Candy for Quilters

eBook:
Quilter's Candy Delights by Darlee Byron

A Birthday Wish

This week, I take a break from my project and book reviews to bring you the opportunity to win a copy of my own eBook as my gift to you for stopping by my blog. I appreciate all of you, as followers, friends, and visitors that have read my entries and thank you for your encouraging comments, from week to week.

eBook, Candy Projects

Our blogging adventure helps us to broaden our reach, allows us opportunity to share our beautiful projects, and enables us to make new discoveries. This truly brings each of us an abundance of joy as we continue to create, stitch, and embellish the great ideas from skillful quilters around the world. This also helps us have the courage to create our own ideas and bring them to life.


A Basket of Calorie-free Sweets!

My eBook has 16 unique candy ideas to make for the quilters on your gift list, at any time of year. They are quick to make and perfect for stocking stuffers and gift basket contents. Another great idea, would be to get a group of friends or quilters together to quickly make up a basket for someone that needs cheering up. These non-edible and calorie-free treats will be sure to please. These ideas go beyond that pretty bundle of fat-quarters that we all love...

And, for a special bonus, I will offer to design one candy wrapper to the winner of the free copy on this blog... for them to add to the chosen candy item from the eBook, to advertise your special event, such as a party favor for a party, special occasion, craftshow, etc. Then, with permission, I'd love to share the results at a later date on my blog.

What's in a Birthday?

WOW!! What a cool day it has been!! Good surprises are so delightful, aren't they? Here are the highlights of my birthday, this year...

I was enjoying a pleasant dream... and the phone rang. It was 6:55 am. I couldn't get my vision cleared enough to see the number, but answered it anyway after three rangs. Good-morning.... Hello.... Hello.... No one there. So, when I was almost asleep again, the phone rang. It was now 7:24 am. And, yes, it was the same number as before. Hello.... No dial tone, so I hung up and hoped I could get some more sleep.

I had a hair appointment at 11 am and arrived early and got in right away. An hour later I arrived back home and my son opened the door, and I was greeted with a beautiful flower bouquet. Oh, I love yellow!!


I got to chat online, on webcam and telephone with family and put in my order from the gift certificate I received from the handbag contest I won in February.


Patterns I choose to order. 
Visit the website for more great patterns.

I made caramel popcorn and watched a favorite movie, "The Lake House" with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. I love movies with Sandra Bullock. Then, to end a perfect day, I will enjoy watching my favorite TV series show, "Lost".


Thanks everybody!! Oh, and the mystery caller, was none other then my littlest granddaughter (she's 15 months old) playing with her mother's cellphone. So, I figure it was her way of sending me a birthday wish.





On March 7th, I'll reveal the details to my special draw/bonus. See you then....
