And...what better way to C E L E B R A T E than with a felt banner stating that exact sentiment!
I created this "Celebrate" banner using recycled felt and cotton fabrics. There are also little red heart buttons glued to the center of the stars. Included is a red polka dot ribbon long enough to hang your new banner and an extra dose of fun with a set of my kindness cards!
So, here is the deal: Leave a comment by answering this question:
If you could create a new holiday in which to celebrate your most favorite of things, what would it be? For example, I would celebrate "All-Girl Road Trips, Surprise Gifts, and Mid-afternoon Naps".
**Winner will be chosen at random.**
** Giveaway ends Thursday, May 20th at midnight EDT**
And what is a good celebration without more than one door prize?!
I have TWO of these banners to giveaway!!
GOOD LUCK!

Wow! I'm the first! Let me start off by saying, A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E banner! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were to create my own holiday to celebrate it would be "Ice cream any time of the day!" :)
Pick me, pick me! I would celebrate nightly chocolate chip cookies and milk before bed!
ReplyDeleteI would make a holiday that throws a wedding shower for those who have stuck it out and stayed married for 15yrs. How cool would it be to have beautiful new stuff after all has been ruined. I don't think I have 1 matching glass in my cabinet!
ReplyDeleteOn a less selfish note - I think we should have 1 day a week that nothing is allowed to be open/scheduled except the emergent things (hospitals, etc.). It used to be Sundays.

My sweet hubby always celebrates the day we got engaged. So I deem Feb 10th every year should be a day of celebrating Engagements :-)
ReplyDeleteHow about "My Husband Made Dinner, Did the Dishes, and Wiped off the Kids' Faces All in One Day" day?
ReplyDeleteCheck out my fabric giveaway at http://pitterputterstitch.blogspot.com.
i love this banner! I'd celebrate a day at the movies! All day long spent watching your favorite movies with all the essential movie snacks! That would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would celebrate the nights that both of my daughters go to bed quickly and without a fuss! It happens so rarely that it definitely warrants celebration!

Adventures... Whenever we are in the car and lost or something else is not quite right, we always make it fun by saying, "We're on an adventure!"
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a "Read a book" day where it would be expected that everyone spends the day in quiet lounging and reading a book! I never get any time to just lie around and read.
ReplyDeleteI love the banner! I would celebrate no dirty laundry day! A day in which I am not washing clothes and no dirty clothes are created for me to have to wash later! haahaa!
ReplyDeleteGreat banner! I'm with you and would celebrate afternoon naps. I might add fresh baked cinnamon roll day too! :) crafts(dot)petersen(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteI'd like a day to celebrate people who we are blood related to, but who we love like family.

ReplyDeleteCould we have a celebrate good food day? Or maybe a celebration of the garden?

i think there should be a "sewing holiday" a week to do nothing but sew... but where the house would not ex/implode while you are doing it!
ReplyDeleteI actually participate in the Odd Holiday swaps on Craftster! They are great! I even make up calenders with the odd holidays on them, I'm a nerd, I know, but I find it gives me inspiration with my 2 young kids. My personal favorite so far has been "Something on a stick day" which I forgot to get stuff for in March so we are moving to my bday in June because why the heck not? I see you like frugal fun activities with kids? Send me your email and I'll send you the June calender when I get it up!
ReplyDeleteDon't miss my unofficial giveaway!
I would love a "no cleaning, no chores, only sewing or other hobbies day." Wouldn't that be soooo nice??? Love this little banner! It's so sweet! It would be great for my daughter's 2nd b-day in the fall! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteIf I could make a new holiday it would be a mandatory family fun day! My house is always a mess but our family has a ball doing things together and I know alot of people dont get down on the kids level and really enjoy them.

ReplyDeleteI would celebrate pancakes and rain storms. Thanks for the chance to win the banner. I bookmarked the 100 fun, frugal things to do this summer w/kids. I'm looking forward to coming back and checking it out
ReplyDeleteHolidays always get so busy and crazy, they end up being a time of stress for people. So I would make a holiday were you can't plan a head, but instead enjoy the day in the moment with what you have on hand.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a sibling day just for siblings to get together and share the love!
ReplyDeletelisadpope@yahoo.com
I would celebrate FAMILY DAY!

Great banners! I would love to have a 'Mommy's day off day' where I can just do what I want to for a whole day with no responsibilities. How about, once a month?? I'd spend the day reading, crafting, swimming......sleeping.
ReplyDeleteCake day - a day to eat cake for absolutely no reason other than I want to.
ReplyDeleteraegreen1[at]verizon[dot]net
oh my goodness, everyone has such great ideas for holidays! I want all those holidays too! My first thought was cupcake day. I love cupcakes, but is that really something to celebrate? maybe. I think I would want a "peace" day, where no one fights with anyone all day (especially the kiddos not fighting with their siblings.) and everyone is especially nice and kind to one another. (you know, how people should be every day)
ReplyDeleteI think it would be nice to have a sewing day. to celebrate all crafters.
ReplyDeletethanks
atchisonsteph@gmail.com
LOL love your idea for a new holiday mine would be a day to celebrate dark chocolate. Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteI would celebrate Family Day. No cell phones allowed family time.
ReplyDeleteI would celebrate the first day of planting. Have a little yard party, everyone trade plants ready to go into the ground. It'd be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would turn the first day of spring and the first day of summer into holidays! How much fun would bbq's poolside be, or having a party to do some garden planning?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway.

I would invent International Childhood Day (I know in Brazil they have Children's day, I don't think we have anything like it in the US). We'd celebrate childhood, and everyone could have the day off to go have fun with their families.
ReplyDeleteby the way, I am new to your blog and I just took a browse around and I loved that you delivered twins at home (over 7lbs each too! That is amazing...high 5 to you. I delivered my 2nd son at home, but the 1st and 3rd were both at the hospital because insurance pays for it...bummer, but we'll save so we can have more homebirths. Out here in CA it is $4000, out of pocket, I loved having a homebirth though...a lot of people just don't understand how wonderful it is).
thanks for the giveaway!

National Coca-Cola Day. Tragic but true.

Love the banner! I would create a Pie Day! I love Apple Pie personally, but I think life is so much better with a little pie!
ReplyDeleteI love this banner! I think I would have a "Just take time to love your family day" All too often there isn't enough time in the day to just enjoy the small things with little children. So I would just take a whole day to do, and play and laugh about whatever we wanted.
ReplyDeleteI would love to celebrate, we're going on a date tonight! No kids no responsibilities just me and my hubby. I think that would be fun.
ReplyDeleteI would celebrate a holiday where is was acceptable to eat donuts all day. Ha! lindsey_ncl@yahoo.com

ReplyDeletemy love language is food, and my favorite part of holidays and traditions is always based around what we eat. I think I'd love a fondue day, or an oriental food day, or a comfort food day.

I love the banner. I'm a mama to 5 also (all boys though!!!) I would love a crafting day holiday or a garden day holiday or a Dad-plans-and-cleans-up-all-the-meals holiday!!!
ReplyDeleteI might have to start a campaign for that one :)

I would celebrate RAOK day, a holiday about giving. On RAOK day, everyone should do at least one Random Act Of Kindness for someone else, preferably a perfect stranger. Something as simple as holding the door open for someone with their hands full to paying for the guy behind you at the drive through. Just a little something, totally unexpected, to brighten someone's day.
ReplyDeleteThis banner would be great for one of my DILs who entertains ALL THE TIME FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER!!!! And then, they just had their 5th child, so lots of birthdays in the years ahead to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteIf I could invent a something to celebrate...I think I would like a month of solitude. I like my peace and quiet and the noise of this world and it's gadgets grates on my ears!
