Hip hip hooray!!! Today is Heather's birthday, of which birthday will remain undisclosed. She is 7.5 years older than me, but I will put it in writing (and online) that often people think we're twins. We both just hope they think we're my age :)
How great is this picture!!! I could giggle all day! There are seven kids in our family. I, Megan, am the little one up front. Heather is in the red sweater. This had to be in 1985-6.
One last little story...as I sit here freezing (in AZ!) I am totally reminded of a story growing up. Heather and I often shared a room even though we didn't have to. We lived in Colorado and she being a teenager and me just a kid, she'd stay up late and come in to bed late and wake me up. How did she wake me up? She would attack me with her icy cold fingers and toes!! I have freezer burn to this day... :)
Who would like some fabric??

Me and my sister could do the same but unfortunately we live in different countries. My best birthday was every time I had my sister with me!
I am Poppy Fabric's follower!
My favourite item at Cuddle with Aloha is the apron with London town!
Happy Birthday! Ha ha! I love your kind of fighting. So funny.
My best birthday was when I turned six. It was the 6th day of the 6th month and I turned six. Hello! Most important little girl in the world that day! At least I thought so. I was wearing a puffy pink ski jacket (hello 80's!!) and my grandpa said I looked like a rose bud. Best Birthday ever. :)

My 16th - my best friends threw me a surprise party. So much fun, and so silly to think about now!
I follow the Poppy Seed Fabrics blog.
I'm with you, I might have to go with a Remix bundle - I've been lovin that stuff for a while!
Oh boy, that Green Chicken n Eggs apron is calling to me! So cute!!
Happy Birthday Heather! You both look very youthful (I would have to say early 20's) :), so the 7.5 year difference doesn't show at all!
My best birthday was when my husband and I were first dating. He wanted to really impress me, so he baked me a key lime cheesecake. It's really the only time he has ever baked solo (that I have known him), and it still makes me smile to think of the extra effort that went into it. :)
I love the Patty Young Grand Bazaar, Spade bundle. That would be a stash builder for sure!
The Taza apron in pink and aqua is gorgeous and would make baking holiday treats so much more fun. :)
I am also already a follower of Poppy Seeds.
I've had lots of good birthdays but for some reason the one that pops to mind is the year my husband was working away and was home for my birthday. Him, me and the girls went to see Shrek and then went to Pizza Hut. It was just a perfect family day and so good to be together when we had been through some tough times. I loved that day!
Gosh, I just fell in love with the Taza bundle too!
My best Birthday was actually this year. My husband first surprised me with an enormous bouquet of flowers then had a Daimler limo pick us up and take us out for dinner. We shared a small bottle of champagne in the limo, and it was so unlike him that I shall never forget this Birthday.
My 5th birthday was my favorite one :D
Thanks for the chance!
I love the Anna Maria Horner Fabric, Little Folks, Voile , Pastry line!
Love the Taza shapes, full size apron!
I follow Poppy Seed Fabrics blog!
Happy Birthday!! :) Hope it's a great day.
My best birthday, the year I turned 5 - my mother remarried that year and I got the bestest daddy for my birthday present!
From Poppy Seeds Fabrics - I would have to say any of the Grinch fabric is my favorite, I missed the boat on ordering them for Christmas and now my 6 year old says...I want a Grinch Quilt for my bed Mom!
Happy birthday Heather.
My best birthday was quite a boring day (because we were still stuck in hospital) but I had had my much longed for one and only child only thirteen days earlier - what could be a better present?
Well happy birthday Heather! My best birthday was my 30th, I spent it in New York City!
From Poppy Seed fabrics I love Riley Blakes Tuxedo line
I really like the variation of fabric in the Patty Young Grand Bazaar, Spade bundle. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.
Happy birthday! My favorite birthday was my 16th when my friends had a surprise party for me.
At Cuddle with Aloha I like the apron with London Towne.
Mine was a couple of years ago. We had planned to go to the UK for my birthday (we now live in France) unfortunately is was when the volcano decided to blow it's top in Iceland! We had to postpone for a week but had the best time with family and friends when we eventually arrived.
Been to Poppy Seed and really love Grand Bazaar

My favorite birthday was when I turned 19. My birthday being so close to Christmas everyone is always busy, but that year some friends actually gave me my first birthday party.
I think my best birthday was my 40th birthday. I live 3 hours from my hometown, so I got a bunch of calls from my family. I got to talk to my dad on the phone for almost an hour. He passed away the following January.
That phone call is tucked away in my heart forever.

My birthday is at the end of June. Which I have always loved. Especially when I was little and the fair would be in town during my birthday. Dad would tell my sisters that I got to pick the first ride, and they had to ride on it with me! LOL, I always picked the ferris wheel, and my sisters always hated it :)
I, too, Love remix and urban zoology from Ann Kelle. Would love any of her bundles.
Happy birthday heather!! My best birthday was when my husband bought me tickets to see Eric Clapton in Montreal. It would be our first overnight date without any kids in 10 years!!! It was the best!!!

One of my best birthdays was the year I turned 23 and had just started dating my husband. He HATES having his picture taken. He gave me a gift card to Olen Mills and a note that said he would go willingly to have his picture taken! We used it a few months later to get our engagement pictures taken!
happy birthday to your sister. I don't have any siblings, and currently just 2 kids, which I've been totally fine with until this summer then I started really admiring large families!!- well I'll stop right here.....
My favorite birthday? hmm, I remember my favorite present but now I can't remember if it was christmas or my birthday in january, anyways I got this small present and it had a small black pouch and a small oil can and some keys in it, very ODD! then my parents took me outside to the garage and the pouch fit a NEW BIKE! I remember being so happy that I started crying! a teal and purple BIKE! I loved that bike, until a few years later when I was on a biking field trip with school, and I got a flat tire and it was too rough for my bike and me on this gravel dirt path, anyways the bike was never the same after that
my favorite fabrics from poppy seed is the Ann Kell one you showed, though I'm partial to black and white, so all the ones from riley blake are nice too

I love Urban Zoologie by Ann Kelle oh those birdies and monkeys :)
Happy Birthday! My sister is my best friend, I love her to pieces even if we're political opposites. My favorite birthday was when I turned 30 and I was a poor divorced mom living with another poor divorced mom to save money. My mom came over to stay with our kids so we could go out dancing with the firemen to celebrate my birthday. When we got up the next morning, mom was trying a new recipe - fried oatmeal cookies in the electric skillet for breakfast. Her reasoning was that they were oatmeal cookies, so that was sort of like breakfast cereal.
I like the Hawaiin print summer banket pink and black. at Cuddle with Aloha
the ty pennington fabric at poppy seed fabric is my favorite
Happy Birthday! My best birthday was when I was pregnant with our second son and my husband got me a prenatal massage and pedicure for my birthday. Heaven!! Thanks for the chance!

Happy Birthday! My best birthday was the first one I spent with my now husband and his son - we had a lovely day all together doing some of my favorite things (farmer's market, picnic in the park, out for ice cream), and took my now step-son to the swimming pool. It was all so sweet and I felt perfectly content all day long. We got engaged soon after that day!
My best birthday had to be my 10th--we took a group of girls to a baseball game and I got to have my first and only sleepover!
My favorite fabric line right now is Grand Bazaar from Patty Young. I love the white colorway, and I just saw the blue colorway for the first time, and I love it too!
I do love the Grand Bazaar- especially in the dark blues!
LOVE that Remix....those are my colors... I might just add a bit of yellow...
Happy Birthday Heather!! My sister and I get along great now that we are out of High School!! lol A LOT of years out of High School..
I think my favorite item from Cuddle with Aloha is a the chocolate minky blanket. But all of the hawaiian print summer blankets are beautiful too - I just think I'm not so much in a summer mood, what with the first snow being this morning!
Happy Birthday Heather! I've never been a huge birthday fan so it's hard to remember the best? I guess when I was 6 and my mom threw a surprise party for me, that was pretty cool.
Love that Green Chicken and Egg Apron over at CuddleWithAloha...
Ooh, I'm really into the Grand Bazaar from patty young. I think the Painted Palace is my favorite colorway.

I don't think I have ever had a good birthday. My family didn't celebrate birthdays, and my husband doesn't believe in celebrating adult birthdays, just children's. The last few years something bad has happened on my birthday. Maybe next year will be better?
I truly hope YOUR birthday is filled with the kind of fun a birthday should have!
I love that poppy seed fabric

My birthday fell the week after my freshman year of college got out and my roommates and I all took a road trip to Cali. It was a blast. Kinda wish I could do it again.
I really would love to get some of the ruffle fabrics. So cute and versatile. Thanks for the giveaway.
Cute fabrics! (I do need to get some of that ruffle fabric!) And I love the family picture! Classic! :)
I think my best birthday was while I lived in Texas. I lived there while I was in elementary school, and my birthday always fell over spring break, which was a week long. One year I had two of my best friends come over and we had a 3 day birthday party, sleeping in a huge tent in our backyard both nights. It was definitely a party to remember! :)
In the Cuddle with Aloha shop I like the Taza aprons best. Thanks again.

I like the Taza shapes Pink apron.
I think I was 7 when I got my first bike. Because my birthday is a week before Christmas and it was winter, I got to ride it around the house! That was awesome:)
Oh, my. So many pretty fabrics...how to choose a favorite? At Poppy Seed Fabrics I really like the "Indian Summer" by Zoe Pearn from Riley Blake. Have not seen that one yet, but the colors are so appealing!
"OOAK Hawaiian print summer blanket Red and Black flowers" caught my eye as soon as I reached Cuddle with Aloha. The colors and design are fabulous!

Best birthday? When I was young, we would go to the lake for a week with my cousins. A few times it was the week of my birthday. I always felt so special, almost like my birthday was the reason for going to the lake!
My fave bday was my last, my husband let me pick out a sewing machine and quilting frame! :D

I threw a surprise birthday party for when he turned 40. It was a total surprise. Four years later, when I turned 40, I was expecting he'd do the same thing. Nothing, boy was I relieved. He did it when I turned 41, and I was totally unprepared! It was a great time.
