V and Co: a craptastic giveaway for my 3-6

so yes i turn the big three-six today.
for some reason the number 36 is hard to look at. i soooo don't feel 36, i feel uh...maybe 26. 26 would be so doable. if i were turning 26 i would so totally be like "i'm so cool i'm reaching my prime and i totally have 10 years till i turn crochety 36 and 14 years till i turn GASP 40. but haha that's sooo far away. but 36 is like... flarrrg. :) 36 is 4 freaking years till i'm 40. AHHH! breathe. breathe. breathe...

okay well it's not really THAT bad (well it is but not really), but it is kind of weird to think i'm that old. i mean don't get me wrong throw in 4 kids and a weak bladder, i definitely feel 36 but other than that and the varicose vein that throbs and the ooookay...moving on.
so to celebrate and make myself feel better i'm going to give stuff away, to make others happy will make me happy and totally take some of the attention off of what's at hand here today.

check what i've been collecting:
i've got fabric, i've got patterns, i've got books, i've got scentsy products, i've got notions, i've got aprons and i've got...well crap load of stuff to make up my "craptastic giveaway day" and to make me feel like this is a good fun day!
we've got charm packs from andover, kona, and moda.
we've got a layer cake, and we've got cute little mini charm packs, some of future lines due to come out and oh some not featured! (they are kate spain's current and a couple of new line) but yeah i got these babies from market.
and ahem lets not forget to mention one lucky person will be receiving a fat quarter bundle
we've got cute little notebooks from lizzy house.
and i've got a scensty warmer and three of my fav smells for the fall and winter season going to one lucky winner. (pictured above)
i've got by far one of my FAVORITE books ever:  Oliver + S Little Things To Sew to give away.

i can sit and stare at this book every day all day. and sometimes i do. :) i have yet to make something from it, but the pictures alone make me happy so i can only imagine what it would feel like to have something made from the book. :) soon. hopefully.

and last but not least i have this apron that i just got. cause you know holidays are a coming and fast! and i don't want to get any cooking on me, and you probably dont either sooo, i'm giving away one apron of your choosing from this site.

so here's how to enter. no, i'm not going to make you jump through a thousand hoops to get a chance to win something.
but there are two things you can do:

first and foremost:
1. just wish me a non crappy birthday. :) that's all i ask.

second if you wanna: 
2. go to the terrace hill site and come back and tell me which apron you would pick as your winning. (basically so if you are randomly picked i already know what to order!)
but PLEASE PLEASE leave an email address attached to the bottom of your comment. you can even write like this: vanessa[dot]christenson [at]gmail[dot]com if you are afraid of spam getting you. but at least this way it makes it so easy to pick winners and let you know that you won that it makes me not want to pull my hair out.
i will pick the winners (i haven't counted how many there will be...but you'll see the list of them) on monday. :)


oh and to add to the fun: 
for today only i am giving you 50% off all patterns in my shop. just enter the code PDF36 for pdf patterns and PAPER36 for paper patterns at the check out and you will get your patterns (paper and pdf) for half off. offer is for today only and will expire at midnight central time so load up on it. :)

sale end! wow!!! thanks!

oh and last but not least: since i know all of your are going to be partying up for my birthday today, go ahead and take tomorrow off, i mean it's a national holiday for that reason. so might as well use it up. :P

okay i'm going to go eat chocolate, drink diet caffeine free diet dr pepper, and watch friends for a while. then maybe i'll get around to eating normal food and getting into some jeans for the day.
have a sweet weekend. we'll talk next week. best of luck.

First and foremost, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVEY!! You DO NOT look 36, you definitely could pass for 26!! As for me, while I'm SEVEN months older than YOU!!! I definitely could pass for 46!! the gray streak on the top of my head isn't helping either heehee....but hey, 36 ain't bad, I've been doing it for seven months and am getting the hang of it, especially when filling out some type of form or survey and you are out of the 26-35 age bracket....but oh well...age is nothing but a number remember that!! As for the apron, I'm sort of digging "Retro Chic Apron Vintage Inspired Modern Lace Floral in Coffee and Cream, Black, Gray NEXT SIZE UP" since I'm a big girl!! I hope you have a great rest of the week!! Cheers to you!!

I hear you on turning 36...which I did in June. 36 really bugged me...a lot more than 35 did. I guess you could say I survived, and you will too. :) Enjoy your day. We are living parallel lives of birthdays and moving this year. Wishing you lots of happiness, and not too many grey hairs. Here's a song for you. (You can imagine me singing it with my 3 year old.)

You've had a birthday shout "hooray"! We want to sing to you today. One year older and wiser, too. Happy Birthday, to you!

Thank you for making beautiful things and making me smile.

aseret said...

You are so not old! Not even close. So have yourself a wonderful Birthday!!!

Happy birthday! Here's my dad's birthday song:

We're so glad that you were born,
Cause if you were not here,
We could not see your smiling face,
Or hear your voice so cheer.
It's hard to say "God bless you"
to someone who don't exist,
And 'specially on your birthday
you would certainly be missed.
So happy, happy birthday
from your family so dear,
And if the Lord should tarry
we'll be singing to you next year!

And I'd love the Autumn Retro Half Apron!

Ahhh... 36 was suppose to be a good year for me. I've actually always thought 36 would be the second best year for me, after 38 which for some reason I've imagined since a teenager would be "my" year. I'm 38 this year... and let me tell you it is not "my" year. I guess it's best not to get those ideas... I am wishing you the best 36th year you could possibly have! You are beautiful, talented and an abolute treat for your blog readers. All the best to you and yours, now and always!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy birthday!!!! How could you possibly have a crap birthday when you have so much to celebrate. You are a shining star and remember, you may be older than you've ever been before, but you're younger than you will ever be again. (Words of wisdom from my dad.) How generous to celebrate your birthday by giving to others...see...you are a shining star. Retro girl - Kate Spain. I'm just sayin. Have some cake and celebrate!!

As for an apron...I'm kind of obsessed with this one:

Happy Birthday! I only WISH I looked as good! Girl, how DO you do it?! With babies, it feels like I haven't had a good night's sleep in a decade . . . they're wonderfully loveable and worth the wrinkles, but NOT pretty for the ol' body (or complexion, or brain). :) I think it's so funny that I think of MY MOM as still in her late 30's . . . when really, I'm that mom now! And my mom is into her 'Grandma' years! My Dad always says, "Mind over matter . . .I don't mind and it don't matter". And, "You're only as old as you feel . . ." Sage advice. ;)

So, GO and be merry and celebrate your day!

I wish you a really fabulous birthday! I know what you mean about bad ones...they tend to hit here a lot! But 36, that seems like a pretty lucky number I mean divide by 3 and you get to be 12 again for the day with all the wisdom you've earned. ;)

Happy Happy Birthday!

It's just a number and heck, I don't think I'd go back to my 30's if you paid me. (I am 46 going on 47 in April.)

You have crazy mad skillz and attitude... keep rockin' it no matter what age you are.

Love the apron you bought for yourself - Women's Retro Apron--Vintage Inspired Michael Miller Dandy Damask Avocado NEXT SIZE UP.

Happy Birthday! I turned 36 this year too, and it wasn't so bad until I realized it's only 4 more year until 40! Crap!!

The 4 Hoggans said...

i know what you mean about getting older. i will be 38 the end of this month. i though i would feel older when i was this age but i don't. my mind still thinks i am in by 20's. i hope you have a happy birthday. thanks for giving away presents.

I wish you the non-crappiest of birthdays ever! If I was your neighbor, I would be bringing you a loaf of my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pumpkin bread that is filling my house with the most delicious smell right now! Friends and anything with Dr. Pepper in the title is a great way to spend the day! p.s. my wall of aprons in my kitchen could really use some fall colors: Thanksgiving Retro Apron-- Stylish Vintage Inspired Chocolate Brown, Olive, Crimson, Gold Floral Design. (And yes, I really have a wall of aprons, some for me and some for my girls!)

Megan said...

I think I like the Strawberry Fields apron the best. There were 2o but I could not tell the difference, so either one is great.
Fun shop, by the way!

Happy, Happy Birthday! 36 is a distant memory for me as I just turned 54! But I know how you feel, I don't feel like I could be any more than 40! Just keep thinking young, I do! {PS-I like the Strawberry Fields apron}

happy birthday! loved your schoolhouse at market...so fun!

Kelli said...

I turned 32 on Tuesday, so we're not too far apart! I hope today is a great day for you. Think of all of the time you've got before 40...that's a lot of hugs and kisses and smiles and rainbows and vacations and fresh-baked cookies and sewing projects...I could go on, but I think you get the picture!

Becky S. said...

Ooops, I forgot to leave my apron choice. I love the Retro Full Apron in Nicey Jane Hello Roses or the Strawberry Fields Retro Apron. Thanks for the chance to win.

leigh said...

Hey! Happy Birthday to you! Mostly I just wanted to tell you that. (You don't need to send me anything in case I happen to win - just pick someone else.) And if it makes you feel any better - I'm closer to 40 than you are.

Kim G said...

Happy Birthday today!! It is my birthday also today, I will even say I turned 55 today!! I always knew 11-10 was a great day!! My oldest daughter turned 36 in October and to be honest when she gets older and I can't believe she really turned 36 it just makes me realize I must be older also!!

Molly Z said...

Happy Birthday to my fellow Cedar Rapids/Marion resident! I hope your hubby at least treats you to dinner at one of Cedar Rapids finest resturants! I hope your day is fabulous :) I love the Bridal Shower Retro Apron--1950s Vintage Style. I could totally feel like a 50's housewife in that!

Happy Birthday! You look great! I didn't mind 36 as much as 37 (bday was 2 months ago)...inching my way to 40 too! Just keep using the wrinkle cream so they'll have to guess your age! :)

Happy un-crappy birthday! Try not to think of birthdays as a bad thing. Reflect on all the great things 36 years has brought you and be thankful that you will live at least another 36 to have many more!!

Happy Birthday!! I think 36 will rock and be the best year yet for you. Best of wishes for the year ahead!!

Anonymous said...

I wanted to cry too when I hit 38 until my sister snapped at me "Be thankful you have had so many years" which kind of jolted things back into perspective and I immediately cheered up and have remembered to tell myself that every year since then. Acceptance isn't that easy though, I admit! But you can arm yourself with some tools to fight the funk..what also helped was the very definition of the word aged...mellowing, sweetening, ripening...mmmm. A dear aged lady once handed me a slightly over-ripe nectarine and encouraged me to eat it. I thanked her, excused myself and was going to quietly drop it into the bin(the appearance was less than perfect..a few wrinkles!) Yet, I didn't..I took a bite and was staggered at how utterly delicious it was! So, dont let a few lines get in your way..my hope/wish for you is that you go gloriously into your future, starting today by having the best birthday yet!:) +++hugz (if you smile and there are lines..it's like sunrays!!)

Mic said...

Happy Birthday!! I just celebrated 33 on Friday. This aging thing is definitely weird... Enjoy your day!

Whitney said...

Happy Happy Uncrappy Birthday!!!!
The best thing to do is take a step back, realize all that you know at age 36 (that you wish you had known at 26, and be thankful because with age comes intelligence!!) Hope it's a good one and don't feel too crappy today, I'm not far behind on that # myself so I feel your anxiety! :)

The Daisy Doodle Dandy is super adorable. (ps. if I don't win I still think I'm getting this apron!)

Whitney

Happy Birthday! You definitely don't look 36 if that makes you feel any better. I would say late 20's, early 30's max!

Wishing you a wonderful birthday and a great year! I just turned the big 4-uh-oh, and it's not so bad to be old. Really, not SO bad. We are still on the right side of the dirt anyway..... I can't wait to hear what your adorable family did for your special day :)

bdaiss said...

Girlfriend please. 36 ain't nothin'. So says one who is now 37. : ) Make it a beauty - have some fun and celebrate. Happy happy happy un-craptastic birthday to you!

(And goodness! I'm drooling over the Vintage Inspired Retro Chic Apron, Whimsy Doozie & Polka Dots. I'm not normally a full apron gal, but I could see this with a black sweater and tights. AWE.SOME.)

Mindy said...

From one 36 year old to another... we'll make it through this. ;) We really don't have a choice, right? Also... if you're every feeling really bad, just remember that I'll be turning 37 in January. Ugh.
