Best Birthday I Ever Had

When I was 8 years old, my birthday was on Friday, the 13th. This is the first time I can remember it being on a Friday.

In 1983, Cabbage Patch Kids were the biggest thing to hit the toy market. Parents were wrestling these chubby cheeked funny looking kids supposedly born in a cabbage patch. My cousin worked at Mervins and helped my grandmother secure one for my birthday. I was so very excited that I placed my new friend in the basket of my pink Huffy and rode all over the neighborhood to show everyone.

Ever since then, the number 13th has been my favorite number and I get extra excited when my day falls on a Friday. When I was pregnant, I even wanted to name my son, Thirteen. Since my husband thought I was insane, we ended up naming him, Dustin.

Emmie Bee's Great Felt Food Giveaway

Emmie Bee's son (both of whom I am related to) celebrated his first b-day in January. Happy belated b-day, little cuz! It was quite a shindig and all the family was there.
Anyway, one of the coolest presents he received was 3 lunch bags full of felt food. These were totally amazing and I was jealous for my child that he did not have any. Kristina or Krust, little cuz's aunt, made them. Her workwomanship was amazing and my fav was the banana. I had asked her about them & she stated she was working on some tutorials and that it was not that hard to make. Well, ladies and gents here is your chance.

All of this is to tell you about Emmie Bee's First Giveaway. She will be giving away 1 felt food item per month from now on. This could be the best and cutest diet you have ever been on. All you have to do is visit http://www.emmiebee.com/ for details. Make sure to tell her I sent you.
