I like birthdays. I don't mind getting older - in fact my 30s have been the best years of my life. I'm lucky- I'm healthy, I'm happy, and I have the best family and friends in the world. It doesn't get better than that.
Plus after being a breast cancer survivor, I don't take birthdays for granted.
So for my birthday I thought I would share one of my favorite things with you, my friends.
You know how much I love Aurifil- it makes my machine sing and is a dream to sew with. So today I am going to share some with you!
In fact, I am going to choose 4 winners. Each of you will receive one multipak of Aurifil threads.
To enter, simply leave a comment telling me your favorite way to celebrate your birthday. (Make sure your email address is included if you are a no-reply blogger or else I will need to choose someone else.)
I'll pick a winner next Tuesday.
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!! All I need is friends and family. Everything else is icing on the cake...which is always great :)
I hope you have an amazing birthday! I just started sewing last month, and I'm looking forward to making lots of quilts, using your blog and work as inspiration!
Thanks!

My birthdays are generally very low-key affairs. But, celebrating with extra sewing time would be a top choice.
Happy birthday to you!
My favorite way to celebrate my birthday...
Breakfast in bed, time with family, dinner at a favorite restaurant and nothing but REST AND RELAXATION in between :)
We usually combine birthdays by the month in order to get them all in! We always spend them with family, have our favorite meal and dessert. Thanks for sharing these beautiful threads! And, Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!
My favorite way to celebrate is to go out to eat with my kids!
Since I have a December birthday I like to hit the slopes - to intertube! The kids are still fairly young and they love it!
Have a great birthday and thanks for a great giveaway!

Happy Birthday, and you do have so much to be thankful for!! I have none of this wonderful thread, but know it is the BEST!! Would love to have this wonderful little bundle. Have a wonderful, happy day surrounded by those you love!!
Happy Birthday to you!! My favorite way to spend my birthday is with my husband, kids (6) and grandkids (2)!!
There just is nothing like burning cake and ice cream calories by laughing!
Happy Happy Birthday!
Sorry, I forgot to leave my email!!!
gladystan.dawn@gmail.com I would love to win! Thank you :)
Happy birthday Jennifer! I *totally* agree, I love my 30's! Definitely the best decade so far. I'm hoping it just keeps getting better. I love spending my birthday's with my hubby and kids, nothing fancy, just some family time.
The best birthday for me would be spent at a concert with friends :) In two weeks I will be going to see Pearl Jam 3 times! It will *feel* like my birthday...and Christmas too! lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love to celebrate my birthday with a nice dinner with my hubby at a restaurant I have been waiting to try. This year I changed things up and saw Harry Potter (yay), went bowling, and then went out for dinner with friends and family. It was a big day and turned out really nice. Hopefully your day does too!

Doing something new or different.
For my b'day this year, we drove 70 miles north from my city to your city to see Metalmorphosis, the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibit at the Bechtler and a great dinner at Capital Cafe = came home tired but had a great day
My birthdays need cake, a pinata, and a tiara. Sweets, something to whack! and something sparkly to wear. Perfect! :)
At 57 Birthday's seem to come around quickly....I too don't mind the age thing - I enjoy having a "do what you want to do" day....no schedule....just spending time with family!
Happy, happy birthday!!! I hope yours is lovely! My birthdays usually involve my family singing (loudly) and a Pepperidge Farm chocolate fudge cake...and I get dibs on the corner piece with extra frosting. Mmmmmmmm.
Happy Birthday!
I love sewing all day - and a nice dinner at home. That's the best!
My favourite way is dinner out with family. I have all day to look forward to it! Thanks for the chance and love your blog.
I don't particularly care to go out for dinner so I simply would like to have our 3 girls home for dinner (and gosh, can I dream about no bickering??! :-) ).
If they *really* want to take me someplace, an ice cream cone would be delightful. :-)
I'm just very grateful to have a wonderful, healthy family.
Wow - you have the same birthday as my youngest brother, Steve! - you have a great day - I enjoy my birthday celebrating with all of my kids and grandkids! Cathy K - cakilliany@hotmail.com
Happy Birthday!!! My birthday is September 10th and one of my daughter's birthday's is September 14th. It's a great month to be born:)
I like to celebrate by just relaxing with my family. It would be nice to get take-out so I don't have to cook dinner!
Wishing you a very happy birthday!! My favorite way to celebrate is time with my family (and not having to cook or do dishes!! )
My favorite birthdays are always with my family! And I don't take my birthdays for granted either...I am also a breast cancer survivor!
I'm a big birthday celebrator - for others, not necessarily for myself - and I always start out the special day saying a prayer of thanks for the parents who gave us the person being celebrated. Happy 37th to you!
Happy Birthday Jennifer! Have a wonderful day and, if Mr Random picks me, tell him to go and pick someone else instead! But I like to spend my birthday with my family - wow, I'm not very original! X
I love being with my Family. Love being with my Grandchildren. My husband and my birthday is on the same day. So we all celebrate together.

Happy 37th birthday, and congratulations on being a survivor. Sometimes it takes a hard knock in your life to make you thankful for what you have, doesn't it? I try to remember, but sometimes the "pity me" days still rear their ugly head.
I'd love to win me some of those threads. I'm a fairly new quilter, and I'm building up my fabric and thread slowly but surely. I'd love to have me some of these unbelievably wonderful threads, though. It would feel like MY birthday if I won!
And how do I celebrate my birthdays? Well, I'm almost 60, and I haven't really celebrated my birthday in quite a few years. It's just another day. Kinda sad, but that's what happened years ago when the family kinda quit celebrating it, so it's been that way ever since.
I'll be 50 in a week! Have to say that it's taken me some time to adjust to that number in regards to me, but I think I'm there. I really just want to spend my day being aware and grateful for the people in my life.
Happy Birthday! My favorite way to celebrate is to spend the day with my husband, children, and now grandchildren. Thanks for the great giveaway. I love aurifil thread.
Happy Happy Birthday to you! Birthdays are the biggest holidays in this household, another year to make our own!
We generally celebrate the entire month with special dinners of favorite foods, fun cupcakes, little gifts off and on throughout the month of those things we say "wish I had that" or "wouldn't it be kewl to have that". Little surprises.
And thank you for an awesome giveaway.
mborck AT charter DOT net
Hope you've celebrated in style!
My favourite way would be to wrap up warm (my birthday is in December) and walk my favourite beach and the snuggle up with the children and hot chocolate!
thanks for the giveaway
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I'm with you. As a fellow survivor, still in treatment for Stage IV bone mets, every day is a celebration and is made all the better when fabric and thread are involved. On my real birthday, having my five children and two grandsons with me makes the day more perfect than I could imagine. Family is everything.
Happy Birthday Jennifer !!Have a great day. How sweet of you to celebrate your birthday with a giveaway.
My birthday is in May and some years falls on Mother's Day. So I luck out and have double celebrations. I just love having my both kids home if possible. My son is in the USMC and my daughter going to school so when they both are here it's extra special.
Thanks again for the giveaway and have a great holiday weekend!!
Happy, Happy Birthday. For me the best way to celebrate my birthday (#61 on 10/12) is to have my children and their families join my husband and I for a family BBQ.
Hope your day is filled with blessings.
Gail
Happy Birthday!! I'm glad you cherish each day...each are gifts! My favorite way to spend my birthday-listen up hubby-is buying fabric with a gift certificate at the quilt store!
Hapy Birthday!
My fav way to celebrate my birthday is with fireworks! It helps that I am in Independence Day gal. Thank you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday...I like to celebrate at home with friends and family...we have a tradition that we give all the kids under the age of 18 gifts at our own birthday party. After all...our kids are our most precious gifts of all to us..so every adult that attends brings a gift for all the kids at the party...
I know it sounds weird that we the adult do not get the gift..but like I said we already have our gift our family....
mcwooten1999@carolina.rr.com
Being a cancer survivor, what a great everyday reason to celebrate!
I recently celebrated my birthday thankful that I could spend it with my stage IV husband. Quilting is my passion also and I would love to try these threads!
Happy Birthday, favorite birthday is to have the whole day to myself and have dinner w/friends.
Happy Birthday!!! Wishing you joy, love, fun, and creativity in the coming year and always. My favorite way to celebrate my birthday is a week at the Oregon Coast. I walk and walk, filling my pockets with shells and feathers. If I can't get to the beach, I spend the week dyeing, printing, sewing, and creating. Meals are from the freezer and the house takes care of itself (sort of).
I was born on August 16 and I like to celebrate my birthday dive and swim in the wonderful sea of Liguria where I live
ivana.dagnino@yahoo.it
Happy Birthday Jennifer. I too enjoyed my 30's, but actually, I think they keep getting better and better.
I no longer think of my Birthday as a day to celebrate, but I enjoy celebrating Life in my Birthday "window". If a toddler gets a day to celebrate and someone that turns 100 gets a year to celebrate, it certainly seems as we get older we need more time to celebrate, thus I like to recognize birthday "windows". Plus, no one is ever late at recognizing a birthday!
On my 50th I invited my quilty friends to a party where we made quilts to raise funds for Susan G. Komen For The Cure. I set a personal goal of raising $50k and I'm pleased to say I surpassed it. It was a fun way to celebrate turning 50.
May you always have good health and enjoy your birthday "windows".

Happy Birthday! And thanks for the great giveaway-I've heard such good things about this thread. I'm dying to try it! On my birthday, I'm happy eating out, so I don't have to cook or do the dishes!
Spending time with my family. Happy Birthday!
I usually celebrate my birthdays with a family dinner at my parents house. Happy Birthday!
Well I don;t have family near me so I go to my fb page and enjoy all the comments and well wishes from all my fb family...that can be a lot of well wishes to read as I have more than 1,000 friends. I enjoyed my 55th birthdays just reading and talking with all the well wishers.
Thank you for yet another opportunity to win this wonderful threads Quilt of Many Angels can never get too much thread! :) Good luck to everyone! xoxoxo [[hugs]]
Seeing a Johnny Depp Movie of my choice with my sweetie (my bday is in July, there always seems to be a new release right around my day!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Happy birthday!
My favorite birthday celebration involves time with my man exploring somewhere new—be it a quilt shop, a new city, an antique mall—anywhere.
Happy Birthday! Is it bad to admit that I like to spend some of my birthday alone? I'm with kids all the time, it's nice to get a break :)
♪♪♪Happy Birthday♪♪♪, to you. My husband and I were born 4 years and 2 weeks apart, so we usually do something wonderful together. Favorite is a cruise, or hanging out with our kids and grandkids. This year we all went to a Dodger game.
Happy Birthday to a fellow breast cancer survivor!! I love to just spend time with my family for my birthday - because I never thought I would be able to! And now I have three grandchildren!
Happy Birthday, and congratulations on being a survivor, I love to hear stories of those who have beaten cancer. For my birthday I like to spend time with my family, usually we do something together like going to the local zoo or gardens, then out to dinner. Just having my family together and healthy is best gift.
Happy Birthday!!! Although I love hearing from friends & family on my birthday I prefer to ignore the phone & email and listen to all the well wishes the following day or late on my birthday night. That way I can spend my birthday focusing on the friends and family I have with me on the day. Also, once everyone is asleep I stay up very late by myself to think about the last year and the one to come and play with my presents if I've received any!!! This year it was a design wall for quilting! Never used Aurifil, am dying to try. Thanks for your generosity on your special day!
For my Birthday I get up early and work outside in my garden all day and look forward to whatever I want for dinner. (usually chinese). Simple yes, but no interruptions all day is a gift in itself.
Happy birthday! I like to celebrate with cake. And some family and friends, if they let me eat the biggest piece. :)
Happy Birthday Jennifer! I hope your day is filled with all the things you love the most. I don't really have a favorite way to celebrate my birthday but I will say that any birthday where I am not given a puppy is a good one! :)
Blessings!
Happy Happy birthday!!!! I just had my 37th. For my bday, my boyfriend and I went to high tea. (He remembered I had said I really wanted to do it someday) It was lovely!
I like to celebrate with my family - and NOT make meals that day! A day off from chores is the best present!
Happy Birthday! I love spending my birthday with family and friends, just hanging out is my idea of fun. Thanks for the opportunity to win your lovely giveaway.
Happy, happy birthday!! My favorite thing is to be surrounded by friends, just hanging out. We usually have a cookout or something. Hope your day is fabulous!!
Happy Birthday to you!
I'm a different type birthday person. I feel like it is my day so I spend it enjoying me time doing something just for myself. Then I treat the family to a nice restaurant evening meal to celebrate. LOL
Happy Birthday Jennifer! Maybe it's selfish to celebrite birthday alone but that's they way I like it.I pamper myself whole day and do things I usually don't have time to do.
Dear Jennifer,
Happy Birthday!
I don't mind getting older either. I don't think it matters if you are 34 oder 37 oder 41. It's all about ones spirits and minds - I know 23 year olds that are older than some woman in there 70ies I have met.
I like to bake a good cake and invite some friends over to have a nice "kaffee und kuchen" (coffee and cake) ,as we say in German. Sit at a big table, slip coffee , eat cakes and talk.... (And ignore the chaos the kids who are running around create *g*).
I would love to win, because I could not finish my piecing for the QAL last night because I run out of pink thread. So I took my 4 year old and my baby to drive to JoAnn today to buy a REAL BIG spool of pink thread - and there was NONE! In the hole huge JoAnn not one big spool of pink thread - Holy crab! So I just bought a 100 yard spool.
In revenge , I left the store without a single scrap of fabric. Ha!
Enjoy your day,
Greetings,
Tina
Happy Birthday! I don't mind getting older either, I turned 57 last April. I hope your day si a special one. I love to spend my birthday with my hubby. We love to go out to lunch and browse antique shops. Later in the day I like to have my grandchildren visit to share in cake and sing happy birthday. The simple days are the best.
Happy Birthday! What a kind & generous way to celebrate! I especially love to go out to dinner with my family - even better if it's to try a new restauarant!
Happy birthday! I love to celebrate my birthday with family! And, I love to have cheesecake for dessert (anytime, not just my birthday.)
Happy birthday! I just turned 37 in May! I just love having my 2 beautiful girls and my wonderful husband to celebrate my birthday with ! He always buys me a cake and then the following weekend I celebrate it again with my Mom and Dad and sister and her husband and my new niece! I think you must be a helluva woman to have beaten cancer and being able to celebrate another birthday! YAY You!
I love having my family together on my birthday!
Happy Birthday!
I love to spend my b-days at the spa or something relaxing and a nice dinner with my hubby.
We have a four-year-old miracle. Celebrating my birthday with him and my husband by letting our son blow out our candles over and over is the best. Happy birthday! Have a great holiday weekend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I usually take myself shopping. Then a dinner out with my family has been a tradition that I have enjoyed. As my kids grow up and leave the nest I haven't had to transition much, dinner out is just with my husband, but we go to nicer places now.
mdcrkc@aol.com
I enjoy going to dinner with the family and having a big cake afterwards :)
I too am a breast cancer survivor and don't take birthdays for granted...even if I have a few on you :) thanks for the chance to win . My Oct birthday will probably see a home celebration as 3 of my 4 kids are off at school so the remaining daughter hubs and I will celebrate here...thank goodness my husband is a terrific cook.
I usually go out for lunch with my husband to celebrate. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! It was my birthday on Monday, I spent the day on the wilderness of exmoor with no phone signal or internet having a blissful break from the world! xxx
Happy Birthday, Dear Jennifer, Happy Birthday to you!
My favorite way to celebrate my birthday is to have a "birth month" celebration. I celebrate all month (july) long with family and friends doing different lunches, dinners and get togethers! I hope your birthday is fantastic.
Happy Birthday!
My favorite way to celebrate is to go out and eat sushi!
On Tuesday I will be celebrating my birthday by buying a French Silk pie.. YUMMMY!!! Happy Birthday to you too!
Biscuits and Gravy for Breakfast.
Sewing on new fabric.
Getting lots of birthday cards!
I turned 65 on August 26 so I can tell you exactly what I like to do on my birthday. Went to early dinner with my son & husband and spent the majority of the day in my sewing room!!

my favorite tradition each year that i make sure to keep up for my birthday is going to eat at Benihana's with my husband. The food is AMAZING and so is the company! Birthdays are the best! Happy Birthday!
Can't say as that I have any "favorite" ways to celebrate, but I try to take the day off of work. Something about being at work on your birthday just isn't right!
What a beautiful post. Congratulations on your 37th. I'm 65 and I still like birthdays too, especially spent with family. Thanks for the giveaway.
Happy birthday!!
My birthdays are rather low key with going out for dinner with my family. At some point I end up going on a treasure hunt for sour candy my husband hides around the house.
HAPPY bIRTHDAY!!! This yr was my BIG one "5-0" lol My hunny gave me a suprize party on my b-day (which was in June) and my mom gave a swimming party on the wkend. That's kind of party she use to give me when I was little. It was great!!!
Thx for the giveaway.
Happy, Happy Birthday to you!
We're pretty low key about birthdays. My husband and I have birthdays that are only a month apart, so we usually pick a day in the middle and get a babysitter so we can go out to dinner by ourselves. We try to pick an interesting restaurant we wouldn't take the kids to. I give him a short list of a few nice things I'd like and make him choose one. Even though I picked it out, it's still more special because he got it for me. We used to buy our own presents, but that really missed the element of giving that makes a present special.
Favorite way to celebrate? Pretty much by having a lazy day off! I really don't like birthday parties, but a nice dinner out is always fun!
I dont do this anymore since I am an adult but so far my favorite way to celebrate my birthday was until I was 16 my grandparents would take us to dinner and then to any store to pick a present. Now that I am older I really cherish those birthdays with them!
I love to celebrate my birthday MONTH!!! Mine is the 2nd day of the month, as well, and I use it as an excuse all month to play. I love to be with my family on the day and then I have all kinds of suggestions of things to do "because it is my birthday month". I do these with family, friends, students, or just about anyone I can get to play along. hehehe
Happy birthday! My favorite way to celebrate my birthday is to stay home, pajamafied, all day, and have my special someone cook a great birthday dinner.
Oh my goodness. I can't believe I forgot!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Hugs and Love!
Happy, happy, day! Birthdays are fun but also time to reflect on the achievements of the year past. Great thread giveaway! Thanks! Suz
Happy Birthday, Jennifer! Congratulations on such a happy outlook on life. I feel the same way...another birthday means another year of life, for the good and bad. Every other year, my husband and I take a road trip to the UF/Vandy football game and it's always around my birthday. We go to a fancy dinner and have quality time together and I love it. But the off years are special too because I get lots of hugs from my kiddos and my subscription to Southern Living renewed by my Mother-in-Law!! :)
Hope your day is great!!
Happiest of Birthdays to You!! What a special day for you. We celebrate birthdays with both families with a simple lunch and then cake and homemade ice cream. All my children but one are grown but they still celebrate the way we have for years. Carrying on tradition you could say! You have a wonderful birthday!!
Tammy (3n1family@frontiernet.net)
happy birthday!!! i love to celebrate with just an ice cream cake and my loved ones with me... very simple but fun!
Happy Birthday! My birthday comes 4 weeks after Christmas and the weather is often bad so nobody wants or feels like doing anything. If my other half is around (he's in the army) I actually like to do something with him because he will put me first on my birthday..unlike my family who only want to celebrate it on their terms. When I have my next milestone birthday I'm going to drag it out all year with fun and celebrations and trying new things!
Happy Birthday! I hope you're having a great time. I just had my birthday a couple of weeks ago and asked for "a day". Just time spent together and it was wonderful. Everybody is so busy, it was nice to just be together.
Happy Birthday! Family birthdays are the best. Hope yours is for sure!
Happy Birthday dear friend!
Hope it is a lovely one with family and loved ones - pressies are cool too, but surrounded by your favourite people has to be the best xxx
I love to be pampered for my birthday with dinner and no clean-up and lots of laughs!!
Have the best birthday ever! I like to take my birthday off from work and spend the day with my family. My husband makes me the best German Chocolate cake and we skype my daughter who's away at college.
i just like to be told "happy b'day" by my husband. he has forgotten too many years in the last 35. and to be taken out to eat. something i don't have to cook or clean up after.
Happy birthday! To me a nice bday relaxing at home with my husband.
Happy Birthday! My favorite part of birthday's now is the excitement my kids have over them :)
happy birthday :) the best b-day for me is staying home and no 'to do' list (you know the clean up, wash the...list)and of course lots and lots of sweet yummy things to eat ;) hope your's is great
I love to spend the day doing something fun with my family and a nice dinner out.
we share a birthday!!!! so let's both have a happy one :)
Happy birthday! My favorite way to celebrate: cupcakes! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
ALL OF MY LOVED ONES AROUND ME+ALL OF US WELL, IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY OF ALL! THANKS SO FOR YOUR BLOG+AREALLY SWEET GIVEAWAY!
jldouglas@wispwest.net
I like to celebrate my birthday by being surrounded by my family. Maybe play some board games too. I love board games! Happy birthday to you!
My favorite way to spend my birthday is to be with my family. xo Happy Birthday to you!! :)
I like to spend time with my family, eat a great dessert and relax. No housework at all gets done by me on my birthday. Happy Birthday Jennifer, hope it's a great one!
Happy Birthday!
After surviving a pulmonary embolism last year, my favorite way to celebrate my birthday is just by being alive...almost didn't make it..so I am grateful for every day. We usually go out for dinner and it makes me happy to have all of my family that can come be there...My parents, my children and my husband..
It surely has changed over the years! Now, a great dinner and iTunes can make me happy, or some quilting bucks, as the hubbs calls them, to celebrate. Best way is just with him and the kids. Having that granddaughter in my lap is it!
My favorite way to spend my birthday is to celebrate with family. My husband usually takes the whole gang out to dinner.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to you!!! I love celebrating with dinner and family game night! :)
Happy Birthday !!!! The only thing I need for my Birthday is my family and friends. Knowing I have had another year with my wonderful
husband. I love this thread.
wheezer@bellsouth.net
Oh happy birthday! I hope it's fabulous (: I'd say my favorite way to celebrate my birthday is pretty much anything with my family and friends, even if it's just a dinner at home and a cake!
I enjoy spending time with family and friends on my birthday. Happy Birthday! By the way my sewing machine loves this thread.
Happy Birthday!! A trip to the spa is always nice but eating cake with my family is my favorite thing!
Hey, my b-day was 8/27 and next year I turn 40 so to celebrate I started a weekly journal quilt project and invited anyone to join. I have 20 members and I know this is going to be a great year.
I love just being with my family on my bday and enjoying a dinner I DON"T have to cook!! :) hehe!
I've been slacking in the commenting department, but really wanted to wish you a very happy & blessed birthday! :)
Happy happy birthday Jennifer! I too love birthdays and I like to celebrate mine with scratch made chocolate cake with coffee chocolate frosting. Yum. Hope you enjoy your day and many more to you!
I went for about 7 years not celebrating my BD, Christmas or any holidays. Recently I was reunited with my daughter, and this year I will get to celebrate my birthday (Nov. 21) with her for the first time in a long time. AND with the new grandaughter! I just love to have a quiet day with family. I have missed that a lot. And I think I'll order pizza so I won't have to cook!
Happy birthday - i love birthdays. I am to far away from my siblings and my parents are gone but i am trully blessed to have three wonderful friends and together we call ourselves the "sisterhood". We get togehter every birthday, each gathering differs but usually all the family members join in. Sometimes a restaurant, sometimes a dinner at home, but always together. there used to be five of us but we lot one to cancer which made the remaining four of us really appreciate and care for each other!
Happy Birthday. I love to spend my day with my family enjoying their company with good food and lots of love and laughter. Enjoy your day.
Happy Birthday to you!!! They are precious, aren't they?! A day at home with my family and not having to cook and maybe a little sewing time sounds like the perfect day to me! :)
Happy birthday! Just being with my friends and family is all I need. A nice dinner and some ice cream cake is usually involved, too ;)
Happy Birthday from one breast cancer survivor to another. I wish us both many more birthdays to come.
I love my birthday. Always have. I don't need to do anything special. I'm quite content to go about my day thinking to myself, "Hey! It's my birthday! Ya! It's my birthday!". Of course, there's always cake.
How I would love to try these much talked about Aurifil threads. I've never seen any in captivity.
Happiest of Birthday wishes to you.
I love to spend my birthday getting pampered and eating cake!
For many years I have celebrated my birthday by starting the day with a slice of b'day cake for breakfast. Yum. And I take the day off, too, 'cause I can (I'm self-employed). Hope you have a wonderful birthday, and many more.
I have loved spending time with my family for my birthday, but I have to say my best birthday for a while now has been my 40th. Hubby surprised me with tickets to see Mama Mia on Broadway (we live in GA), dinner, and a hotel on Times Square. Very cool!
Have a wonderful birthday! I like to celebrate my birthday at my moms house with all my family around. Nothing is better than spending that day with the people you love. And that fabulose confetti cake my mom makes! :)
Happy Birthday! I like to have family over and have dinner and cake. Of course they bring the food so I dont have to cook.
Happy Birthday! Yeah, well, umm, celebrate my birthday, after I hit 50 I prety much just stoped celebrating my birthday. We usually go out to dinner if neither of us are working the next day.
Oohh....I love Aurifil! Happy Birthday!! My favorite way to celebrate is to do something fun with my kids and to be pampered by my husband :)
Happy Birthday Jennifer! Love the cake photo...too bad you can't send slices of it for the giveaway!!
I am using my first ever spool of Aurifil right now and it is fantastic. All I have is this one in white and would be truly excited to win a bit more. Thanks for this wonderful birthday giveaway.
Hope your Birthday is the most wonderful ever. I will be 65 in a few months. My wish is to be surrounded by friends and family. Like your Blog.
SallyKingemail@gmail.com
Happy Birthday! The last few years I've spent my birthday at a quilting retreat! Very fun!
Happy Birthday.
I like spending my birthday with my husband and my dog!
Happy Happy Birthday!! I am a September birthday too, but I will be turning 41.
I hope you are having FUN!!! For my birthday, I just like a quiet dinner with my family!!!
Happy Birthday again!!!
Happy Birthday. Each birthday is a blessing. I love to spend mine with family and friends.
Happy Birthday, Jennifer. On my birthday, I like to have lunch with my friends and dinner with my family, no presents, please! At every birthday, life gets better and better. Have no regrets! Aurifil is my favorite thread and I would be so pleased to win one of your packets!
Birthdays are a big deal in our family. Generally we celebrate a small one with just my hubby and kid, their favorite meal is made. Than we have the other fmaily members over the weekend closest to the birthday. Lots of food and laughter. beebarph@hotmail.com
I'm happiest spending my birthday having a quiet evening with my family. Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday!!!
My birthday is September 10th!!!
This year the only thing that I've said is an absolute MUST for my birthday is Birthday Cake flavored ice cream...it's my very favorite.
happy birthday & i'm with a lot of others. all i need are friends & family & i'm a happy camper! btw, i agree, the 30's are awesome! :)
My favorite way is to have my whole family and silly presents from the dollar store, preferably involving ladybugs and/or hearts. And chocolate cake of course
Happy Birthday!!!!!
My favorite thing is going to my Mom's house and she makes breakfast for supper. She hates gravy so that's the only time she makes it. YUM
Wishing you a very happy birthday! I hope you have fun.
I'll be celebrating my birthday next week. I've just realised my daughter will be in pre-school for the day so maybe I'll get to have lunch with a friend and then go for dinner with OH and DD later! I love my little family :)
Thanks for your lovely giveaway - so generous of you. I'd definitely consider it a birthday present if I were to win!
I love celebrating my birthday with friends, family, and my children. :) In fact, my birthday is one month from today too!

A very happy birthday to you! I also celebrated my birthday this week!
I always celebrate with my kids and my mother. They are so special to me. I love the quiet relaxing time we're able to spend eating and chatting.
Thank you for the lovely giveaway, what a nice gesture. ;)
I like to have all my kids come over and make me dinner! Have a great birthday!
Happy Birthday!
I always have 'birthday breakfast' at my mum's house, where it's a family tradition that everyone gets a 'non-birthday' present - a great way for everyone to enjoy my birthday!! :) She started this when my sister and I were young so we wouldn't get too jealous. They are only little gifts but it's so much fun!
Thanks xx
My husband & I were born on the same day, same month, same year, in the same hospital so we share birthdays. How else could I enjoy celebrating my birthday than celebrating his birthday with him so we choose a restaurant we both like & have a lovely dinner together & just enjoy each other's company. It's been 37 years of celebrating our birthdays together & each year just gets better. Happy Birthday to you & I hope you're birthday is as enjoyable as our's always is. (bwgarner@pclnet.net)
Happy Birthday!
I like to spend my birthday with my family and friends, and baking cakes etc with my children. I love how excited the children are when they give presents! Thats the best thing, seeing the excitement in their eyes :)

HaPpY BiRtHdAy, JeNniFeR!! Cake is the best part with family and friends . . . cake is my favorite :o)
Happy Birthday! I will be turning 37 in a couple of months and I completely agree that the 30s are great. Enjoy your day!
I would love to spend my birthdays with my family but it doesn't usually work out tht way. But I do get calls from them all!
Here's my email addy. hulseybg@gmail.com
I like have some time away with just me and my husband. No little children asking for 5000 things or interrupting every conversation! :)
What a nice giveaway! Happy Birthday to you, you young thing. I have mixed feelings about my birthdays! I do like to get a pedicure. My birthday is tomorrow! I'll be 5?, I can't remember. :)
Birthdays at the beach are the best :) I hope you had a great one!
Happy Birthday! Congratulations on al your blessings, and survival, too.
My friend and I celebrated our birthdays (3 days apart) in NYC last March at the Red and White quilt show, and going to City Quilter. That was great. Love birthday cake, too.
Happy Birthday! I love simple bdays -- ice cream, cards full of well wishes, sunshine. hope yours is marvelous
Happy Day of Your Birth!
I'm not so big on attention, so I like a pretty quiet birthday. A simple dinner with close family and maybe an outing of my choosing. I'm thinking the LACMA for my upcoming birthday.
Oh I love love love a dairy queen ice cream cake... We've tried others but it's just nit the same. Dq does it best!
Happy birthday and congrats on another year of surviving the battle! You are a hero!!
Happy Birthday Jennifer! To celebrate my birthday, I like to go out for dinner with my husband and son. Mexican food is my favorite, so chips, salsa, enchiladas, margaritas and flan are all on the menu!
Happy Birthday, Jennifer! My favorite thing about birthdays is just feeling special all day. Sounds silly, but when you're an adult, it kind of seems like a secret. I mean , you can't act like a child & announce it to everyone! So, you go about your day & all through the random interactions with strangers you're thinking "it's my birthday today! And tonight I am going to eat cake after the kids sing to me!"
Happy Birthday! I kind of get a thrill if my birthday slips by unnoticed ... my husband being the exception - he BETTER remember!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy!! Just a simple day enjoying my fiber obsessions is my preferred way to spend a birthday! Going out to dinner isn't a bad thing either :)
Happy birthday!
MY favourite way to spend my birthday: crafting with my DD, and dinner with my family.
Happy, HEALTHY birthday. So glad to hear the continuing good news about your health. My favorite way to celebrate my birthday is dinner/movie with my family capped off by handmade birthday cards from my daughters.
Well happy birthday to you! Hope you've had a wonderful day :o)
I love to spend my birthday with my family and friends, preferably not in work lol
Happy birthday Jennifer! :D
I love to celebrate my birthday by having a nice quiet dinner at home with my family followed by a big piece of cake!
I like to celebrate with my parents and sister by going to a favorite place to eat. Sometimes I like to do a girls day too! BTW I too as a cancer survivor treasure each birthday.
Happy birthday!!!!
I hope you got to celebrate with a great dinner surrounded by those you love! I love to celebrate by having someone else fixing and cleaning up all three meals on my birthday, that is all I ask for and enjoy the most!
Happy Birthday, Jennifer!
I'm 37, too! :-)
I like to have a whole day to myself to sew on my birthday (I NEVER work this special day) - and then go out for pizza with my husband and kids!
I like to spend my birthday with my dear husband, a quiet dinner and perhaps a movie. Usually go to my favorite quilt shop to buy something special.
I like to go to a place like "Color Me Mine" or the Painted Plate" and make a painted pottery piece. My 2 little girls and even my husband get to paint their own pieces so it is a lot of fun for everyone!!
Happy birthday!
In my family, we celebrate birthdays a little different than everyone else. For as long as I can remember, birthdays are celebrated all week long. Since my birthday is on the last day of January, we start a week earlier and start celebrating until the day of my birthday. It's a lot of fun! Earlier this January we had a entire box of vegan chocolate cupcakes to ourselves. It's a wonderful tradition that we all love to celebrate.
Happy Birthday! I have to say that I like your attitude, and I feel the same way about birthdays! Congrats on your survival of the Big B . . . I just got diagnosed last week, and met my doctors today. :)
For many years my sister and I (we're twins)went to the county fair every year. Now we've married and move to different parts of the state and I treat myself to a night at the casino.
My grandpa's birthday is two days after mine, so until we moved to IL 3 years ago, we'd have a family birthday party together every year. He always jokes that I'm older than him because my birthday is first. :)
Now I'm content to spend the evening at home with my husband... so long as there's cake. :)
Happy Birthday! You look so young, must be that happy glow. As for birthday celebrations, low key is good for me. Time with family is all I need -- well, besides sewing time.
Happy Birthday Jennifer! I agree 30s are the best. I've only been in them a couple of years but I feel like I can now do what I enjoy and not what everyone wants for me. My last b'day, I was given a LOT of money, put in by my dear friends and husband. It was special because Tim's been looking for work for a few months so we've had to be extra careful with money. So I got to sit with my laptop and a coffee, in my PJs, and buy a whole lot of fabric I'd had my eye on for a while! My mum recovered from breast cancer this year. It's a very anchoring experience, isn't it? xx
Well happy happy birthday, doll!
Now I really know you'll be enjoying the long weekend! Go out, do it up, and blow some cash on a fancy dinner and great wine! Yum!
Happy Birthday!!
I normally celebrate with my family or best friends. We just having a simple dinner at local restaurant..
I like to spend time with my family on my birthday. I don't care if we have a party---I just like to be together.
Happy birthday! I have made my birthday (and mother's day) an official "no cooking" day so that, in itself, makes me happy! Thanks for sharing presents on your birthday.
My favorite birthdays are those with lots of peace and quiet, cake, ice cream, and a few presents.
