Birthday Giveaway!

Yep-it's my birthday!! Been celebrating all weekend with dinner out at GREAT italian restaurant (good friends, good food and wine!!), putting up garden fence and putting in plants and today I started off the day perfectly--with cake!! Not just any cake either-my darling husband made the cake of all cakes-get this: Lemon cake, with raspberry/white chocolate/cream cheese filling and butter cream frosting with white chocolate and coconut flakes and fresh raspberries on top-unbelievable....he is my cake boss....

I plan on getting some seeds started with my daughter, having lunch with hubby and her (he's coming home from work just for me-how great, right?) and knitting. Today was supposed to be hot and sunny (80 degrees) but it is cloudy, damp and just plain ugly out. But....perfect cuddling/knitting weather...

I happened to get two copies of Debbie Macomber's new book, "The Knitting Diaries" so I'm giving one away. Simply leave a comment with your email to contact you if you win and on Wednesday, I'll randomly pick a winner.

Later on today I'll post pics of the sweatercoat that I'm wearing everyday (the neighbors are soooo going to start talking about me b/c I've been wearing it since it flew off the needles on Sat!) and of hubby's fabulous birthday cake for me.

Happy Knitting~

Hi Chriss,

I saw your post on Rav.

Happy Birthday! The cake sounds amazing. Today is my husband's birthday as well and we are in Florida where it is hot and sunny.

Sounds like you have a great day planned. Enjoy the day!

Happy Birthday to a fellow Aries, SAHM, and knitter. I've read the first two Blossom St books and would love to read more of Ms MAcomber's books.

My email is my kgregis_AT_gmail_DOT_com, and I'm kgregis on Rav.

Enjoy your birthday! It sure is nice to receive a book/novel about knitting!

I enjoyed reading the Blossom Street books - found two at a thrift store!

Blessings!
