Handmade~Homemade Birthday Celebration Giveaway #2

I had a fabulous and relaxing birthday weekend with my family.  I got to go shopping (sans the kiddos) with my mom and sister Saturday morning, and I actually bought myself a few nice things for once. (Much love to the husband for staying with the kids while I enjoyed a few hours of girly shopping time!)
I spent the rest of the day relaxing, watching my Mountaineers play, and then the boys surprised me by bringing home dinner (Yay! A night off from cooking!) and a super yummy Reese Cup Blizzard ice cream cake. (Yep. That is it in all it's yummy glory above. )

I hope you all have already entered yourself in my Handmade~Homemade Birthday Celebration Giveaway #1.  Lots of crafty, homemade awesomeness is up for grabs in that one- handmade earrings, vanilla spiced peach jam, an art print, a custom burlap banner, custom friendship bracelet, Starbucks gift card, and gorgeous handmade Chrysanthemum notecards.

Chrissy from The Pink Woobie is giving our lucky winner a Hand Crocheted Purple Market Bag, perfect for those weekend mornings at the farmers market! :)
"...I've gotten a lot of great and thoughtful stuff over the years, but in high school one of my best guy friends bought me a tiara, and I wore it a lot until it fell apart.  It was exactly what I needed to feel special, and I always wore it with regular clothes- jeans, t-shirt, and a tiara."

Suzy from That's 2 Darn Cute created a gorgeous one of a kind 7 inch multi quartz bracelet just for this giveaway.
"My birthday is December 23, so it is close to Christmas and I get birthday and Christmas gifts confused!  But at my last job, I worked as a restaurant manager.  Being the Christmas season, it was crazy busy.  But my boss arranged a surprise for me and gave me a massage and a half day off of work.  It was very needed, and I was really touched by the thought she put into it..."

Melissa from Treats With a Twist is going to make healthy, gluten-free granola customized to the winner's preference. :)
"My best birthday gift was when I was 11.  My family let me choose our first dog.  Kaity was a beautiful, sweet golden retriever, and I couldn't have asked for a better dog to have.  We lost her just a week ago, and it has made me reflect on how lucky I was to have such an amazing birthday gift."

Brittany over at Confessions of a PinAholic wants to help our winner fuel their next spree of craftiness with a $5 Michael's Gift Card.
