Wow, this is BIG! I hope I win!! Your photo looks amazing on canvas and you've selected the perfect spot for it. The photo of your photo is beautiful.

Jill

Ooh! We just had family pictures done on the beach, and I would LOVE having one printed on canvas!

My favorite birthday present ever was a pair of Tiffany silver ball earrings that my husband gave me a few years back. I wear them every single day, and the best part, he picked them out completely on his own!

Lorelei Eurto

WOAH. HUGE! Great giveaway Meg. Can't wait- I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win.
:)

Heather

the best birthday present I ever received? Wow. I can't even think of anything. That's sad. I will have to tell my husband so he can make the next one more memorable. Happy birthday to you!

Emily

without a doubt my best birthday present was my Nikon D40 which my husband got me last year. I'd mentioned once, very briefly and quietly, that I wanted a DSLR camera before we had kids- and he was listening!!!

Linda@ Restyled Home

Happy Birthday, Meg!!
My favourite gift every year is the same: the cards my kids make and chinese take-out. Perfect!

My sister outdid herself one year when she found a copy of my favourite childhood novel, The Secret Island, by Enid Blyton. I had searched for years, and she tracked one down in the UK! I was so touched.

Have a great day!!!!

I love my Kitchenaid Mixer that my husband bought me one year. My kids and I use it all the time and we have a lot of fun.

Brooke in WI

My best birthday gift ever received is actually coming up in 11 days! My sister is getting married on my 30th birthday. How fun is that!?!

Martha

Happy Birthday- Hope you have a great day!!!!!!!!

Nicole

Happy Birthday! I would say the best birthday gift I've ever received is the 580EX flash my husband bought me for my birthday two years ago, because he knew I was wanting one to shoot my first wedding, but I didn't want to spend that much money on something for myself. He picked it out all by himself!

Sam

Happy birthday Meg!!!! :-)

Raven

I love it! I think I'll use a picture of my grandparents rolling in the grass in the 1930s. It was taken before they were married and VERY RISQUE at the time. I hope I win. BTW, I love your house.

Happy Birthday to you and I hope it's grand and wonderful!

My favorite gifts really don't come wrapped in bows and wrapping. They are the little things my kids do for me on my birthday.....Like extra hugs and kisses and you are the best Mommy in the whole world, the handmade cards....Love those more than anything.

Happy Birthday! I would love one of your photos like that - I'd probably choose a sunflower photo as I saw those the first time I visited your blog this summer.

Anna Marie

Totally awesome, Megan!!! I'd have to say that the best gift was when I was 13 my grandparents got me the very first gameboy. I felt so lucky because no one else had it. Now that thing is like ancient!

Emily@remodelingthislife

Happy birthday! I love that sign and I love the photo on canvas!

You inspire with your colours, fonts, words and wishes. I wish you all the best in the coming year. Win or lose, it's a beautiful game.
:-)
Thanks
Sue

Denise V.

Happy Birthday to you! I had a 09-09-09 birthday this year and that was fun. How about my best give ever? It was on 1-17-01 when my cousin gave me a kidney! Having someone do this makes you feel very loved and special. We are both doing very well.

Sarah @ Clover Lane

I know just the picture I would use! Thanks for such a great giveaway!

Kelly O.

this is awesome! I'm off to check it out now!
Happy Birthday Megan!

The best birthday gift I have ever received?
a kitten. Oh it was a magical gift--until I went off to boarding school and came back to a full grown cat that hated me because I was a stranger in HIS house. He used to attack me in the bathroom when I was going pee (why do cats like bathrooms?) I used to have to fight him off hitting him over the head with the kleenex box! Stupid cat!!
but for those months that I first had him it was a dream come true ;)

Donna

Happy Birthday!
The best present I ever got was my camera!

Ani hearts Japan

The best birthday present I have ever received is my oldest son. He was born just a few days before my birthday! Happy Birthday!

Carissa

Beautiful! The best present was that my husband gave me a night in a hotel BY MYSELF without the kids! It was a blast! The next year he came with me, which was equally as wonderful.

amber

the best b-day gift i ever received was at my 30th birthday party where i had 8 of my best friends over and we ate and drank and danced and everyone brought their own dish. my sis wrote a poem about me that made everyone cry especially me. i was done!!! :-)

Em

I wish I had that little nook in my house...

Shelly DeBoer

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG! Hope your day is full to the brim with everything you love! I Adore the big canvas print... my fingers are crossed! My best birthday present, hmmm... I don't recall what my hubby actually purchased but he made his own giftwrap on the computer and made a custom bow and then left clues all through the house and I had to do a scavenger hunt of sorts to find the gift. It was so fun and I felt really loved that he put so much time into the day

Aby

The best birthday present I ever got was 8 years ago when after 7 years of trying to get pregnant and 6 weeks of shots for IVF, I found out that I was pregnant. With twins!!!

Karrie

What an AWESOME give away!!!
I would love to be entered to win it please!!!
The worst birthday present I ever received was a gourd bird house, painted to look like a killer whale. ?????
What does one do with something like that???

Christy

Love your pic! looks awesome on canvas.

I have a close up of my daughters sweet lil hands holding a four leaf clover that would be great on canvas.

I'd have to say my best birthday present ever was a homemade shelf with a window pane as a door on the front. A gift from my brother. It pleases me everytime I look at it. Besides being beautiful I think about all of the time & hardwork he put into it.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Tricia

Hi there. Love the new header, btw. Very fun!

Best birthday gift: Hhmmmmm..... My husband made me Twilight card for my 30th this year. Simple, completely dorky, but so cute!

XO*Tricia

Dianne

Wow I'd love to have one of my kids blown up huge for my living room!

erin

happy birthday! my best gift ever was finding out that we are pregnant! after a long road to get there, this was such a blessing.

Penny

Happy Birthday Meg. I love your display. The colors are wonderful. The best birthday gift I ever recieved has to be the surprise 40th birthday party my husband threw for me. It was so out of character for him to do something like that. All of my friends and family were there. It was so nice.
I would love to win this canvas and use one of my daughter's great photo's and surprise her! She is just learning to use her new Nikon D40 and doing awesome work!

Lulubird

Happy Happy Birthday!!

My best present ever? that would have to be when my husband proposed.

all together now.... "awwwwwww"

Niki

We didn't have much money when I was a kid but I never knew it. For my 6th birthday, my dad went to the dump and found all the pieces to put together a "new" bike. He fixed it up and spray painted it white and blue and put blue shiny ribbon tassels on the ends of the handle bars that floated in the breeze as I rode along. It was the best birthday present ever! And now that I'm a parent, it means even more to me that he went to all that work to provide me with something that I wanted!

I love your sunflower canvas. It is just stunning!

Suzanne

Happy Birthday!! My best birthday present was also my Christmas present (my birthday is in January) and it was my first sewing machine from my mom! I have used that present more than probably any other present!!

Solstice Mama

Happy Happy Birthday!!! I hope you are treated like a queen today!
The best birthday gifts are the funny little things my kids pick out that they just *know* I'll love. It's really fun to see what they choose.
Have an awesome day, Meg!

Chrissie Grace

I love that whole vignette. I want to sit right there and look through all the books...:)
Best birthday present? Corny but the handmade ones my kids make me.
I have a picture of one of my sons holding painted rocks that say "you are loved". That's the one I would get!

Tiffanee

I'm a big fan of Birthdays- Happy Birthday! The best gift I ever got was my 17th Birthday, April 9, 2001. My Brother had received a liver transplant in February and had been in the hospital since the previous November. He came home for the first time in 6 months on my 17th Birthday :)

Wendy

Happy Birthday, Meg! I hope it's a wonderful day for you. :) The best present that I can remember was for my birthday last week. Two little pom-pom animals hand crafted by one of my children (the chocolate raspberry fudge cake made by another child was too die for too). :)

Elizabeth

For my birthday in August, my parents gave me a homemade coupon (my family is really into those) for a shopping trip to pick out either a picture or a kitchen faucet...the fun part was mostly the shopping part...we went everywhere...looked at everything and hit all the clearance racks along the way...drank Sonic and got my favorite sandwich at Panera...what a great birthday coupon!
By the way, that picture is amazing! Have a great birthday!

Happy Birthday Meg! I got engaged on my birthday, that was a pretty awesome gift!

rebecca

Happy Birthday Meg!! I hope it's a great one. LOVE the Whatever sign!

Tiffany

Happy Birthday! I read your blog daily and really enjoy it!! The best bday gift I ever received would have to be diamond studs from my hubby....it's the only nice/expensive jewelry I have!! I would do a picture of our trip out west on the canvas...beautiful!

Lindsey Claassen

My best birthday present was when my husband brought my favorite Thai food home for me at lunch time last year....YUM!

Kelley

How cool, I want a big canvas! Pick me Pick me :)

My best birthday present was when my husband gave me a new macbook. His sister dumped water on my original one and killed it without an apology. That ended evenings with my husband on the sofa for a year while I sat in my office & could see him in the next room.

chrissy

My best birthday present was getting married to my hubby of 22 years on the day before my b-day.

adrienne

a three day trip to New York with my mom and daughter! we didn't stop the whole time we were there... i literally needed a vacation from our vacation when we got home :)

Jasmine

Heeeey ITS MY BIRTHDAY TOO!!! :)
Happy birthday!
My best gift ever was this year actually, i have wanted to see one of my favourite bands for about 4 and a half years now and never managed to get to see them live and someone bought me tickets to see them!!
xo

Miranda

First) Happy Birthday!
Second) That picture is crazy gorgeous
Third) My best birthday gift ever was a beautiful new dress that my husband had picked out all by himself...in my size! It was incredible.

Sallie

For my 40th birthday my husband gave me a surprise party. I loved how he cared enough to sweat the details and make it such a special and truly surprise event for me.

His gift to me that night was to present me with my flute, which I played through college years. He had it refurbished and silvered. It was so beautiful and such a thoughtful gift because he reintroduced me to the gift of music!

Beautiful pic! Happy Birthday to you!

Kathy Beams

Happy Birthday ! My best present was a big diamond ring - I got engaged on my birthday, on a plane and completely surprised !

Jess

Happy Birthday Megan! The sunflower print looks perfect.

My favorite birthday present? Cold hard cash. It's about the only time of the year I actually buy something for myself.

Kristin

Happy Birthday! My favorite birthday preset ever was a plastic black clipboard that opened up and had a separate compartment to store paper and pens. I got it for my 8th birthday and i still use it today. My Dad gave it to me...he knew my love for office supplies.

I just recently found your blog and I love it. I grew up in Kansas and went to school at KU so I appreciate all of your photos...especially the ones of sunflowers.

Jen CD

My best birthday present was a surprise party with all of the children I used to babysit when I was 16. I was sooo happy, and we played all evening long....what a great idea!

Sarah

Happy birthday!!! I love the picture you used. It looks gorgeous!! This is such an amazing giveaway!

The best birthday gift I ever received was a playhouse that my dad made for me when I turned 10 (I think). It was basically a shed that he added windows to, but he made the whole thing himself. They use it as a garden shed now, but it definitely got good use back in the day.

I hope you have a great day!

meg

Happy Birthday Megan! I love love love the canvas print! My favorite birthday gift was when my sister surprised me with a trip to the Grand Canyon for my 16th birthday!

Jenn Thomas

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!
My BEST birthday was August of 2002 when Russ told me he had one more special gift for me - He said "I Love You" for the first time. Is that too gushy or what! It was very special to me and I will always remember that moment.

Kari

Happy birthday to you! I love the picture you choose. My best birthday is when my husband proposed on my 21st birthday. Loved that birthday :)

beverly

Happy Bithday! Love the canvas. Your picture looks perfect. My best bday gift would have to be my camera!

Sally

Happy Birthday Meg - love your blog, and your photo's - a true inspiration!

andrea

my birthday is in the summer, and I love getting new flip flops from my husband! I love those in the $50-$100 range, but would NEVER spend that much to buy flip flops on my own! But they are a perfect GIFT!

Lori

Happy birthday! I laughed out loud (again) when you mentioned the lady at the fountain! So funny...
Honestly, my best bday presents have been homemade ones from my kids. Now that they are teenagers, those are rare to non-existent so I am so glad that I can look around at the slumpy clay vases/pots/?thingys, homemade jewelry and paintings that I received earlier. I love your sunflower canvas, indeed that whole vignette with the Whatever sign. Looking at your blog is happy-making!

Jen

What an amazing display in your home!

My most favorite birthday gift each year is a Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake. Who needs gifts or cards when you can have that ooey gooey center sandwiched between ice cream!

heather

Happy Birthday to YOU!!!

My best birthday gift was this year: my new camera!! woohoo!

Katie Reeder

Happy Birthday! Favorite birthday present...hmmm...a sweet necklace from my parents for my 21st bday!

Audrey

Happy Birthday!!!!
Beautiful canvas - I've actually been thinking about ordering one of these for a while. So gorgeous. My favorite birthday gift has been a trip home to spend some time with my family. We live 12 hours away and don't get to see family often so I always love our trips. They're even better when they occur on my birthday!

Toni :O)

Happy Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for the chance to win! My best birthday present EVA was this year my husband got me two tickets for him and I to go to see Def Leppard in concert. They are my favorite childhood band, always, always, ALWAYS wanted to see them and they finally came to Detroit area on a Friday night, he got a babysitter for the kids and took me to an awesome concert!

jen@ourdailybigtop

Happy Birthday! My best bday gift ever - my proposal from my husband :) PS: Love the whatever sign. That rocks!

Amy

Happy Birthday!

I love big canvas prints. What a great prize!

My favorite birthday present was when I turned 30. My hubs surprised me by flying in my sister from Florida. I don't know how he kept it a secret...but he pulled it off!

Art Cant Hurt

it was last year - i turned 30 the day after we found out mom had terminal cancer. that might sound crazy but I didn't want anything more than to feel the tangible love of my family. We were all sharing tears and laughter as our emotions ran high but it was everything wonderful because we were TOGETHER and that's something we take for granted too often. God is good.

Stephanie

What a great giveaway!
I can't recall a BEST gift I ever received, but last year's was pretty special. When my parents and I were visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art I fell in love with an Ansel Adams photograph. They remembered this and for my next birthday they got a poster print and had it professionally framed. I love it and it's hanging in my office. That was pretty cool.

Katie

Happy Birthday! My favorite was my easy bake oven when I was little. Man, how I loved that thing!

Susan

Happy Birthday!!! Have a FABULOUS DAY!!
Love the way your picture turned out its beautiful.

Erin

Hard to even remember sometimes! Maybe when my husband bought me my sewing machine - he had his mom help him go pick one out and it was something I didn't expect at all!

Nicole

Gorgeous picture and I love your house!

Pam

Happy Birthday!! What a great giveaway. I am always looking for ways to decorate our home and beautiful family picture on a canvas would be wonderful!!

Love your blog!!

Christian@Modobject at Home

Well, happy birthday! My best birthday gift ever... last year's gift from my husband, a Nikon D60. I cried.

Kristina

Best birthday gift....having a real chimpanzee come to by 7th birthday party...thanks dad:)
