Introducing the One Days of Giveaways! A new CZ Design holiday tradition (at least for this year)

Introducing the One Days of Giveaways! A new CZ Design holiday tradition (at least for this year)

I always wished I had a ginormous operating budget for my blog to do an awesomely huge holiday giveaway as a way to say thank you for reading my blog.

You know, think Oprah’s Favorite Things, but CZ Design-style. On Day One, you’d win an orange sweatshirt. On Day Two, you’d win three sessions with Joe, my physical therapist. On Day Three, a blue raspberry ICEE. And on Day Four, a new car!

But right now I only have the means for a One Days of Giveaways™ (just kidding, it’s not trademarked), and I think it’s pretty awesome.

Today, I have three copies of the brand spankin’ new Photoshop Elements 12 for three of you. It’s so new that I don’t even have a copy yet. But of course, no copy of Photoshop Elements would be as much fun without digital goodies to play with, so each of the three winners will get their choice of any 10 of my products (no limits on what you choose).

Give

This giveaway is now closed. Check back on Friday morning to see if you’re a winner.

    I don’t look good in orange so glad you’re offering PSE12 rather than the sweatshirt 🙂 Looking forward to our neighbourhood party – it’s a tradition that I love!

  5. Amanda @ Click. The Good News says

    I tried leaving a comment about what I’m looking forward to but it’s not posting…but my other ones are. Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I love the holiday cheer everywhere & how everybody’s mood is lifted.

  12. Jill Evans says

    Watching old Christmas movies while my friend Carol and I try to figure out my new Silhouette!

    🙂

  15. Sara Belgrove says

    Hey Cathy! I am looking forward to my kids seeing Santa and telling him what they want for Christmas, to attending carols by candlelight, to the big man coming and seeing my children’s faces and to celebrating family and all that is good in life. I have followed you for a long time (years?) on Facebook and Twitter. 🙂

    Thanks for your awesome One Days of Giveaways. 😉

  19. Kym says

    My in laws spend Christmas in Florida, and every other year we do the same. I love the little shot of warm weather in the middle of my Michigan winter! Can’t wait!

  20. Leslie M. says

    I’m looking forward to Christmas with all 3 adult children here and one daughter in law! Yes everyone! Thank you!

  23. Anita says

    I’m looking forward to having everyone home for the holidays…some lazy mornings catching up with my college kids, non-rushed together time. So excited!

  26. Tami Kropiwka says

    Looking forward to spending time with family doing the some winter activities like snowmobiling, watching the snow fall, laying on the floor looking up at the christmas tree lights!

  27. amy w says

    As far as FB goes, “Um, Hello? Been doing that for, like, ever!” But I don’t Twitter. Enough is enough-it’s not you!

  29. Julie says

    I am looking forward to seeing all the Christmas card pictures roll in. I add them to the scrapbook instead of wondering what to do with them like I did for years.

  31. Shirlee says

    I’m looking forward to seeing the faces of those whom I’ve gifted this year, especially my 3 year old grandson who wants everything he see’s on TV! What’s that saying “It’s better to give than receive?” (I secretly like to receive a little something in my stocking too!)

  33. Paul B says

    It may not be a big budget Oprah-style giveaway but heck it’s one huge, stonking & fabulous gift. I don’t have the latest software either and would step over designers in the street for a copy lol. I’d also sell my grandma for any of your digital designs. But , it’s the season of goodwill, so instead, I’m leaving a comment lol. All is well here in the UK. Pxx

  34. Lucy C. says

    looking forward to relaxing and spending time with family after a busy month of getting ready for Christmas.

  37. Melissa says

    I’m most looking forward to Christmas with my brother and his family since we don’t get to see them very often.

  38. SherriS. says

    I’m looking forward to 2 weeks off during the holidays since I just got a job in a school, woot {still a kid at heart}. Seriously spending time with family and a visit to my bff in Fla will make me happy. Thanks for a chance at great One Days prizes!

  40. sandy says

    I’m looking forward to holiday events with friends and family. A little decorating, lots of eating and good company. Since I don’t do Facebook or Twitter, I’ll have to hope that this entry is the winning number! Love your stuff- Merry Christmas.

  41. Jan says

    Love give-aways and PSE12 would be fabulous to win! I still use PSE8. This month I am most looking forward to some peace and rest. We don’t do big holidays much – mostly just family (rather small at this time), good food (how could you not in South Louisiana) and Holiday themed movies.

  42. Julie S says

    I’m looking forward to having my eldest home from University so we can spend some family time together! Enjoy the season. I love that your are mindful that Aidan is off to College next year.

  44. Cheri says

    I am most looking forward to having all three of my daughters back home and our Christmas Eve traditions – dinner out, visiting neighborhoods with lots of Christmas lights, then watching “Elf” before bed.

  48. Mary-Lou says

    One item on my Santa wish list is for a quieter and healthier digestive system so I can enjoy all my own baking!

  57. Diane Anthony says

    I am most looking forward to welcoming my new grandson. He will be my second. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate the season with family!

  58. heidig says

    I’m looking forward to the holidays and time spent with my family! What an awesome giveaway!

  61. Sherry G says

    I’m looking forward to exams being finished (I teach college) so that I can get into the holiday spirit.

  63. Christine says

    I follow you on twitter and Instagram and liked you on FB.

    The thing I look forward to the most is baking together with my husband who is a pastry chef in his spare time, as a hobby. We bake the tradional Christmas pasties and breads from our native Holland and some specialties from Germany and Switzerland like WeihnachtStollen bread. I’m always in awe how get makes the almond filling fresh and by hand.
    It’s one if the few traditions we have being kid-less at home and living in another country your traditions tend to change.

  64. Stacey Rhea says

    December 26th – This is the first year divorced and the ex has the kids for Christmas. I get them back on December 26th and my college son is flying back from his dad’s with the other too. I will have all my “babies” home with me.

  66. Linda van Rossem says

    Hello Cathy, More fun in 2014!!! 2013 was already a treat. Really love your blog and facebook page.
    I love decorating the tree with husband and kids. And then all together on the couch watching a movie.

  67. Heidi says

    I am most looking forward to seeing the Christmas lights on James island. And I have been a follower like forever! lol

  71. Jodie says

    I love the holidays! I’m looking forward to much this month. Mostly I can’t wait to have my kids home for two weeks. I love these teen years!

  73. Julie says

    Looking forward to twinkle lights and holiday music and celebrating the reaSon for the season!

  76. Julie says

    And if it matters, you’re piped into my Instagram feed as well ;). I’m a CZ junkie, apparently.

  77. Tonja Trump says

    I am most looking forward to spending time with my family and a day or two off consecutively. And Um, hello, I already follow you on twitter and facebook, have an email subscription (which has its own folder like AE remember), and read the blog too.
    I’m not stalking, honest. 🙂

  79. Becky P. says

    I already follow you on Facebook – that is how I “heard” about this fantastic giveaway!

  80. Claire T says

    I am really looking forward to creating some new December traditions with my three year old. She really gets the whole Christmas thing now!

  85. Linda Auclair says

    I’m looking forward to the annual Christmas concert at the Middle School – I’ve got a percussionist and a first chair clarinet, and they both sing in the chorus too! I’m also looking forward to my youngest’s Holiday Show where she will perform three different dances: tap, jazz and ballet! It’s a super busy photo-taking month, and having a new PSE to edit all those photos would be the bomb-diggity. 🙂 As for the entering qualifications – “Um, Hello? Been doing that for, like, ever!” 🙂 Happy Holidays to you and yours, Cathy!

  89. LindaH says

    I liked your Facebook page 🙂
    I’m most looking forward to decorating for the holidays–it always makes me happy!

  90. D says

    And, “Um, Hello? Been doing that for, like, ever!” – but I’m not stalking you … honest! 🙂

  93. Marty says

    I’m looking so forward to my daughter and husband moving back to our home town after living in Northern Idaho for over 2 years. I read your blog, and follow you on facebook too. I also get your newsletter!

  94. Jill says

    I’m looking forward to our family Christmas Cruise! 🙂
    And um… I’ve been following you on Facebook and Twitter… for … like… EVER! 🙂
    LOVE your blog!!!

  95. Nitasha G. says

    I’m looking forward to being wrapped up in the spirit of the season! I want to really get to the core of the holidays and spend more time with family playing games, baking, talking & just enjoying each other!

  96. Melanie L. says

    First of all, I love your “One Days of Giveaways” line! That is so you and the reason I follow you everywhere. Next, there is so much to choose from that I’m looking forward to in December since my hubby and I also have birthdays this month, but what I’m looking forward to the most is having my oldest child back home from college so we can all be together again. He is a freshman in a Boston are college and we are back here in Texas and he hasn’t been home since we dropped him off at school in August. I miss him so much!

  97. Wendy says

    Oh, put my name in for that orange sweatshirt!!! Orange is the new black, or so they say LOL

    I’m looking forward to our super secret surprise Disney trip in only 2 days… although I must admit I’m most looking forward to REVEALING the trip to my 7 year old daughter. I’ve been You Tube-ing (is that verb?) Disney surprise videos for weeks now and I cry at most of them.

  98. Jennie says

    I’m so looking forward to taking 2 weeks off at the end of the year and spending quality time with my kiddos – and hopefully getting set up for Project Life 2014 since I fell off the bandwagon pretty early this year. I’m thinking digital is the way to go, and your shop is my first stop! If I win, I’d love to donate Elements to someone else who could use it – I’ve got access to the Adobe Cloud through work…. Thanks for the chance!

  100. Kay says

    I am looking forward to the whole month! I love it all, from the frenzied preparation to the celebratory Christmas Eve champagne and the annual viewing of “It’s A Wonderful Life”
    And I’ve liked you on FB since it was a personal page, but I just don’t tweet. Does IG count? Because I follow you there. And I get your newsletter. So it’s probably just as well I don’t tweet because even to myself I am beginning to sound like a stalker….

  101. mickmouse923@yaoo.com says

    Looking forward to making more holiday memories with my family and friends….and of course the TWINKLE!!! YAY!

  102. Mary Kay says

    I always look forward to putting up the tree– probably this weekend– even though it makes me cry because I tell the kids the story of all the ornaments, many of which were my mom’s.

    I have been coveting PSE12, so thanks for the opportunity!

  106. Ellie Augustin says

    This year is different for us as I had a baby this past Summer who was born at 27 wks so the whole Summer was spent going bk & forth ea day to the NICU my other 3 children were amazing and didn’t complain at all that basically they weren’t a Summer. With all the love & support we now have our tiny sweet baby home & what I am mostly looking forward to this month is making it as magical as I can for the kids & so far so good starting yesterday with putting up the tree (earliest we EVER put it up)Today after school baking on deck.

  113. Karen says

    Thanks for the chance !! I am most looking forward to my college freshman coming back home for break so I can spend time with all three of my kiddos and my husband, together!

  121. Denise says

    I’ve been following you forever and am still living in the dark ages of no Photoshop. This could really amp up my style. I’m imagining all the different scenarios that I could photoshop myself into. Lunch with JT, a stroll with Prince William, the beach with Hugh Jackman. Yes, please!!!

  122. Karen U. says

    Looking forward to seeing my family – it’s been 6 months since we don’t live close to each other!

  123. Yvonne says

    I am looking forward to taking our daughter to my parents to celebrate Christmas with them. It is difficult for them to travel in the winter months so we always go to them to celebrate- this is my Mom’s favorite holiday.

  124. Nancy says

    I’m looking forward to Christmas break so I can spend time with my kids. I have 2 teenagers with very busy lives. I live for these moments we can just be a family.

  125. Debbi G. says

    I look forward to spending time with my husband and kids. ONe is a freshman in college, so he’ll be home. My Mom has alzheimers and my Dad was recently diagnosed with stage 3 cancer…so much of my time is with them. I’d like to spend some good moments at home 🙂

  130. BSE says

    Am looking forward to a few days off at the end of the month to spend with family and friends and, hopefully, get prepped and inspired for 2014.

  131. Rosie says

    Hi Cathy- I am looking forward to starting Project Life! I eagerly await your insights into your 2014 album, hope they come sooner than later.

  135. Peggy M says

    I’m looking forward to getting our hole dug this month for our new house – my husband & I decided that we aren’t exchanging gifts this year because we’re building a house. That’s one big gift together instead.

  145. Holly Connors says

    And I am looking forward to my daughter turning 1 tomorrow. This year has flown by but I am sure the tutu party I have planned for her will be a blast this coming weekend 🙂

  147. Debbie B. says

    I love everything about the holiday season, even when its crazy busy! Most looking forward to the holiday break when we get to sleep in and spend all day in pajamas

  149. Wendy says

    I’m looking forward to having my daughter home for Christmas! She’s a college senior, and it has been a long four years with her away from home. We had a wonderful visit at. Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait to see her again in a few weeks. I love that kid.

  152. Juli says

    I’m looking forward to putting up the tree, listening to Christmas music and watching old Christmas movies, watching my son’s excitement each morning as he finds the elf and getting caught up on some scrapbooking!

  157. Kathleen D says

    I am looking forward to the end of my chemo. Dec 27th is my last day and that will be a wonderful Christmas present.

  161. Lynette says

    Looking forward to some time off from work. I scheduled 3 weeks off to prepare for the holidays.

  162. Linda says

    I am looking forward to the entire month of December. So thankful my 96 year old mother is still with us and able to enjoy the holidays. So looking forward to some cold weather….I know that sounds kind of corny, but it has been so mild here in the midwest, it hasn’t really seemed like winter…….yet! Probably have a giant snowfall tomorrow and will have to “eat those words”! All my children are going skiing this year and Christmas will just be me and my hubby. I spend lots of time at home and PSE12 would be a lovely addition to my computer since I am planning on starting Project Life 2014…..never got around to 2013 🙁 Happy Holidays, Cathy!!

  164. Kym says

    Most looking forward to that moment when the gifts are wrapped, the halls are decked, the feast is prepped and I can sit down, breathe out, and just delight in that razor’s edge moment of *anticipation* in all its glowy goodness before it turns into a wrap tornado of chaos and fun.

  166. Kelley Sweitzer says

    I’m most looking forward to Christmas Day…not for the presents, although I love to watch my family’s faces opening their gifts, but for the chance to have a quiet and relaxing day together with nowhere to go, nothing we have to do except enjoy being with each other.

    And as for following you on Facebook and Twitter, “Um, Hello? Been doing that for, like, ever!”. And Instagram too!!

  167. Wendy says

    Have been a Cathy fan for years! Receive your newsletter and follow you on Twitter. I remember several years ago, I was visiting the Twin Cities and was sure I’d see you running! Merry Christmas, Cathy! Would love to win as I have a new computer, but no photo elements.

  168. Nikki Schmith says

    Looking forward this month to reflecting on 2013 and setting our family up for a great start to 2014. We’ve learned a lot this year, and I hope it helps us have a better 2014!

  169. Wendy says

    Looking forward to spending time with our son, a college freshman, at Christmas break. Cathy, having your child go to college is way harder than dropping off for kindergarten, but you’ll get through it.

  170. Mary Lamb says

    I’m looking forward to a less-stressful holiday. Cathy, your blog makes me happy, and I’m not even much of a digi-girl.

  171. Victoria says

    I’m looking forward to time with the extended family even if they don’t want to pose for a family photo, as I’ve just been told!

  173. Marilyn T says

    I’m looking forward to having my daughter home from college and a caroling party we are hosting.

  175. Marilyn T says

    BTW: I’ve followed you forever on FB (since I’ve HAD FB) but I don’t do twitter…can I have half of a chance to win?

  176. Tracy says

    I think this is a wonderful new tradition! 🙂 I am most looking forward to a few days off at Christmas – will just be the two of us this year, so a few days to relax!! 🙂

  179. Del Morgan says

    Everything. I love all the giving we organize at school, with food drives and toy drives for the less fortunate. I love making cookies with my girls. I love pulling out the box of Christmas books on December first and snuggling down with the girls to read them. And I love seeing all the friends and family at Christmas. One relative always keeps us in stitches with stories from her past few months (makes us appreciate ours even more).

  180. Beth says

    I am really looking forward to the two weeks that I get off with my kids. I am lucky that I work at a College and I get the same winter break as my children. It makes for some great bonding time as well as drive mom crazy time!

  181. Beth says

    I forgot to mention I have been following you on Facebook and on Twitter for live ever because you are so amazingly awesome!

  184. Itwinicals.mommy@gmail.com says

    Oh, CathyZ, you are awesome! I’d rather have Photoshop than a new car anyway. I’m most looking forward to seeing the looks on my kids’ faces on Christmas morning. My twins are 3, and this is the first Christmas that they really GET IT. I can’t wait to see that Christmas magic sparkling in their eyes. (Or I could always add some sparkles later in photoshop.) 😉

  187. Patti says

    Already like you on Facebook and love your blog! I am looking forward to some down time with my family and getting going on the annual baking! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
    Patti 🙂

  188. Rebecca J. says

    After finally graduating from college in April, I look forward to my first December when I’m not thinking about finals all month long. My kids have been surprised/shocked about the list of things I have that I want to do with them since I have no schoolwork to worry about! 😀

  190. Therese says

    I love December and everything that goes along with it. Especially the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of it all.

  192. Vivian says

    I’m looking forward to the Christmas parades this year more than others because my grandson is a senior this year and he won’t be marching with the high school band any more.

    I liked you on Facebook way long time ago. Thank you for the chance to win…and for not giving away an orange t-shirt.

  193. Leslee Cotterell-Barrow says

    So many things I am looking forward to!!!I think that I am looking forward to my baby coming home from Seattle for the holidays. Thanks so much for such a wonderful giveaway!!!!! Following you on FB.

  194. Donna says

    Having both of my college students home at the same time is what I am looking forward to this month.

  200. dawny dee says

    looking forward to all the creative inspiration i always get from design blogs like yours. makes everyday a little treat for sure.

  201. Jane says

    Christmas is coming so fast this year so I am trying to slow myself down so I can enjoy the time with my husband. I wanted to do a party but time and money got in the way. So I am going to try and be quiet and enjoy.
    I even decided not to do a December Daily this year! OH THE HORROR! But I had to do it. There is always next year.

    I like Kay’s idea of Christmas Eve Champagne!

  202. Katie B says

    I’m looking forward to reading my little boys Winter, Christmas, & other December holiday stories every night by (electric 🙂 candle and mini lights. Thanks for the chance to fill our own stockings :)!

  203. Dawn Gross says

    I’m looking forward to time off from work at the end of the month! Thanks for the chance to win.

  204. Donna says

    Facebook…now there I have been following you forever…and Instagram and the blog…and the newsletter…

  207. Lauren Hershey says

    Most of all I am counting down the days to winter break. As a teacher, it is a welcome respite from a sometimes emotionally zapping job. Plus, gonna have all four of my adult children together. That makes for one happy mama.

  213. Sara B. says

    Love you Cathy! I am really looking forward to photographing some special moments, this month! My Grandmother turns 100, Christmas is coming, there is a new baby in our family and I have 3 year old twins and a 6 year old! So many wonderful things happen everyday!

  214. Sheryl B. says

    I’m looking forward to finishing up my shopping so I can relax with the twinkling lights on my tree!

  217. Jeannie L says

    I’m looking forward to Christmas festivities… It’s also the last Christmas we will be celebrating at my parent’s house since they have sold it off and will be moving in with my brother.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  219. Cindy says

    I can’t tell you how awesome this One Day of Giveaways is Cathy! I have so wanted to try to crossover to digital scrapbooking and don’t have any digital photo program at all. Your blog has been my foray into that pursuit. Thanks for making it so doable!! You rock! I am looking forward to decorating, documenting, and going to church Christmas Eve and enjoying the singing of Silent Night by candlelight …it’s the one thing that makes my Christmas complete!

  221. CandaceW says

    I am a bit of a scrooge when it comes to Christmas. Don’t know why. This year I want to make some handcrafted ornaments to try to bolster my spirit. But the big Christmas wish I have is that my son gets a job.

  222. Tara says

    I’m looking forward to a few days alone with my husband while our son is visiting my parents. We miss him when he’s gone, but alone time is awesome too. I’m also looking forward to spending a bit of time in NYC when we go to pick our son up.

  223. Cari says

    I’m looking forward to making cookies. The tree is up and shopping has started but the time crunch is already being felt! Baking cookies forces me to take the time to just be with my kids! Thanks for the chance to win!

  224. Daniele from Montreal says

    Looking forward to family time and twinkle lights. Also excited to capture it all in photos (trying out my photography lessons).

  226. Kirsten says

    Looking forward to Christmas morning at my in-laws. It’s always festive and relaxed and so enjoyable.

  227. Mendy says

    Hi Cathy! Love this giveaway!!
    What am I looking forward to? Mandatory vacation days!! Our agency closes down the week of Christmas up to Jan 2nd, and what days we don’t have as holidays are mandatory vacation days! Can’t wait to just be at home for a while, spending time with my family, taking it easy and soaking in the holiday spirit.
    Mendy

    P.S. Already a facebook follower!!

  228. Samamtha says

    I’m looking forward to going to the last Holidazzle parade! My husband proposed to me there 7 years ago, and we have gone every year since. It became our tradition, but this is the last year they will be having the parade!

  232. MonicaS says

    I’m looking forward to quiet family time and waiting for the arrival of my first ever MacBook Pro! Photoshop Elements 12 is going to be the first thing I install.

  233. Cindy says

    Um, but I do follow your blog everyday and subscribe to your newletter. Thanks for all your tutorials and think your digitals are awesome.

  235. Katie says

    I am looking forward to baking cookies with my friend of Saturday – it is a tradition we do every year 🙂

  238. Genivieve says

    I’m looking forward to enjoying my last Christmas with a kid in high school. School plays, FFA tree sales, scholarship fundraiser dessert auction, and do on. Next year with no kids in high school just won’t be the same.

  239. mary says

    I am looking forward to celebrating my daughters birthday, and to getting my house all decorated for Christmas.

  240. Karen says

    I’m looking forward to the festive light shows! I love driving around town and checking out the decorations and the brightly lit homes! LOL, am I weird or what!

  241. Phyllis says

    I’m hoping to complete a December daily this year and the bigger goal is to take it slow and enjoy my family this year.

  244. Sarah says

    I am looking forward to creating “Holiday Magic” for my middle son – 8 years old.
    He LOVES Christmas and well, I don’t. I love celebrating Jesus’ birthday, don’t get me wrong, but I’m a humbug when it comes to all the over-the-top holiday stuff we now call Christmas.
    With that said, I have made the conscience decision to say “yes” more to Christmasy things, keep it simple, and encourage my boy to LOVE Christmas even more and maybe I’ll love it along with him.

  246. Tracy says

    I LOVE December! All the excitement, lights, gifts, CRAFTING, and spending time with the family. Loving your blog and crafting ideas. Just when you think your head is full of new ideas… I jam one more in. Thank you — look forward to your new and fun 2014 blog ideas.

  249. Tracy says

    I am looking forward to five whole days in row off from work – so I can just relax and enjoy time with my two kids.

  250. Tracy says

    I also follow you on fb – since FOREVER. I’m pretty sure I follow you on twitter too, but I rarely log in.

  252. Judy Webb says

    PSE is becoming an extension of me!! Yesterday, I edited 200 photos, preparing an album for our sons. Yes, I want 12. Thanks

  253. Michelle A says

    I’m looking forward to time off and to enjoying what the true meaning of Christmas is about. I!ve also LIKED you now on Facebook. Definitely should have done it sooner methinks.

  255. Sherry Eckblad says

    I am a follower on both Facebook and Instagram, I don’t tweet.

    What I am looking forward to this month is just being with family and celebrating and also drinking a few extra glasses/bottles of wine.

  256. Dionne says

    I love Christmas and look forward to everything that goes along with it. I just wish the month didn’t go by so fast. Thanks for the chance to win.

  258. Colleen says

    I follow you on Twitter already, but I’ll play along. 🙂

    I am looking forward to end of the horrible nausea I am experiencing as a result of our first (successful) pregnancy – with twins no less. Week 12 cannot come soon enough!

    Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance!

  266. Stephanie says

    What I’m most looking forward to this month is having my whole family together! I’ve been an empty neater since March and I’m not too fond of it to be honest.

Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of PSE 12. Happy Holidays!!!

  298. Laura L says

  301. Briel says

    Hello Cathy,

    Thanks for fun, honesty and many good laughs. Love your blog! This month I am looking forward to being present and enjoying each and every moment (made that my JYC manifesto).

  309. Debbie W. says

    I am looking forward to the arrival of two things. First my first grandson (due the 26th) and the second thing is the arrival of my Cameo. Can’t wait to make fun titles, etc and scrap him!!

  313. Amanda Villagómez says

    What a fun giveaway! I think I still have PSE 10, so now I am a couple of versions old. I would be even more excited about the digital supplies though!

  314. Dawn says

    Believe it or not… looking forward to having all the kids away this year. Will be setting up my scrapbooking table(s) in the living room and keeping them out for 2 weeks! My tiny Christmas tree will share the space, so not completely humbug.

    Looking forward to a wedding in 2 weeks (son of good friends). Also looking forward to “family fun” during the holidays. And looking forward to Santa bringing a new flat screen TV … we are the only people left in America with a big square box, the broadcasts no longer fit the format of our TV.

    I love December because I have to excuse to craft all month (for gifts) and not feel guilty about dishes in the sink and piles of laundry; I’ve been a FB follower since I took your Design Your Life class at BPS; Love you, but not enough to start a Twitter account. Happy holidays and a Crap-less 2014!!

  356. Diane says

    Hi Cathy!
    Only one entry from me because I’m not on facebook or twitter, but one entry is better than none, right?

    Thanks for the chance to win!
    ~Diane

  357. Blythe says

    So looking forward to watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Muppet Christmas Carol.” Don’t know why but it’s not quite Christmas until we’ve watched those. And I’m looking forward to the Christmas decor being up–not putting it up. No, not quite the heavenly pastime pictured in scrapbooks, just having it up and being able to sit back and enjoy it.

  358. Nancy B says

    I am looking forward to my brother and his wife visiting from Maryland at Christmas. We are going to spend the week at our cabin on Bay Lake in MN. All the family will be there and anxious to spend time with everyone and there will be lots of games played.

    I’m not on Facebook or Twitter but enjoy following your blog.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  359. shelley cga says

  364. Samantha says

    I can’t wait to spend a few weeks at home this month! I can’t wait to spend the last week of the month getting my 2014 Project Life plan figured out. I’m thinking of going all digital – can’t wait to see what you have in store for page templates.

  366. Nancy says

    I’d totally go for the orange sweatshirt but would accept elements. My son is 18 months and I can’t wait to see what he thinks of Christmas this year!

  367. Brenda says

    There’s no way to pick just one thing I’m most looking forward to this month. I’m looking forward to spending time with family and friends I don’t get to see nearly often enough, and I’m looking forward to eating too much delicious food, which I don’t allow myself to do very often anymore. I’m also looking forward to giving my family some great gifts that I think they’ll really enjoy.

  368. Amy says

    Have been following you on Facebook for awhile =) Thanks for the chance at this amazing giveaway!

  369. Amy says

  371. Jacqueline R says

    I am looking forward to so much this month….the holidays are my favorite time of year! However, to narrow it down to one thing, I can’t wait for our trip to Disney/Universal this weekend. There is no place that captures the magic of the holidays quite like Disney!

  374. Laura says

    I am looking forward to the whole month! I already follow you on facebook and I don’t tweet! Happy Thanksgiving!

  375. Jen Sunder says

    This year I am looking forward to celebrating those holiday traditions that bring me joy. If it feels stressful or forced, I will not partake. Only JOY I tell ya!

  382. Stacy S. says

    Most looking forward to? The day after Christmas when it’s just the hubby, me and our two boys (ages 12 & 8) home with nothing to do but hang out, play card games, watch movies, play with our new stuff and eat leftovers.

  385. Joan says

    Looking forward to consciously slowing down to appreciate my time with my boys, my friends, the lights, the joy. And, seriously Cathy, “Um, Hello? Been doing that for, like, ever!”

  386. Kim says

    I am looking forward to having a meal with my daughter and son, together…just the three of us. And maybe we can play a board game like we used to do when they were little…and then, maybe a Christmas movie…does that count as three things or can I combine them into one? 😉 Either or, it’s going to be my favorite Christmas present:) Just being together.

  387. KarenP says

    I’m looking forward to enjoying the month, noticing and enjoying little moments and taking lots of pictures !

  390. JenRay says

    We have dinner by candelelight every night in December. I can’t really explain why, but I really look forward to that. Somehow it makes our little family dinners that much more cozy.

  391. Sarae Martin says

    Been there done that on all…I am most looking forward to the sights, sounds, smells, and traditions of Christmas!

  392. Ann Meyer says

  426. jett says

    Hi Cathy,

    This will probably seem like a downer post, but what I’m looking forward the most is to start a new year. 2013 has been the hardest year for me with many losses, tough decisions and heart break. It was not all bad, as I have grown stronger, wiser and older (turned 50 EEK!). But the sadness and heartache have made the holidays very difficult, so I’m ready to move past them and begin a new year.

  427. Chris says

    Um, Hello, I’ve been following you on Facebook forever. I don’t tweet. I leave that to the birds. Everything I have learned about Photoshop Elements I learned from you and I would love to have the latest version. Mine is several generations ago. Thanks for the chance to win.

  429. Karen says

    I’m looking forward to time with my mostly grown children! A senior in HS (like you!), a sophomore at the local college, and my 23 year old in Seattle. School time is so busy and my big girl’s job keeps her running so the few days before and after Christmas is time to just be together and reconnect. We do puzzles, cook and eat, watch movies, maybe even scrapbook a bit! Let’s skip the rest and get right to that! 🙂

  431. AnnieM says

    Hi Cathy!
    I already follow you on FB and Twitter, and I’ve been reading your blog for ages (when there was a lot more “crap” in scrapbooking!)so I’ve got three steps covered, right?
    I love your writing, and at about midnight last night I signed up for your Move More class! I even ordered a BH Mini Album in green just like yours..lol..gosh, I kind of sound stalkerish…but I’m not, I promise 🙂
    I am most looking forward to having ALL of my family home for a few days. One daughter very busy with work, one son on the West Coast (I live on the East Coast), and one daughter frantically trying to get through her last week of classes and finals in her senior year in college. Having all of us home together always makes my heart full. We play fun games, make homemade pizza together (hubby and I tried the potato feta one, btw) and just generally enjoy each other’s company.
    Happy December!

  433. Karen says

    Um, Hello? Been doing that for, like, ever! I took your first class at BPC, the 5 things one and have been a fan ever since!

  437. Steph says

    I’m looking forward to spending Christmas with no snow! We’re traveling to Texas from Canada to be with my husband’s family.

    I “liked” you on FB awhile ago, but I don’t tweet…

    Steph

  441. Joyce L. says

  442. Laurel says

    I’m looking forward the the excitement of a 4 year old! Christmas through the eyes of a child is the best!

  444. Vickie says

    I’m looking forward to an evening of wrapping presents and watching holiday movies on Hallmark. And by the way – PSE 12 is on my wish list so Santa would be thrilled if I won!

  445. rclancy2@earthlink.net says

    Hi Cathy
    As my husband passed in January, I think I am most looking for peace this holiday season. And looking to see if I have the strength to get my three daughters and I through it.
    thanks for your continued inspiration

    Janet

  446. Pattie says

    Christine

  457. Bridget Cheetham says

    Just spending time with my family! My oldest daughter goes to University in another city and my husband works in another state. Both of them will be home for 2 weeks during the holiday season. It will be nice for the five of us to be together and enjoy each other.

  459. Kimberly James says

    I love this time of year as I go in to overdrive on gift making. Finishing up some crochet projects and Christmas cards. Then it’s cookie making time. I look forward to making things for my friends and family through out the year but there is a different, enjoyable feeling this time of year.

  462. Julie S. says

    My house was decorated by Dec. 1…earliest ever! Now I am most looking forward to taking some time to enjoy the festive season…not much shopping to do, kids are too big…they’d rather have CA$H! So, I’m gonna crank up the Christmas tunes, sew some gifts for friends, bake some goodies and make my cards … lookin’ forward to it.
    Would love to win PSE 12 … I’m still using PSE 9!

  463. Tami says

  468. Kirsten J says

    Ha! I love the visual of you – “and you get a sweatshirt and YOU get a sweatshirt!”
    And duh….I already follow you on twitter. But I don’t do Facebook anymore. Long story there…..

  469. Kirsten J says

    Right now the thing I’m most looking forward to is what I told Stacy Julian about (and she shared it….) – driving around looking at lights. Makes me giddy just thinking about it.

  470. myde@comcast.net says

    Most looking forward to setting up my brand spankin’ new 27″ iMac and saying farewell and good riddance to my old, slow, drive-me-crazy PC.

  471. myde@comcast.net says

  486. Melissa K says

    I am looking forward to almost a week of no commitments for our family, no work, no school, it will be amazing. My DH works shift work so it isn’t even guaranteed that he will be home for Christmas. All the stars aligned this year and we will be all home!

    I have followed you for quite a while on FB and Twitter and your blog. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  509. Jodee says

    Oops! Forgot to include what I am looking forward to! I would say it is just Christmas in general. I always make gifts for family and I love the reactions I get and I love shopping for my little sister! And, I am always excited to see what fun present my hubby comes up with for me! LOL!

  511. janis says

    Hi Cathy!

    thanks for the one day of giveaways! you are so sweet!

    🙂 Janis

  513. Sarah M. says

    I’m looking forward to my kids being out of school for Christmas vacation. Having them at home drives me crazy at times, but a nice break from school is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it’s just nice to sleep in and not have anything scheduled!

  515. Roberta says

    Cathy, as with any gift, it is the thought (not the size) that counts…. although a new car w
    ould be …. anyway… 🙂 Thanks for thinking of us! I am looking forward to the combination of grandkids, hot cocoa and Christmas carols!
    Roberta

  517. Mary Kate says

    Already like you on FB, now following you on Twitter. This month I’m looking forward to completing my 2013 Project Life album…just have to catch up on the last 6 months. It’s so easy to stay on top of it – but apparently just as easy to fall behind! Also looking forward to lots of hot cocoa and Christmas music this month.

  518. Roberta says

    I’ve followed your blog and Facebook page forEVER … i like to think we’re kindred spirits, other wise it seems to much like stalking 😉

  520. Carla Hundley says

    Um, Hello. I’ve been doing that (following your blog by checking it at least once every day) for-ever. And I’m not talking the “forever” my seven-year-old references (translated = longer than he wants to wait or focus on it). I’m talking the forever as in YEARS. Yep, I’m in it for the long haul. I’m loyal that way.

  526. Alison L says

  530. Amanda S. says

    Awesome giveaway! Looking forward to family time and our neighborhood dinner party (it’s a first and we are super excited to host)!

  532. Wendy says

    I’m not on twitter or FB, call me old fashion but I sure love reading your blog! What a wonderful gift you are giving out.

  536. Yulia W says

    Every Christmas the thing I most look forward to is having all four of my boys home from college, feeding them and playing games, then all of us go to Christmas Eve services together. this year my middle son, having graduated from college in the Spring, won’t be coming home as he is living and teaching in Spain. Thank God for Skype and Facetime!!

    I’ve been following your Facebook page since the beginning of time! (or, you know, whenever it started)

  622. Lori Hudson says

    Great giveaway, CZ! I am looking forward to our “date” next weekend with our grown kids, to go out to dinner and a show and just enjoy the heck out of spending time together.

  633. Kristen says

    I’m most looking forward to enjoying the utterly-jazzed-about-everything-Christmas attitude of my 10yo son [as opposed to my 15yo daughter’s faux-jaded, suck-the-joy-out-of-every-experience attitude … i know, i know, it’s a stage. *sigh.*]!! ;D

  635. Kristen says

    already been lovin’ you for over a decade any way i can! [remember publications with actual, turnable pages? no school like the old school!] 🙂

  651. Mary Satterfield says

    We look forward to traveling North to Montreal to watch our son perform in Les GrandsBallets performance of Casse Noisette. After the last performance of the day before Christmas Eve he gets 2 days off and comes home with us. The reason it is my favorite is because he always suprises us with his parts in the show. Also because we drive home after and get home very late but we play Christmas music all thr way, stop for coffee and he is home with us. His life as a dancer is very demanding and rewarding in so many ways but we don’t get to see him as often as I would like.

  652. Pam says

    I’m looking forward to finally making a December Daily album. I’m excited to follow along and see your version as it progresses too!

I also plan to re-kick start Move More Eat Well here in December and probably re-kick start it again in January with the help of your new 2014 version of the class. I have done a pretty sorry job of it this year 🙁

  657. dianne d. says

    I’m looking forward to seeing my family. My father and stepmother, sisters and brothers, sons and wives, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews will all be getting together after Christmas. Including spouses there will be 48 of us, from ages 1 to 96, gathering from 5 states and Germany!

  658. Kary in Colorado says

    I’m most looking forward to my kids coming home for Christmas–and having my newly-widowed Mom here with us too. A happy/sad time, but much happier if we are all together!

  693. Daniella Pascarelli says

    I am most looking forward to my new grandchild who is due on December 25. My son and beloved Daughter in law are outstanding parents to their first child and that makes me eager to see #2. Joyful am I, wether I get the Elements or not.

    Cathy, you inspire me. I love your simple, elegant style for both layouts and writing.

  727. Laraine England says

    Looking forward to spending time with my kids and admiring their beautifully decorated trees. For the first time EVER mine won’t be going up as we have a nine month golden retriever who would most probably eat all the decorations and have the tree for dessert LOL. Better to be safe than a trip to the vet on Christmas Day. Many blessings

  729. Joy says

  740. Mallory says

    I’m looking forward to spending Christmas with my husband for the first time in two years. He just returned from his second tour in Afghanistan and is already off at more training in another state, so he missed Thanksgiving and my birthday. Plus, my family, who are scattered all over the world, are all finally able to come to stay for the first time, so we’ll all actually be together at Christmas–and I couldn’t be more excited. Planning to fill up quite a few memory cards!

    (Also, I follow you on twitter @emjayecks)

  746. Kylie says

    I’m looking forward to my boys coming home, and then when it gets too noisy, escaping to catch up on all the Big Picture Classes that I bought but haven’t done!

  773. Krissy R says

    I’m looking forward to finally being able to fly home, and hold my new 6 week old nephew for the first time! That, and all the yummy foods I grew up with that I can’t get here in Texas. 🙂

  775. Billie says

    Can I say that I just love EVERYTHING about the holiday season! I have been listening to Christmas music since October. Yes, I am one of those freaks! For me, it is all about family, love, peace and joy.

  777. Billie says

  779. Cheryl :) says

    I’m looking forward to just spending some time @ home! Thanks for your awesome designs Cathy. Just made my first 12 x 12 layouts using your Life Basics templates and they look GREAT! It was almost too easy. Now I’m kinda torn between hybrid or digi for my 2014 PL too.

  803. Leslie Kirby says

    This month I am most looking forward to … REST! I am a college professor and this has been a really long semester. I had to have surgery and trying to recuperate plus keep up with classes was really hard. Also, we are Jewish, so we had the infamous Thanksgivukkah this year, which meant I had to get all my shopping done way early, haha. (Speaking of Jewish, thanks for posting a Chanukah card along with your Christmas card in your freebie from your newsletter, that was really kind).

    Oh, and I already like/follow you on FB and Twitter!

  804. Mari says

    ……And lastly I’m going to finish a December daily this year. GOING TO – maybe – TOTALLY – might – DEFINITELY WILL – absolutely looking forward to it.

  813. Maggie says

    (Some of the “afternoon readers” are just Aussies who are waaay ahead of you time-wise and waiting for you to catch up! (picture fingers drumming, watching the clock)
    What I’m looking forward to? Having my 16 year old visit family in Perth so hubby and I can have a ‘grown-up’ Christmas kid-free! (Hey, we combined 10 kids together when we met, we deserve a break!)

  814. Betsy says

    I think I am looking forward to all the lights of the holidays. And the food. Not the working out, but I am doing it.

  841. Paige S. says

    I don’t look forward to one thing in particular. I love the whole season. Friendlier people (usually), smells of gingerbread in the house, shopping, seeing my eldest in a Christmas play, hearing and watching my son’s band play in front of a large crowd and having my heart drop while he crowd surfs, wrapping presents, drinking eggnog, the annual family Christmas party in which we eat Chinese food and armadillo eggs, singing along with all my holiday CDs, making and mailing cards, praying for snow, sitting in the dark living room gazing upon the lit up Christmas tree. And reading blogs. I like to read blogs. And Facebook. And Twitter. And Instagram. Merry Christmas, Cathy. And thank you for a One Days Giveaway.

  846. Bonnie says

We haven’t been all together since 2007 since some live in different states and all lead very busy lives. Excited doesn’t cover it. 😉

  852. nancy l says

Such a great day we had.

Win or not, I am glad to be typing these words, they give me HOPE, and I want to BELIEVE it will get better, and I want to BELIEVE that I CAN document and photograph and scrapbook again someday.

This year it’s all about the four of us here!

  1070. Deb says

    I’m looking forward to my kids’ Christmas break. Yes, it’s true. I’ve been doing some part time substitute work that will go on all the way until their break starts, so it will be a sort of break for me, too.

  1091. Marcie L says

    Most looking forward to my 50th birthday on the 28th! No, not really. Christmas joy with my fam is what I am most looking forward to. My husband changed careers this year and went from a self-employed contractor to a middle school woodshop teacher at an all boys school. I am looking forward to seeing him actually relax and take a break over the 2 week Christmas break from school. The end.

  1092. Kay says

    Oh my….December is a month of “looking forward to” things! Love this season! Putting up the tree & decorations, shopping (one for you & two for me), eating all those goodies, good reading, greetings, tinkling bells, joy on others’ faces….too, too much to pick just one thing. Except, you can pick ME for the PSE gift! Thanks, Cathy. And MERRY MERRY MERRY to you & your family.
    k
    p.s. Love that orange sweatshirt—I got a neat one from my son last year for Christmas. A U of ILL grad, I wore out my “Illini A-Go-Go-” shirt in the 60s/70s. So my son found a photo of me in it, took it to a custom shop, & had it recreated. FUN!

  1095. Jen Cox says

    Wow, what an awesome giveaway! I think this post has more comments than I’ve ever seen! In December, I’m looking forward to stress free giving, after having “given” in to one small special gift for immediate family only, and supplemented with gift cards to their fave places. Whew! No stress fir me, and none for them. Yay!

    I’m looking forward to bonus family time during the month of December. My son (a senior in high school) is actually talking about re-watching some of his favorite Christmas shows/movies with mom and dad (and the new girlfriend.) Whatever it takes to get us all together in the family room is fine with me!

  1147. Rachel Briggs says

    Great giveaway Kathy. I’m looking forward to what we call “family Christmas.” When all of my Aunts, Uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, from my mom’s side of the family get together and have a potluck meal, share presents, and play board games (the games are what I really look forward to). It’s usually either the weekend before, or after Christmas and the one time of year I get to see most of my extended family. Last year we missed it because we just discovered my daughter’s severe food allergies, so we are all really looking forward to it this year.

  1149. Barbara says
