Birthday Week Giveaway
September 29, 2008
After being showered with good times, good friendships and good gifts this past week, I thought I'd pass on some good stuff to others!
I'm turning 43
but it's YOU that may win something for FREE!
You will want to visit our blog each day this week and see what I am offering as a give away! All you have to do is leave me your name and a way to contact you and I'll put your name in the hat.
IF you link to my Birthday Week Giveaway, I'll put your name in TWICE!
Each day's giveaway will be a surprise, except for Saturday's giveaway.
Saturday I will be giving away one Basic Cake Decorating DVD and one Learn How to Crochet DVD!!!
EVERYONE that leaves a comment this week will be entered for the DVDs, so make sure you state which one you'd like.
BUT, for the other giveaways you'll have to check in and let me know you want the giveaway of the day. Hope that is not too confusing. All giveaways will end 12:00 midnight Central time!

Today's giveaway is a autumn hanging dish towel.
HERE is MY free tutorial on how to make them.
link has been fixed…thanks!
So, just leave me a comment if you'd like me to put your name in on this one. If I draw your name tonight I will mail it to you TOMORROW! If you link to this givaway on your blog I'll put your name in TWICE! You will automatically be put in for the DVD giveaways for Saturday!

Looks like you had a fun party. Happy Birthday! Thanks for a great website and Encouraging Eager Hands! It encourages me in training my daughters to be keepers at home.
Hi Kathy!
Please enter my 11 year old daughter, Anna for the dish towel! She would love to win on Saturday the Crochet DVD! Thanks for entering her in for that too!
Happy Birthday! We can’t wait for the rest of the week!

Hi Kathy
It is my birthday this week also–44, and my husband’s today. Let the balloons fly. Our children do make it fun. Does putting a link on facebook count as a blog?
Happy Birthday!! What a sweet way to celebrate! Thanks for your blog.
Happy Birthday Kathy…Also, we have been enjoying the study on “Work”. Thank you for sending it to us free!!! I would also like to enter to win the dish towel.
PS, Kathy. I’m attaching the link and blogging about your birthday on my recipe wiki. (Oops, I forgot to mention that)
Happy Birthday Week!

Hi Ladies!
I have the tutorial link fixed now, so please try again.
Patty Marr and anyone else… Yes, facebook or any other networking/social blog counts as a blog. Thanks for asking!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Please enter me in the drawing for the dishtowel – Fall is my favorite season for decorating, that includes linens in the kitchen! I would love to be entered in the DVD drawing too – if I have to choose, I’m wavering, but I guess it would be cake decorating! THANKS for a great learning web site and freebies!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kathy!!! What great daughters to throw you a surprise party. Thank you for sharing your birthday with us. I agree with everyone else – the towel idea is great! Please enter me into the drawing and come Saturday, I would love to be the person drawn for your crochet dvd as it would be a great blessing for my daughter. Thanks again!
Happy Birthday! You are so generous to offer these giveaways.
The cake decorating dvd sounds great!
Please enter my name in your drawing. I could use one of these as mine have become rather worn and stained except for my Christmas one. I will check out you tutorial now for revamping my supply. I was thinking the other day that I really need a way to wear the dish towel at my waist, like an adjunct to an apron or something.
Happy Birthday, Miss generous Kathy!
Happy birthday,Kathy! Thank-you so much for the great site. My daughter and I have so much fun through it. If I were to win, I would choose the crochet DVD. My daughter wants to learn to crochet, and because I have MS I no longer have the fine motor skills to teach her. Thanks again, and may God continue to bless you.

What a neat way to celebrate your birthday by sharing with others! I am looking forward to looking around your site a bit more. Please enter me into the drawing today, and the cake decorating DVD sounds like a fun way to learn a new skill.
Have a blessed birthday and many more. How special for you to give away things to others. Today is my husbands birthday also. Please enter me in the drawing for the dishtowl and would love to win the cake decorating DVD.
May God bless you with many more birthdays!!!
Happy Birthday!
Happy, Happy Birthday. I used your tutorial to make some fall dishtowels for my sisters-loved them. (Of course it is still very hot here so we are not thinking fall quite yet but I can’t wait to get my decorations up). Enter me into the drawing for the crochet DVD-pick me, pick me. Like your website-learning lots.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I just found your site a couple weeks ago and ordered your cake dvd as my daughters have been wanting to learn. So please enter me in for the crochet DVD.
I have 4 girls and am excited to learn these things with them.
Blessings and thank you for the freebies!
I would love to be entered! I like the towel, and as far as the Saturday giveaway, I would have to say the Cake Decorating DVD would be awesome! What a fun week!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I think I’d be interested most in the cake decorating DVD (which would make my dd’s birthday a hit!), but either DVD would be wonderful, I’m sure
Thank you so much, and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I have just recently discovered your website through the free giveaway from the homeschool radio program people. Thanks for offering us gifts for your birthday! I am excited about the Saturday giveaway. My children would like for me to request the cake decorating, but I think I would like the crocheting dvd. Thanks so much! Susan
The towel is lovely and I’d love to win it!
Blessings–
Dana
I would like to be entered in your giveaway. Thank you for the encouragement you give on your website. I love old-fashioned homestead style websites and I read them alot. I do not have my own website. Hope that is not a problem. Thanks again. Pam
This is a beautiful towel. I am going to have to check out the tutorial. Thanks for entering me!
Audrey
Please enter me in the giveaway too. I would love to learn how to decorate cakes. I have been making cakes for my kids for the last couple years for their birthdays, but usually nothing really fancy, would love to get better at this.
And also the fall dishtowels would be neat too.
Thank you.
Candace
Happy birthday!!! Stick me in the hat!!
I just recently learned of your website, I think through Homeschool Freebie of the Day site. Thanks for all the great info. I’m a visual learner so I love all the pics. Please enter me in the drawing for the gorgeous autumn towel and I would like the cake DVD if I’m the winner. Abundant blessings of JOY! Jesus is our JOY!
Happy Birthday! What a fun surprise party! I would love the autumn dish towel! I would take either DVD too! Thank you for your great blog, inspiration and generosity!
God Bless- Jill N.
It was a hard choice, but I’ll have to say I’m in for the Crochet DVD. I’ve never won anything, so I hope this will be a first.
Happy Birthday!! May you receive many blessings, especially on your birthday! I am rather new to this site (I enjoy all of the pics)and the info is wonderful. Thank you for all your hard work. Would you please enter my name into todays drawing…if I win I am interested in the “how to crochet”DVD.
Happy Birthday! Please enter me in the drawing!
Happy Birthday! I would love to be entered in today’s and saturdays (for the cake decorating dvd). I even linked you to my site.. http://www.xanga.com/lmramos99
I like them both! Either one would be great! Thanks!
Happy Birthday and thank you for your generous spirit!
Happy Birthday, Kathy!
Thank you for the giveaways. What a fun way to celebrate! The towel is really cute! I’m trying so hard to get into the autumn decorating mood. And whoever wins your DVD on Saturday will be especially blessed. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Cake Decorating DVD, and the Crochet DVD is on our wishlist!
I’ve blogged about your giveaways here… http://theferrillclan.blogspot.com/2008/09/giveaway-in-honor-of-kathys-birthday.html
Wow! This is fun. Thanks for sharing your birthday with all of us. I’d love to win the dishtowel, and a video would be sooo fun. Sign me up for the Crochet DVD.
Happy Birthday Kathy!!
I am looking forward to seeing all the giveaway’s.
So far they look wonderful and I’m sure the rest will equally.
I’m not really a cake Decorator, but, I Love to crochet. The only thing I know is the Granny Square, and I only make one `Big` Granny Square. I don’t know how to join the small squares.
I just love the `Autumn Hanging Towel`
Blessings,
Michelle
Oh, I forgot to tell you I put a link to you on my blog

Happy birthday! Thanks for having a give a way week, although you didn’t have to. But, that is very nice of you and I am glad you are. I would like to be signed up for a dvd for crocheting or cake decorating.
Thanks again!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I just found this site recently and am very excited. My 8 yr old daughter has been trying to teach herself to crochet (because I don’t know how) – we would really love to win the How to Crochet DVD!!
Happy, happy Birthday!!!
I’ll be visiting every day! I’ll be posting about your Birthday Celebration on our blog this evening.
It would be hard to choose between the two Saturday giveaways – if push came to shove, I’d choose the Crochet one, though.
Blessings -
Camille
I would like to be entered in the drawing for the Cake Decorating DVD.
Thank you.
Hello, I am new to your site and love it. I would like to be entered for the autumn towel and also for the crochet video on Saturday! We have wanted to learn how to crochet for awhile!
Tina
Happy Birthday!!!! I have been dreaming of your Cake Decorating DVD! Thanks for the chance to dream of winning it!
I will post a contest link on my blog! Thanks for all you share.
I’ve just come across your website, and enjoy what I see. Thanks for sharing! Cake decorating and crocheting are both skills that I would like to develope, but I will choose the cake decorating. I will definitely have to save up for some videos. Happy Birthday and thanks again!
