I linked you on my sidebar. I’d either like to win the Tessy and Tab Subscription, my daughter is 5 and just learning to read, so she’d love this one.

I linked up on my contest blog, and I’ll add you to momsblogging next week. Thanks for letting me know about it!
I would want to win an adorable item from Avannabelle! Or any of them, really, I’ve wanted to try gloves in a bottle.

I’d love any of the prizes, they are all great!

Any of them would be awesome! If I had to choose one…I suppose it would be the reading club. Being a homeschooling mom and all, any kind of free reading stuff is the best!

Happy (early) Birthday! I so dreaded turning 30, but it really isn’t that bad.

Great contest! I would love the no slippy hair clippies from Blondblogger. They are adorable!

Happy Birthday! What a generous thing to do on your birthday. I posted about your giveaway on my blog.

The Avannabel item sounds wonderful. They have many great looking items.

Happy Birthday!! I turn 30 in November, so glad to see I’m not the only one. What a great contest you have going on. I think if I win anything I’d love to get the BlaBla Kids Handknitted Doll “Mini Bubbles” from Avannabellbaby. It looks so cute, I remember having a sock monkey when I was younger. Course I’d love to win anything.

I’d love to win the candles. Maybe my visions of a romantic evening with my husband are really my head in the clouds but the candles would definately help make the night a success.

What a neat idea for a birthday celebration. Quite unique. I’ve posted your button on my sidenav.

I think the Made Just for Me CD sounds excellent. I checked out the link and it reminds me that W.W. is really starting to get into singing. He has even started going ’round ‘n ’round to the tune of the schoolbus song, which I think is great.

As to which prize I would like…I don’t know what the item is from
Avannabel Baby, and I can’t get to the Sugar and Spice MySpace (error message)…but probably one of those or the No-Slip Clips.

Happy Birthday and remember to come enter my b-day giveaways, too!!!

Happy birthday to you! I hope it’s all you want and more. :)
I’ve blogged about the giveaway, too (haven’t made it to the sidebar yet, but it’s coming soon). What great prizes you have there, almost hard to choose. Candles, I suppose. Pretty smelling things are always nice to have around, eh. :)

Julia October 19, 2007 at 5:17 am

Ooops, sorry, just accidentallyy hit the button, cause my cat was jumping on me right at this moment *grr*
Although I’d love to win something, I think it’s no use participating, cause I live in Germany and it’ll cost a fortune to have the stuff shipped over :(
Anyway have a nice birthday!

I can’t see the button on your page or mine, but I put the code in exactly as it is on your blog. I have issues with seeing buttons and pictures because of my incredibly uncooperative router, so I hope it works.

Happy birthday, Christine! I finally got my post up. Sorry it took me so long.

I didn’t see any code here for the button so the one I have up is static (I think that’s the term for a no-link button, lol). I hope that’s okay. I do link to you in the post, obviously.

I’d love to win the candle set! I’m a HUGE candle lover!

Thanks! :)
