This weekend I celebrated my 21st birthday, so I’m legal to drink. Add to that I also celebrated my 18th birthday, so I can vote. Plus, it was my sixteenth birthday, so I can legally speed down the freeway. Oh, yeah, plus my terrible two birthday because I can be a brat. And one to grow on.
I hope all of that was confusing enough to obscure the large number of birthday’s I was celebrating this year!

I do love my birthday. It’s the one day I don’t have to feel guilty about doing anything I want! This year I did pretty much nothing for the “actual” day and did partying things for the other (not actual) days! Perfecto!

I did recieve this card from my three-year-old twin grand niece and nephew.

It came with some portraits included. This is me (a great likeness, if I do say so).

The twins on the bottom. And my darling husband is the green scribble – practically a photographic likeness!

For my birthday I am giving out a present!

Orange Circle Studio, who has put out a calendar with THREE of my quilts, sent me some 2013 calendars as a gift to share with you, my dear readers!
It’s very cool, because there is a pouch in the back with the full instructions for each of the thirteen quilts in this calendar! Wow! That’s such a great addition!
I would like to send the first calendar out on Friday to one lucky blog reader.
All you have to do is comment that you’d like one for yourself or some dear friend and I’ll pick a winner. If you don’t win this time, stay tuned for another give-away next week!
Happy Birthday to you! Would love the calendar to hang on my wall!
I’ll put you in the hat as #1!
2012? 1012? 2013? Any way I would love to have a calendar. :Lois
I need a proofreader! Thank you for the head’s up! You can be #2!
I would love to win that calendar. If I worked realy hard, I might be able to accomplish 1/4 of those patterns 🙂
Just take them one at a time! You can be #3!
I would love to win the calendar with three of your quilts featured! Happy Happy Birthday. Hope you have lots more fun birthdays!
I’m looking forward to the big three-o – any year now!
You’re #4!
Happy Birthday Alethea You Maverick Girl You….I’m so confused…do we add UP the birthdays you listed to figure out your age? LOL (Just kidding of course). Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a calendar…I could be nice and say I would give it to a friend….(thinking about that a sec)….nah….I’ll be honest – I want it for ME!!!!
That was the idea – but I warn you – it’s going to take a calculator!
Try this week for you and next week for a friend!
You’re #5!
Glad you had a Happy Birthday! Love the calendar! Love to win it
You’re in at #6 Hilda! Thanks for the positive comments!
I want it and I want it now!!!!~
Your favorite Auntie……..
Well, if you were my favorite auntie that would make you very special, indeed!
But in this case you’re simply little old #7!
Happy Birthday, Alethea! I love your style and I would love to win the calendar…like the idea of the pouch for instructions a lot.
I can’t believe they got whole book chapters on to a single page, but they really did!
Good luck at #8!
Can you hear me singing? I’m really loud! Happy 21st, 16th, 2, and all the rest. Still crazy after all these years!
You got that right, sistah!
You can go crazy at lucky #9!
When you are a fellow maverick there is no moderation for Pete’s Sake! And who is Pete anyway??
Happy Birthday Alethea! I would love to have that calendar especially since it has three of your quilts.
Thank you my talented friend!
You’re in at #10!
Hey, are family exempt? Probably… 🙁 so I need to buy one, where can I get it? I want a lot!! Love you!
Hmmm. Interesting question! Well, my (favorite) auntie got a number, but that doesn’t mean I will ACTUALLY put it in the hat!
Please hold while I consult The Big Book of Blog Give-Away Rules, and I’ll get back to you!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday to you too! I give you #11!
I’d love one of those beautiful calendars
You can be in the (birthday) hat at #12!
Happy Birthday sweet friend! I would love, love, love a calendar!
OK, my friend. But I’m sure the Great Bog Book of Blog Rules prevents me from putting you in the mix! You’ll just have to wait until Christmas! No number for you!
Thanks for the reminder about this cool calendar. I’d love to win one and cross my sister Mary’s name off my Christmas list. But if I don’t win I’ll see about buying one.
You are very special. Happy Birthday.
Thank you! I’ll put you and Mary in at a baker’s dozen #13!
