Birthday Giveaway ♥

About a year ago, one smart girl commented in my blog and told me " i see potentials in those little dolls ". Ideas started flowing in my head and the Muffinpies were born. Today is a beautiful sunny day. And today is my BIRTHDAY ...Nope, i won't tell how old i am...ummm, ok, why not, it is just a number after all. I am still young and crazy in my heart...Well, i just turned 50...I looked in the mirror and saw no difference. So why worry ?And i proudly told hubby who is 4 years younger, " at least, i don't have one single grey hair , and you do. " He says it is ok for him to have grey hair, it is part of his charm. He also says he looks just as handsome as George Clooney. ( rolled my eyes )

My very first set of Muffinpies


To celebrate my birthday and also to celebrate
Muffinpiemania, i decided i would make a giveaway and give one Muffinpie. Her name is Geraldine Muffinpie, she looks a little sad, but i
think it is because she wants so much to travel like all the other muffinpies. So if you love her little sad face and would love to have her home with you, all you have to do is leave me a comment With your email adress to those who do not have a blog so i can contact you if you win Geraldine. I will announce the winner tuesday, June 1st and will add a little extra gift, but that will remain a surprise.
I wish to thank all those wonderful ladies who beleive in my art. Without you, my Muffinpies would probably not exist. I also wish to thank that smart girl who beleived these little dolls would become so famous one day. :)

Have a happy and wonderful day my lovelies ♥

p.s. I took new and better pictures of sweet Geraldine

...many, many wishes for a beautiful birthday, you're a young lady not only in your mind, don't forget it! ;o)

A big hug from Italy, and thanks so much for this generous chance too! :o*

P.S. maybe the winning rule to feel and live well is to have a younger hubby nearby (I'm almost 47 and my hubby is 42), what do you think? ;o)

Many happy returns of the day, Monique!

Your Muffinpies are beginning to spread their gentle magic around a certain island in the eastern Mediterranean making some little girls very happy.

Geraldine's sad pout reminds me of my little girl when the world doesn't go her way.

Thank you again for sharing all this enchantment with us!

Hello, Monique! I was browsing Etsy without any goal a couple of weeks ago when I found your shop there. It was an instant love and I quietly read your blog ever since. The first set of Muffinpies was so very sweet. Those eyes!! I love them so very much it's hard not to copy them somewhere :)))!! And your giveaway is perfect! :)
So Happy Birthday from Russia!! Wish you many more great projects!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday!!!
Congratulations, may all you dreams come true for this year of your life. And may your 50's be the best ones yet! I think of you everyday when I see the girls. They are so very cute and fun to have around. And no matter how busy I am they make me stop and smile! It's so hard not to want to pick them up and have a little chat! :)
merci beaucoup m'amie!

Life is a small town and at the backyard of nice people there is always nice, happy things like Geraldine.Geraldine is so close too me but I like her just when I cover my hairs with rollers. Our gardens are so close, we just have borders with small flowers planted on. We are living in the same neighbourhood. That's why I want to say : HAPPY BİRTHDAAAAYY...! I'm so lucky that I came acroos with little muffinpies. hugs :) and one muffin in my hands with a candle on. Please say pfffff : )

Oh, I understand why Geraldine´s mouth pouts in this sad way - mine turns just the same way when I am upset. And I understand her dream of travelling too - but to that I found an easy solution. If I cannot rush out into the world, I let the world come to me :-) Earlier, during the "iron curtain ;-)" times I used to travel via books, music, films and art. Today I do a lot of my travelling via internet - meeting people on the net, just as I would meet them somewhere out there "on the" road.
And I am very glad to have met you :-) - just now - through etsy and your blog. I will come to visit from time to time, if you do not mind... Yours is a very warm, pleasant and inspiring place...
I feel you must be a "sister soul" to us (me and my daughter) who sometimes instead of bed-time stories just try to overhear the conversations of our fabric toys - an old doll from India and two fabric pigs ;-)
Your dolls have such character - and as it seems - very independent minds ;-)
I´ve been thinking a lot about age recently, too. My mother is growing older, and suddenly underneath all her usual strenght i can sense this fragility I never noticed before. And I watch my daughter grow up, still living in a tender world of fantasies and magic, yet already peeking into the big girl´s world of independence and self-creation.
I am somewhere in between, a bit like you, just wondering how come that I feel still the same girl but some things are just not the same any more ... But it seems to be a good time for reflection and finding new things ... So that´s what I wish you for your birthday -celebrate this time of reflection, use it to the full and enjoy the girl of yourself :-) You are a unique girl :-) Without you the Miuffinpies would not be there to dream of travels and cuddly homes and whatever else they dream of...:-) HAPPY BIRDTHDAY !
