Elaine, here’s wishing you a very happy birthday filled with everything you heart desires! Thanks you so much for offering gifts on your birthday, when it is you that should be receiving the gifts. I am off to place it in my candy lane and will be holding thumbs till Monday. Have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday Elaine – it’s my birthday on Monday so I am looking forward to spending the day playing with my new craft toys – having a birthday around the time of the big fair at the NEC is quite handy 😉 This year, I will be playing with my new cricut which I pick up at the weekend 🙂 My favourite part of the day though is having a lazy bucks fizz breakfast with my husband whilst watching our cat play with all the discarded wrapping paper!
Oops, forgot to tell you what my favorite thing is to do on my birthday! I love to spend the day with my husband – just being spoilt a tad bit more than on a normal day :-).
Happy Birthday Elaine!!! =)
Hope your day is full of joy and laughter.
My favorite thing to do on my birthday is to spend the day with loved ones, maybe craft “a bit” and eat a delicious meal, just enjoy!!
Hugs, SannaS
Happy birthday Elaine, hope you get loads of time to do what you enjoy most.
My birthday is in mid august , I like to spend it with family well hubby and son, I usually get my breakfast cooked for me then am allowed to do whatever I want to and then am taken out for lunch or dinner whichever I decide. This varies only when we are on holiday but even then I get to choose what we do for the day and spend quality time with my hubby and son. What do you like to do?
Happy birthday Elaine. I hope you get hugely spoiled cause that’s what birthdays are for =). My hubby always makes whatever I want for dinner on my birthday and my parents and sister with family usually comes over. It’s a real treat!
Hi Elaine, Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Elaine,
Happy Birthday to you!!!!

My best thing to do on my birthday is to hide, so it’s a bit of a non event on my household but I like it that way :0) xxxx
Happy Birthday to you Elaine! enjoy your day and eat lots of birthday cake – that’s my favourite thing to do – no diets on birthdays!
hugs, annie x
Happy Birthday Elaine, hope you have a lovely day. My birthday is in May and often falls over the last Bank holiday w/end, so celebrations can last for a couple of days or more! My hubby takes me out to lunch or dinner on the day, and the other days are spent with family & friends.
Eat cake!
Have a Happy Birthday!
My husband and I aren’t super creative, we pretty much just like to do a nice (childless) dinner and a movie because we don’t get to that often :0)
Happy Birthday Elaine. Hope your day is extra special. I celebrated my birthday last month at a restaurant with my husband, children, my parents, brother, sister and her family. Family is important so that’s what I do every year. Thanks for a chance to win some blog candy.
HIya Elaine Happy Birthday hunni, My fav thing to do on my birthday is to go for a nice meal with my family, i’m 40 in a few weeks so everyone is getting together for a lovely roast dinner and of course i’m not cooking it yum yum…

What I would prefer to do on my birthday?! With my husband went shopping … and the last store,may be a hobby shop, without having to watch out for the credit…and that I do not have to count how much I should spend…we end the day with a big meal with the whole family around the table!
This remains only a dream … … so my wish is onrealistis remains at dinner with the family, which to me means a lot more than anything else!!!
I wish you a great birthday and thanks for sharing the candy,all participants success, lots of love, Celia.

Happy birthday Elaine!!
My favorite thing to do on my birthday is to spend time with my husband and girls. And eat cake. I don’t like big party’s just a peaceful day. And since my birthday is at the end of November it has been a tradition these last years that I’ve chosen Christmas dinner for dinner on my birthday.
Hi Elaine
Here’s wishing you a VERY Happy Birthday!
I used to love going out for the day on my birthday, but now that I have back problems and can’t travel very far I really LOVE it if I can spend the day with my hubby, daughter and the grandkids – It’s amazing how as you get older you appreciate your family so much more.
Hugs

Happy, Happy Birthday Elaine!!! At my age I really don’t like birthdays, lol, but what I like about having them is always getting to celebrate them with dinners with my children. I don;t need any gifts, just spending time with those I love. I hope your day is spent surrounded by all those you love too!
Happy Birthday to you, you live in a zoo, you look like a monkey…and smell like one too!! ROFL!!!!

My birthday is the day after valentine’s day. I usually make sure I have the day off work, have a long lie in bed and then just chill out for the day. There may be some shopping and chocolate involved somewhere along the way, too!
Have a good ‘un!
Happy birthday! 😀 Hope your day has been great! 🙂
The thing I like best with birthdays is to have a nice day with my family. That’s the best thing. Perhaps if we were to treat ourselves really well, we would have gone out for dinner just my husband and I. 🙂
Happy Birthday! My favorite things to do are go out to eat at my favorite restraunt and shop 😉
Happy Birthday! My birthday was just a week agao and I have to say that I LOVE going to a stamp store to shop on my birthday. And….lunch of course. But only if I can do it with a good stamping buddy!

This was my answer for the birthday gift question too – I’d spend my birthday crafting, and having my meals cooked for me, and have someone else do the cleaning and washing-up LOL.

My birthday is Nov. 20th, I am looking forward to talking to my children (they live farther away) and DH is taking me to dinner at our favorite place, we were just talking about that tonight and he’s asking what I want for my birthday, I’m thinking that tool the Cinch for binding books. Hummm. No matter what it will be well spent and I hope yours will too. Happy Day.
Happy Birthday Elaine!
My favourite thing to do on my birthday is a nice quiet day, with a trip to the local Farmer’s Market, followed by a nice dinner out, that I don’t have to cook or clean up! 🙂 Finish it off with a night of my favourite TV shows, a good book, or a game of cards! I’m a wild child, aren’t I? lol

Happy happy birthday…!! getting coldstones creamery ice cream is the best. I’m a part of the birthday club and I look forward to having that sugar rush.

Happy Birthday – hope you had a great day. My favourite thing to do would be to eat chocolate cake but well away from my crafting stash LOL!
Happy Birthday! I love to eat out. I love eating out on my birthday because then I get to pick where we go without any complaints. 🙂
