Great giveaway!
I linked you and I’d love to win the gloves in a bottle
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!
I linked!! I’d love to win any of your great prizes
http://mommymandy.blogspot.com/2007/10/birthday-giveaway.html
we talked about you over at http://www.mumsthewurd.com (i still don’t know how to do those cool links in posts).
I’m all linked up as well, and I’d love to win the Ribbon Hairbow, the set of 6 no-slip clips, the or item from Avannabell Baby. Thanks for the fun contests!!
Cool give-away! I would either love to win the Avannabell Baby (1st choice!)–that shoppe is sooo awesome! My 2nd choice would be the 6 no slip clips. Thanks Christine! Love your site girl and it seems like a lot of us are turning the BIG 30~I did in August!
Oh and I have you in my Side-Bar!
Awesome prizes!! Count me in Christine!
I blogged ya in my Friday Edition of Contests Galore
ooo pick me for the gloves in a bottle or the candles & soap!
Wow! Seriously great prizes. I’d love the personalized book, the item from Avannabel Baby, or the subscription to The Tessy and Tab Reading Club. You’re in my sidebar.
Thanks, Christine!
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!
I will post your contest on my blog, and I am adding your button now. Thanks!

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.
The Tessy and Tab reading club also sounds great. My niece loves to get mail.
Happy Birthday! I posted about your giveaways on my blog today.
I would love the no-slip hair clips!
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.
Happy Birthday! I’ve got you in my sidebar! I would love to have Gloves in a Bottle!
I can’t get your code off your blog. Can you email it to me so I can link up. Thanks
My post is up at:

The item that I’d most like to win is the personalized book or CD. Thank you!
Hi Christine and happy birthday. My 30th is November 10th.

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.
Just posted your giveaway on my sidebar!
I would love to win the votives.
Linda
Happy Birthday!!! What a neat way to celebrate your day. I linked to you.
I thik the candles sound like an excellent gift or an avannabel baby item.
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.
I put the button on our sidebar of Mama Loves Giveaways! I’d love the Gloves in a Bottle!
Jane, Pinks & Blues/Mama Loves Giveaways
I linked up and signed.
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!!!
I just found your site through RibbonRockStar, what a great site!
If I win I would love something from Avannabel or the No-Slip Clips. Thanks
Would love to win either the Glove in a Bottle, hair bows, hair clips, or Avannabel Baby item. =)
!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
What a great idea to do on your birthday! I hope you have a GREAT week!
I am going to try to post the link…thanks!

P.S. Sorry about the duplicate entry on Mr. Linky. My son was trying to hand me a boiling hot cup of cocoa, and I bumped the enter key….;-)
I would love the item from Avannabel Baby to keep my little guy lookin’ stylish. Or the book subscription or the personalized book to fuel his love for reading.
I posted your button…

Happy 30th birthday!!
I have your button on my blog template!
I’d love to win Gloves in a Bottle!
Would look the gloves in a bottle! You have a great birthday. I am a beginning blogger so hope everything is right! http://www.blogcharm.com/infinityofcontests
thanks
Happy birthday! I just ran into your blog, and created my own!
I would love an adorable item from Avannabel Baby! I’m pregnant with my first child, and everything there looks so pretty!

Awesome giveaway! We would love to win the Tessy and Tab subscription!
The candles sound YUMMY!!!
Ohhh, I like both the candles & the no-slip clips! I’m in!
The personalized CD or book for one of my kiddos is my favorite! It is never too early to start reading to your kids!
How fun! I’m linked and ready to win! Happy Birthday!
This is a great giveaway!! I’d love to win the gloves (my hands are sooo dry!) or really any of the amazing prizes. Thank so much! And Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday!! What a great giveaway! I love all of the items! but especially the gloves. My twins 18 month b-day is on 10/21!!! PS–not sure if my other post went through… sorry if I posted 2x.
I don’t have a blog but we’d love to win. I’ll email 3 friends right now. Also, we would love the Tessy & Tab subscription – or anything really!

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.
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!
Greets Julia
What a great way to celebrate your birthday! All the prizes are great, but I’d love to win the no-slippy clips for my nieces!!! I know I have all boys, but I love being auntie to four girls!
Steph
You’re in my sidebar, all linked up!
I’d love to win the Avannabel Baby item or the Tessy and Tab subscription. All of them are great prizes! Happy (almost!) birthday!!
Slip clips…No, Adorable dress…No, Tessy and Tab subscription… Augh…tough choices!!!
set of three assorted votives with votive holder, and a bar of Juniper Breeze scented soap
omg i would love this! because well.. with 3 kids and staying at home and a needy hubby LOL i never have mommy pamper stuff! i love this sort of stuff but just cant make my self buy it anymore because there is alwyas something much more practical! linking and posting to you at this moment
What a great way to celebrate your birthday!
Happy 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!! I think that the personalized CD and book look awesome! However, everything that you have looks great. Hope that you have a great week!!
I’ll be getting my post up as soon as I can. I like the hair clips.. the no slip or the rainbow clips!
Fun contest!
Sorry I forgot to tell you why I love the clips.. because I have a baby girl and she’d look SO cute in them! =) Hehehe
I hope Im not to late to add my birthday story. I would love to win the votive candle or anything really would be great. Happy 30th! 30 is the new twenty. It’s my new motto.
I would love the Tessie & Tab subscription. I’ll have the button up today at An Island Review. Thank you!
I put your button on my sidebar. how wonderful is it to give a gift on your birthday. I’m going to do it too, but my birthay is in December – actually not a bad thing this year since I’ll be giving gifts that should arrive in time for Christmas…
oops, I forgot to say which gift I would like to win, sorry… any of the gifts would be wonderful, but if I had to choose it would be between the personalized CD and book or the votive candles..
Happy Birthday! I am having a difficult time trying to get the button on the sidebar so I’ll work on that tonight. I would love any of them but I suspect my hubby won’t want to see our little boy in a dress or clips! : )
Caryn
please include me thanks
I’d love to win the set of 7 hair clips because I have 3 girls who love to wear pretty things in their hair. If that is not available, I’d love the large hair bow.
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!
