And, because it definitely bears mentioning…

It’s that time of the year again…time to celebrate my 29th birthday! smilie#23

That’s right, 29. Anybody got a problem with that? smilie#27

But even though it’s all about me, I’m going to make it a little bit about you, too. smilie#13

As always, I’ve put together a giveaway of “A Few of My Favorite Things” to share with you during my birthday month.

Giveaway Rules:

You must be 18 or older to enter.

To enter, post a comment about a few of your favorite birthday things or why you’d love to win these favorite things.

U.S. & Canadian residents only for the prize, but everyone is welcome to comment & chat.

Winner will be chosen randomly by one of The Kittehs, who love to reach in & draw out a crumpled piece of paper to play with.

Winner will be announced here at WIPs and Chains on Sunday, November 16, 2014.  Please stop back in to see if you won!  Efforts will be made to contact you, but we can’t make any promises; it would be better if you contact us. 😉

So GOOD LUCK! smilie#26

And smilie#2 to all of my smilie#4 sisters (& brothers) out there!

With Halloween behind us, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. smilie#30

Not to mention my—& Mistress Heidi’s smilie#4 —birthday, of course! smilie#2

And how better to gear up for those two big events than to update our emoticons & get in the holiday(s) spirit! smilie#33

They’ve been up for a few days already, so you may have noticed them on your own. smilie#18

But if not, you’ve now been alerted & can start checking them out. smilie#20

Let us know what you think! smilie#25

And as usual, feel free to use them liberally within your comments or post them just for fun! smilie#3
