A Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated my cousin Libby's birthday!  Libby and I have always been closer than I imagine most cousins are....we grew up across the street from one another and spent part of nearly every day together up until college.  After Lib finished college and I had a few babies, she moved back to our hometown, just a block away from us!  Although she has since moved to a sweet little house on the other side of town, we still see each other quite frequently and continue to have a lovely, close, more-sister-than-cousin relationship.

For Libby's birthday, she is hosting a giveaway!  I hope you head over to her sweet blog and enter.  You have to read through the entire post to see the goodies she is giving away sprinkled in.  So many awesome ideas!  The theme of the giveaway is "28 of my favorite things."

There is no way I could come up with that many in the time I have to write this post, but I thought I'd share a few of my favorites anyway.  In no particular order...

1) Black Eyed Susans
2) Fiesta Ware
3) Old needlepoint samplers
4) Rainbows in the sprinkler
5) Late summer nights on my dad's patio, spending time with family
6) Plain ol' pepperoni pizza
7) Iced Coffee
8) Bamboo knitting needles
9) Organic Merino Wool
10) Rhubarb pie

Share some of yours?  And head over to Building Something Good to enter the giveaway!
