A Few of My Favourite Things (Shops) 



(full disclosure: I have and do shop at all of these businesses! I don't have any blog sponsors. I asked my favourite shops if they would help me celebrate and they all said yes, and donated something special for me to share with you!! How cool is that!! 
(I'm a very good shopper, just don't tell my husband, lol)

Each Logo is a link to the  sponsoring Shops, take a look around, show them all some love...
you have all week to complete your Birthday Celebration Entry,
let the shops know why you're visiting.
Hopefully you'll find a new place to get inspiration and products you love...
but most of all... have fun...
Good Luck everyone.

    Happy Birthday, Sandy! When I started to read this post, I wanted to comment to tell you that 50 is a great birthday! I remember when I turned 50 and thinking that I was a half century old. A quarter of a tricentennial, LOL! Then I kept reading and saw the fun you're having planning the giveaway. WOW! Great stuff.Thanks.

    Happy Birthday! I hope you're having fun! It is so sweet of you to bring us into your celebration. I know you're doing this great giveaway, but I hope you manage to pick up a little something for yourself. It is odd getting older isn't it? There are many things I am enjoying in my fifties that I never thought would be true. I hope this decade and all the ones following are full of love, laughter, and good health for you and your loved ones! Magistra13 at yahoo dot com

    Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day and dance like no one is looking! Look at this way when I was little I was a wee bit precocious. I told the man who was dating my mom that at 28 he was over the hill---hey I was 3--at three 10 is ancient and wise! Anyway once you are past 28 it is all smooth sailing from that perspective.

    I would choose the helicopter and firetruck patterns and sew them up for a certain cute two year old boy!

    Hope you are still celebrating your birthday. It is your 50th - the celebration should last just a bit longer. Don't you agree?
    Hope this birthday is the best so far. It is really generous of you that you are including us in your special day. Hugs & Best Wishes to you. Teapot & Woodland Creatures are my favorite picks.
    Thank you for your sweet comment on my blogpost Curry Favor. I have emailed to you the link for the original pattern.

    Happy birthday, Sandy. I'm so happy I have "met" you on IG, you are one of the sweetest there. Thank you for the mini quilt pattern. I think that is brilliant using chalkboard fabric to personalize it! Just love that!!

    I love Quiet Play's patterns, she is one of my favorites for FPP patterns. I have made her Create and really want to attack the lego heads.
    I would pick knitting and sushi patterns. Thanks for the giveaway, Sandy!

    So fun meeting with you on Instagram and being inspired by you. The worldwide sewing/quilting community is amazing and this support from your favorite shops is proof. The birthday cake chalkboard is sweet and has been added to my to-do list. (Luckily most of our birthdays are in the fall so I have some time!) HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY Sandy!
