The above picture is what you hope you look like when you turn 54 years old...
The following is closer to the truth...
It's my birthday and I still have 5 copies of the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks, No. 10...let's do a give away! My apologies to those who already have a copy...
I will choose tomorrow (Friday) at noon by random number generator. If you have a funny birthday story, joke, or phrase, please include if you have the time!
(Please no "no-reply" or "anonymous" comments and domestic mail only for the give-away...still eating canned beans from the last give-aways, LOL!!)
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Happy Birthday! (Funny post 😉)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My 53rd birthday is tomorrow, Dec 12.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Just though I would share our weird family tradition for 40th birthdays. You may have heard of the idea of covering someone's lawn with flamingos to mark an occasion. Well for my oldest sister's 40th birthday my Mom and I came up with the idea of decorating her house with bras. We both collected old bras from everyone we could think of until we had 40 and strung them on her house and on the trees like it was Christmas. We added a sign announcing her birthday and of course did this in the middle of the night so it would be a surprise. It ended up starting a bunch of 40th birthday pranks. My Mom is gone now, I sure miss her crazy zest for life!
ReplyDeletedear teresa,happy birthday,to you,i don´t need a copy,but wanted to say,that we in our fifties definitlyor hopefully don´t loook like that gorilladame,have a nice day,susi
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My cute story is the birthday I had when I had just completed a year as an officer in a quilt guild. I ended up having to take over as president. Come January, we had a ceremony to install new officers. I thought it was odd that not one person said a thing to thank me for serving as a fill in president. After the meeting was over, they surprised me with a birthday party and gifts. That was their way of thanking me. I had thought the gifts on the table were Secret Sister gifts and had no idea that they were all for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday - I already have the magazine though so don't count me
ReplyDeletehappy birthday! my birthday is April fools day so I've tons of funny stories.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The picture is a hoot. Hope I don't look that bad at 56, but there are days I feel it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today! I hope you have a day filled with lots of joy and presents.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! I love these 100 block books and already have a copy of the latest one so don't count me in for the draw!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a wonderful birthday! 54 is so young! Just think how many more masterpiece quilts you can make in the future!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! When I became 60, my little grandson asked me how old I was. I told him, and he replied: "That's VERY old, Grandma!"
ReplyDeleteJust shows that you are still young!
Happy birthday, wait until you get to 73!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! When I turned 40, I was driving a school bus. My route was to the next small town and the countryside around there then back to our consolidated school. I left the bus barn at 6:10 AM when it was still dark out. My entire hour-long route, people kept honking and waving at me. I thought everyone was sure friendly that morning, until I pulled up to the high school to unload students. The principal came out to my bus and said,'Happy Birthday!" I was shocked and asked how he knew. He said, "Well , it could be the big sign the full length of your bus saying it's your 40th!" Another bus driver had decorated my bus before I got on it. Talk about embarrassing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I think my favorite birthday was my 40th when a friend gave me a whole pile of little presents that were "essential for the older person"...we all got such a laugh out of them as I opened them in the staff room. You can guess what some of them might be. It was all in good fun. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeletejust wanted to stop by and say Happy Birthday. I am have the magazine so don't enter my name.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Teresa! That last picture made me smile :0) If you reverse the two numbers you are turning today you will have how old I am turning tomorrow. That means I have 9 more years to get as good at applique as you are... Lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, loved that second picture. It comes closer to the truth each day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! You and I are the same age...
ReplyDeleteFunny birthday story - almost 60 years ago I was so excited for my birthday coming up soon that I reminded everyone every day when my birthday was and what I wanted. On the morning of my birthday, my sister got up and did wonderful and special things for my birthday. That night when the extended family gathered my cousin asked my sister what we did for her birthday which was 5 days earlier. OOPS - the blabbermouthed toddler had stolen all the attention and no one had celebrated my sister's birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. Here's a funny: A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. I hope you have many more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Thanks for the chance to win!

Happy Birthday! I'm still chuckling from your pics on this post....too funny...kitty is just adorably sweet....LOVE your orange Kitty napping in your hoop!
ReplyDeleteyes, I would love a copy, I don't have any of the "100 Blocks" issues...
Happy Birthday! Got a kick out of the chimp picture! Mine comes up on the 27th. It tends to get lost and forgotten being 2 days after X-mas. Would love a chance at the magazine.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThere is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. - author unknown.
Please enter me in the drawing for the 100 Blocks magazine.
I don't have any good stories but I'd LOVE a copy! Thank you for the chance to win! Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful year ahead!
ReplyDeleteO and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the "bra" story above! That is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday--love that kitten! Thought she was your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. The best is yet to come - I didn't begin my quilting adventure until I was your age and I am enjoying it more every year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Teresa! You are just a couple of years ahead of me in life. I love being in my fifties! Thank you for the giveaway. I don't have a copy of the book yet, I know hard to believe!

Happy Birthday, Teresa!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Can't think of any funny stories to share, will keep thinking though...
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting my name in the hat for the drawing.
Funny photo's!!! Lets just the first one is you! Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHapppy Birthday! Keep it under the speed limit!
ReplyDeleteI'm a 5 years ahead of you. I'd tell you what it's like, but that would just scare you. And you can't do anything about it anyway!
ReplyDeleteHere's the joke:
For our daughters 6th birthday we bought her a fish. We couldn’t help laughing when on the way she announced “the fish’s name is Sparingly.” “How do you know?” I asked “look” she responded “it says “feed sparingly 3 times daily.”
Happy Birthday!! You don't have to start worrying about your age until it is higher then any speed limit sign you can find!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You can't change the number of years, but you can change how you spend each day. Party on!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Teresa! Guess what? You will be forever young no matter your age. Old is 20 years older than you are at any given time. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Teresa!!!! Thanks for the chance to win a great volume of this series :) Enjoy each year! Kathi
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Thanks for sharing. b.j.day68@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. You are just a baby.. Enjoy and thanks for a chance at your giveaway. Sorry I don't have any funny stories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Teresa.
ReplyDeleteI can only share my earliest memory of the morning after my 4th birthday, my mom had put m&m's in bowls and I remember getting up and eating all of them before anyone else woke up.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! When I was turning 4 I really wanted a cake shaped like a house (don't know why!). My mom found a recipe and made this fantastic cake, with coconut on the roof.....that's when I discovered that I can't stand coconut! I still remember sitting at the table picking at the cake, trying to pick out all the coconut and gagging at every bite! I think that was the end of the fancy cakes for me!!
ReplyDeleteAll the world is a birthday cake, but don't have too much:)
ReplyDeleteI had my double nickels birthday this summer. I'm with ya!
Happy Birthday...Do something special for yourself on your special day!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Great Giveaway. Please count me in. I remember by 7th birthday very clearly. It was the day my Dad sold our chickens and then he knocked himself out blowing up party balloons!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!! I want to win that cute kitten!
ReplyDeleteLove this post, especially the precious kitten picture, but when did you take that very unflattering picture of me!! LOL, but pretty darn close to the sag and bag I'm becoming. Hope you had a fantastic birthday, but don't you find that they seem to come around so much faster these days? I know I do. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. You have many more birthdays to come. Love the pictures. I would love to win this book. Nancy P.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I've got one coming next week too. I probably resemble the second photo more. ha What a hoot. But I have a lot of quilting left in me! Good wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My birthday is the 13th. I will be 59. So far, the only thing "golden" about my golden years, has been urine. Hang in there. Getting older isn't for sissies!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! !

Why are Christmas trees so bad at sewing?
They always drop their needles!
Happy birthday to you!! The first birthday cake I ever baked (as a child) I didn't realize you had to let the cake cool before you frosted it. The frosting all dripped down the sides, but Mom loved it!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you Teresa , hope you had a fun day . My birthday is next week . I have no funny stories about my birthday , with it so close to Christmas it kind of melting into one .
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Teresa!
