Man you are a crack up!! The relief of having MrHB return seems to be going to your head!!
ReplyDeleteCan I put my hand up please for the Japanese print pack, that would be loverrrly as I have a very slow growing collection of navy/white prints for a long term project gradually collecting and I think these ones would fit in nicely :-) My airport code is MEL (hello neighbour!) and hopefully my blog info will turn up correctly when I press Post Comment, so here goes...
Lol. My airport code is PER and a air drop of either with be the best relief package for this mama
ReplyDeleteHey There, i would love to hop on board Flight 200 on Air Blog-A-Lot, my airport code is BNE and my blog is whatkatydiddesign.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteI would love the Japanese fabric, it's beautiful!
come in flight 200 this is air traffic control maytheclothbewithyou. It appears you have clear skies all the way to your destination: airport TGN with Special cargo "kids fabric" on board. Have a safe journey. Over and out
ReplyDeleteGreat post - what a great giveaway too! I will certainly put up my hand for the kids pack please! Airport code is CBR and I am www.buttonbeauty.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
You're so funny :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love either because I'm a risk taker like that!
My nearest airport is MLB as far as i know

Awesome giveaway - count me in for either (the kids prints are totally gorgeous but I always sew for the kids and I'm in dire need of something for myself and the japanese prints are irresistable). My airport code is CHC.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Melinda (melinda_dench@hotmail.com)
I'll be boarding at SYD, though my heart's home is SFO. As one of those passengers in the rear of the plane, I'd be happy with whichever gift pack makes it back to us. I've located my life vest and and am happy to remind passengers that additional routes are available via Dick and Jane Air
ReplyDeleteFor now, I'll sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.
I could make some silly joke about the mile high club coinciding with Mr HB's return. But I'll refrain. My code is SYD 802. Your passengers are invited for a stopover at PottyMouthMama land too to pick up extra goodies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smooth landing.
Either is tops by me!
Great post. You are such a witty one. I'll be departing from MEL with either of those gorgeous packs.
ReplyDeleteYippee! I'm halfway between Tullamarine and Avalon - MEL & AVV and I would be extremely happy with either of those gorgeous packs.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on a flight in quite a while (too much hassel to arrange in flight oxygen). Will you be kind enough to supply some for me?
Count me in please - LST is where we are! Both backs are beautiful and a surprise is always nice!
ReplyDeleteooooh Japanese fabric please. can you believe my airport code is OOL !!! what's that about?
ReplyDeletethanks
pen
(gold coast airport)
awesome entry.. hehe, my code is CBR for either pack
ReplyDeleteand blog is www.katkreations.blogspot.com
When flying air blog-a-lot I choose the japanese fabric pack. Hope there were some in flight goodie packs for you and the boys to enjoy on Mr B's return. You can route any prizes via MEL. I'm sure I can speak for all your readers when I say I've enjoyed the ride and look forward to flying with you again!
ReplyDeleteMaam? Where are the sick bags?
ReplyDeletehehehehe, just kidding, I've never chucked on a flight yet, and I'm sure the Air-Blog-A-Lot flight will be smooooth sailing.
I look forward to setting down in sunny CFS airport.
I love both packages, so I'm game for the lucky dip approach. :)

pick me. Im MEL airport. I want the kiddy ones. pick me.pick me.
ReplyDeletego on.
This is hilarious, and great to see where everyone is flying from. My code is BNE and I love both packs so either will be fine :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading your posts, you are always so funny!
ReplyDeleteMy closest airport is MEL. It was a tough decision but I think the kids pack would be nice if I win.
A sunroof is always a must with every plane I fly in (departing from TWB). The childrens prints will fit in the overhead.
ReplyDeleteI'm departing from ADL. I'd love to receive the kids' pack - is it handed out by the hostie with a beehive?
ReplyDeleteAirport HBT calling Flight 200 for landing on Japanses strip with care and avoid the children...
ReplyDeletegreat post! hehe I was expecting an 'I'm having a break post' to start with. My code is MEL :o) My first thought was the Japanese fabric, but the other is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteWow great giveaway! i can't choose so for me "either" please!
ReplyDeleteMy code is AMS!!!
Wau!!!!I'll love to win the Japonese fabrics!!!
ReplyDeleteMy airpot code is OPO, a little far away, isn'tit?
Good morning to you too. What do you mean I can't turn left? Full! How can it be full? I booked my seat weeks ago!!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me. Sir, excuse me! EXCUSE ME!! If I must sit back here with the herd would you please inform the keepers of whatever primate is kicking my seat that if it doesn't stop I shall add the hide of their pride and joy to my colobus monkey boot collection!
While I am reluctant to interrupt the trolley service you are so obviously joyfully providing I am still waiting for my chicken. Regardless of what it says I ordered I must have the chicken. I am on a special diet and white protein is essential at this particular time for my health!
Oh sod it! Just pass me the champagne bottle. It will make getting home to LHW just about bearable.
We at local airport MEB are happy to join the bun-fight back here in the cheap seats.
ReplyDeleteThanks for turning the intercom back on! Or was it the in-fight entertainment system?
Why do I always have to sit next to that very, very large guy who I know will hog the armrest??!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a MEL girl and would love to go into the running for the kids pack.
Very cute post, glad you are not flying solo anymore and have the extra ground staff back home.
I love your sense of humor! I would love either set, please.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a giveaway on my blog as well, if you'd like to drop by.
Cute, cute, cute. Post and fabric, I mean.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win either. My local is TSV (and that's such a cute website).
Thanks ;)
Tanya.
I will be departing the country home for Melbourne very soon, with a stop over in Werribee.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the exit seat because I like extra space for my short legs!!
Both Fabrics look great! I too wish I was as witty as you!
Keep up the great work!
You make my mornings....its so funny. Having just departed MEL for SIN, have rebooked for return to MEL in 2009.
ReplyDeleteWeather: expect afternoon thunderstorms and heavy showers, temp 33, humidity 90%
Loving Japanese fabrics especially top image.
Good Morning captain, great post!
ReplyDeleteMy local airport is CBR, I'd love the Kiddies pack!
my blog is http://blackbirdsewing.blogspot.com/
I am hoping to arrive in MEL as soon as I can leave crazy sewing woman land. One of your best ever posts - too funny. Hard to beat child in a bag though! I think I like the kids one, but either would be great!
ReplyDeleteYou have laughing again HB. Please include me in your lovely giveaway - either draw is good for me but probably have a preference for the Japanese. - Yay love a giveaway
ReplyDeleteFlying in from SYD by the way
I would have to question the safety of your chosen aircraft, given that it is missing its roof!
ReplyDeletePlease put name name down for either gift-pack. My closest airport is MBW.
Great giveaway!
Very funny. I would love either if I get the chance! My code is PER and Im at http://sewmuchtomake.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletexGilly

ReplyDeleteMy nearest airport it LLT (yours too perhaps?)
my blog is http://hollyhockhollow.com and I like the Japanese :)
Good day, Captain! It's my first time flying Air Blog-A-Lot - I do hope you don't mind. I heard of you when I was sailing the S.S. One Pretty Thing, and thought I'd come aboard. I'm connecting from airport DSM, and though the complimentary peanuts aren't to my taste, the Japanese fabric certainly is!
ReplyDelete--Amy
(amyemi@gmail.com)
LOL
ReplyDeleteAir Blog-A-Lot Captain the nearest airport to me is EPR but I am wishing it was MEL, SYD, BNE anywhere but here really lol.
Would love to be in the draw for the japenese fabrics please.
Would love to interconnect on to your flight from PER. Please send the beverage trolley down the aisle. Looking forward to the onboard entertainment.
ReplyDeletewhat a cool giveaway and a great way to find the other wonderful giveaways around at the moment!! My airport code is LST and I would love either pack but I guess my absolute favourite would be the Kids one!!
ReplyDeleteHi Air Blog-a-lot,
ReplyDeleteplease can we come aboard flight 200? We like either pack and we love your blog!
Airport code- MEL.
Ahh, after a tough week this has cheered me up, I'll out my hand up for that great Japanese pack.
ReplyDeleteMust go read over your older posts for more giggles (not that I've ever giggled!)
Love the inflight entertainment!
ReplyDeleteHere's my boarding pass!
Destination: HBA (Hobart)
Class: Kids Pack
Generous giveaway, great sense of humour. Thank you for both (especially for making me chuckle on a cold, wet Ballarat day with groceries, cleaning and Christmas shopping - not to mention crafting - all crying out to be done. My airport code is MEL and I'm happy with pot luck. Jan (jandwyer@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteOoh I love a giveaway!Please enter me for the kiddy set. And I'd like a pesco-vegetairian dairy-free meal please with plastic cultery please.
ReplyDeleteOops, and that's departing from MEL, thanks!
ReplyDeleteDestination: SYD. Package contents. Either. Blog: http://miscellanyofme.blogspot.com. Thank yooouuuuuu!!!
ReplyDeleteI just came over from uh... well, heck, I don't remember and I had a ton of windows open. Another blogger! one where you left a comment! (I know, how useful is THAT??) I am reading with interest as I have two young sons and am also late to sewing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to enter your contest- my nearest airport is RAP, and I think I'd like the Japanese set, if I won.
I'm another one tuning in from MEL, and those Japanese fat quarters are highly covetable. Such a funny blog post - you are absolutely one of my favourite bloggers, you always make me laugh and your crafting is terrific. Please keep it up - I smile whenever my blog reader shows up "hoppo bumpo" in bold!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I almost missed this (have been updating my google reader and missed a few things... oh no!). Geez HB, you crack me up!! I could go either the children's or the Japanese pack. Am I allowed to sit on the fence??
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be the most entertaining giveaway I have ever seen! I love all those kid prints, so cute! My nearest airport would be IND, hopefully you will make a stop here!
ReplyDeleteWell written! I got a good chuckle out of this.
ReplyDeleteSAC is closest to me.
And, being ridiculously indecisive, I'm going to say either would be fine by me!
This post and the comments have cracked me up,just the funniest thing. So i will join the flight too, I'll be boarding from BDB, and would love the kids pack if I was so lucky.
ReplyDeleteI have boarded from PER & would be interested in the japanese prints. Could I also have a set of headphones, I forget to collect them earlier.

My nearest airport is DSM. I would be very interested in the kid prints.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and look forward to reading more. I love the theme of this post.
Best of luck with giveaway!
Another MEL passenger here.....lovin' those kids prints! What a generous givaway!
ReplyDeleteI believe my nearest airport's code is YSN (which is a small local airport - the commercial airport we use most often is YLW). I'd love a chance to win the Japanese fabric.
ReplyDeleteikkinlala AT yahoo DOT ca
:Ds Dropped off the delurk list to come fly with Air Blog-a-lot. (Thanks for the :Ds it has been wall to wall subhuman here).
ReplyDeleteI will be joining your flight at SIN and getting off at BNE or PER or NRT to relocate in the not too distant future (gotta love it when one sunny day a global meltdown decides that you need to uplift your life again).
We will be travelling kids class and no doubt passenger Trashalou will be adding CT's hide to the collection. But it would not be the primate's boots that would be making her see red it would be the tray table that would be of issue...
Could you please issue tickets to http://annayama.wordpress.com
Too funny!
ReplyDeleteMy airport is SEA, and either pack would be so awesome!!!
LOL! This is Astrid reporting to Captain Hoppo Bumpo, I wouldn't mind hopping on board Flight 200 carrying my pack of Japanese goodies on Air Blog-A-Lot, my airport code is CPH and my blog is www.connectingthedots.dk .
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for the giveaway! This is my first comment here :) My airport code is MZT, and my e-mail address is adri_pc@hotmail.com

I'm still laughing! Just discovered your blog via a stopover at thornberry! I'm departing from MEL hoping to head for HND to get some ideas for using the Japanese fat quarters!
ReplyDeleteHola! Come on over to PVR with those fat quarters! I cannot get any here! They would be put to great use! I prefer the kids pack but both are lovely.
ReplyDeleteGracias in advance!
That's so fun! This is the cutest give away ever. My airport is JFK and my blog url is http://qqfcrochet.blogspot.com. Thanks for the chance!
