But for my birthday, since my husband lives...well...in Ohio...and I am in Salt Lake...I got to get my own gift. (Okay so that's really how it usually goes even if we are under the same roof). This year. I decided on one. And I can't wait to get it!!! It shipped yesterday!!!
Yep! I've advanced from the duct tape dress form! And I'm thrilled!!! If you're interested I got mine here after majorly studying the brands. (this one is used on Project Runway)
But because it's my birthday, I thought I would also do something fun! Hmmm... A Giveaway? Of 29 of my favorite things! And when the winner is announced I will also show you all what those 29 things happen to be!!! You won't want to miss it...
To enter, if you are still hanging out with me, leave a comment, and please share with me one of your favorite things!!! I'll choose the winner On Monday, which happens to be the 31st, sometime in the morning! Good luck!!!

One of my favorite things, the one to do with sewing it's my rotating cutting mat, in life just a pretty day watching the birds for a moment, in love a hug from my son.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (29..wow, that was a long time ago)
Favorite things...to have bought? My bias tape maker. In my life...my husband's laugh, and how he hums to himself in the morning.

Love your site! Happy Birthday. My favorite things right now is Heat and Bond and a little embroidery thread. Love that I can make cute shirts for my boys without a sewing machine.

Happy birthday! I hope it's a great one! I'm a pretty new sewist, and I must say that my favorite thing right now is simply my sewing machine. I can't get enough of it! I spend my 8-hour day at work pining for it.
Happy Birthday!
Isn't it fun to pick out your own gifts. I love that!
One of my favorite things is cookies!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I think my favorite thing right now is just spending time with my husband and our two babies. Can't get enough of them :)
Ok, I should win this one! Monday is my birthday -- the 31st and I'm turning 31! One of my favorite things (and all I've been thinking about lately) is Publix buttercream cake. I make everyones cake for their birthday but for my day I want that one specific grocery store cake. I only get it once a year and its my FAVORITE! Happy Birthday to you! Have a wonderful day!!
Fun! Now...my favorite thing {right now} is my sewing machine. After moving across the country and it being packed away for 8 months, it's like reuniting with an old friend. Be still me beating heart! :)
And, thanks to your blog I have so many new fun projects to try out!!
Happy Birthday! I'm 29 too, so I can relate! My favorite thing has to be caramelos, pizza, and my sewing machine. I've only had it a little over a year and it has really made me more happy! Oh, and my son and husband are up there too :)
You will love it!! I got it last year for mothers day. I always had a hard time sewing for myself :) My favorite thing right now is vinyl for walls. Have a happy happy birthday to you.

Right now, my favorite things are really beautiful family pictures, the ability to learn new things and being able to fit into a size I haven't been able to fit into in 10 years!
I have to say one of my favorite things can't be bought or given.....it's my childrens' laughs!
Happy Birthday Shannon!

Homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles.
Kool-aid.
Mango salsa.
My new iphone.
The old baby swing.

What a fun present! So glad you are back with family- hopefully the last few months will be easier for you and the boys! Hands down by far my favorite thing is popcorn and chocolate chip cookies! Serious addiction issues! :)

Happy Birthday! One of my favorite things is my watercolor set! :) Marcia
My favorite thing is my embroidery machine. well, now that I figured out its picky about what bobbins it likes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
My favourite thing at the moment is sleep.
I have a 10 month old who doesn't - sleep so neither do I.
But craft wise I LOVE template plastic, I use it for all my patterns and for stiffening the tool set I made my three year old. It is brilliant stuff.
One of my favorite things is chocolate...since I'm nursing my daughter right now and can't have any...it might be my #1 favorite thing. :)
Happy Birthday!!! YAY!! My favorite thing? A nap!! hehe. It's true.
happy birthday! one of my favorite things is my spray paint gun! makes it so much easier on the fingers!

Happy Birthday! And I am definitely going to have to go with...hot glue!!
Happy Birthday Shannon. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you before you left. I will try to get in touch with you when we go up there. My favorite thing....since you asked.....is caffeine. I know it's bad but I'm an addict. I have to at least one soda (coke zero with cherry or vanilla usually) a day or my day is pretty much shot.
Happy Birthday Shannon! I hope that it is a great one.....7 more months! My favorite thing....hmmmm......JB weld. It holds anything together that is broken.
It was great to hear from you today, sorry I didn't reply...we are out of town. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! How exciting! I hope that you had a great day!! :) As for favorite things, my favorite right now is a place with lots of wonderful things, it's Trader Joe's...I am LOVING that place!!! :)

One of my very most favorite things is reading your blog!!
OK this is cheesy but my hubby is my favorite thing.
Happy Birthday!
What a darling you are -- it's your birthday, and you're the one giving gifts!
My favorite thing is my Bernina. If anyone is wondering whether to buy a newer machine, the answer is, yes, yes, yes, yes, you should! Remember what all the men say; "You're only as good as your tools!"
Happy birthday young one! Sorry you have to be apart but what an awesome gift. I think one of my favorite things is pretty paper for an actual tangible thing and also being able to talk to strangers without fear...mostly.
Cool giveaway! One of my favorite things is pesto! Can't get enough of it.
Happy birthday!! I am so excited to see what they all are. And that is a really good gift. I say the thought of gifts are always nice, but sometimes it's even better when you get to buy your own!!! =)
