprise. It showed he was listening, cause I'd been wanting one! Patsy from

  199. Happy Birthday!

    My favourite birthday present ever was tickets to see the tickets John Barrowman in concert a friend got me last year, it was the gift that kept on giving as the tickets were bought for me in April around my birthday, but the concert wasn't until November so I had months to get over excited :)
