UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed as of Noon CST Central Time. I will be drawing winners and posting the winners by 4 p.m. CST. And comments left after Noon CST time will not be included in the giveaway.
Today is my 54th birthday and if you’ve followed me over these many years you know one of my most guiding life principle is:
When it is your birthday, tell EVERYONE you know!
MY BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY: Getting older is a good thing. And today, to celebrate the anniversary of my planetary arrival I’m going to give away four $25 gift certificates to the Simon Says Stamp store so you can treat yourself to a little something in honor of my birthday. Sound good?
I have a video and card project to share but I also thought this was fun…
When I turned 45, I took this photo:
And this one:
We were in the middle of remodeling our house. I was coming off my first year as an adult-onset runner. I was wearing new jeans and a new vest and was generally feeling great about how I was caring for myself.
Oh, and I was dyeing the SHIT out of my hair, just because I felt like it.
This was nine years ago and now, if you flip that number, you get where I am today: 54. And you know me and a comparison shot… I can’t resist.
Yes, I’m wearing the same clothes which means two things: 1) I have worked really hard to regain my health over the past year-and-a-half, and 2) I really don’t shop much, friends.
Also, that chair on our porch… good Lord! I think it has to go.
IT’S ALL GOOD!
First up, here’s a video wherein I may wax a bit philosophic about why you should celebrate your birthday out loud:
And now for the giveaway. There are only two rules:
- Leave a comment on this post and say whatever you like. Something like, “Hey, Cath… ” or “Happy Birthday, Dude” would be completely acceptable.
- If you are not already subscribed to my YouTube channel, please do so.
That’s it!
I will choose four random winners from comments left here on my blog (and who are always YouTube subscribers!) on Friday, March 13th at Noon Central Time.
Thank you for another year of supporting me and my small business. I am truly grateful for you!

Marie Z Johansen says
First, Happy, Happy YOU day! I think you look far more beautiful now, than at 45….the years have been good to you! 45-65 have been such good years for me..the best! I too began adult onset running at 41 and regularly did half marathons. It was the best time! Severe back issues have side lined me for now, but I play with paint and cards instead! I began following you because I so enjoy your esthetic!
My mom passed when she was 46. I promised myself then, all those years ago, that being “in joy” would be my goal. So far, so good!
Enjoy the moments…they all go by too fast….and fill this “new 365” with love, laughter, health and all of the things that bring you joy! Thanks too gor sharing ypur talent and for this opportunity to have more playnthings!

“You do you,” said my daughter the other day. My birthday gift to you is sharing this year’s mantra (which was the theme at this year’s Women’s History Month event at work last week.) You are fantastic at doing YOU. Here’s why: You grew out your hair and embraced the silvery stands that we all are facing in our 50’s, you take the time to paint your pretty nails, and at times you put your “guts on a platter” and express yourself when mean/unhappy people do silly things like thumbs down your work. You do you, Cathy! We, your devoted followers, appreciate your hard work and LUV your fantastic creativity. Have the happiest of birthdays! :: smooch! ::
ndsturg says
Happy birthday! You look marvelous and are such an inspiration!! Thank you for all the good stuff you share with us!

Happy birthday Cathy! That’s some awesome work on your health if you can still wear clothes that are nine years old. The best part of 50’s (hopefully)? Is knowing who you are and caring way less about what other people think about it.

Kimberly says
Happy birthday! In honor of your birthday, my journey to CZ..
1) Years ago I followed someone who scrapbooked and she posted a project of yours
2) I, despite my inherently unscrapbookable life, clicked through and saw the blog. I love blogs from women in my age group! I started reading the blog.
3) I followed you on Instagram and Youtube
4) Your videos became very soothing background videos for when I had to work on logic-heavy spreadsheets for work (left brain/right brain engagement?)
5) Your videos distracted me from doing work, because I was entertained by your talent and voiceovers and would rather watch than wrangle IF statements
6) I bought a few supplies and started making cards
7) I bought many more supplies.
Thank you for the joy you have brought to me and all of us, and I wish you many more years of happiness!
Lisa Simental says

Happy Birthday! You share a birthday with my husband. He is 52 today.
I don’t shop much either. Well for clothes, shoes, purses, watches, jewelry, none of that stuff. But crafting goodies I always have to buy the newest stuff. Even when traveling my misti bag filled with crafting supplies takes up more space in my bag than the clothes I bring.

Happy Birthday from one Pisces to another? You look darling. Congratulations on taking control of your health. I am turning 60 on Wednesday and I have never covered up my age. I look forward to each one and give thanks that I made it that far. I have two boys in college and look forward to celebrating with them and their girlfriends on Friday because they don’t have the same spring break, of course ?
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I love your creations and always look forward to what you create next.

Hi Cathy – I’m writing this in the evening, so I hope that you had a wonderful and special birthday. I liked the simplicity of this card and yet that it makes a very special statement.

Happy Birthday, Cathy! I’ve watched several of your videos and thoroughly enjoy them. It is actually the 9th because I don’t get on my computer until after midnight every night. It’s my quiet, alone time. You might be like me and just hate shopping for clothes! I’ve worn the same clothes for years. So to celebrate your birthday go out and buy a new outfit for next year’s birthday post! I belong to facebook so they remind me when it’s someone’s birthday. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us through the years. You are still young. Try being 67! Love, Kathy

Happy Birthday!!

ThatStephanie says
Hey, Sassy Lady! I’ve been…hmmm…”following” you (stalking is such a STRONG word) since way back in the 2-Peas/CK/SS days. Your clean style, quick wit and short hair always appealed to me. Despite caving on the pixie cut, I’m still here for it. However, should you start featuring paper dolls and/or The Dimple Street Gang, Imma haffa bounce.
Tiffany Halsell says
Love love this card because of the simplicity and RAINBOWS! I love your sass too! Thanks for sharing!
Carol Jones says
Hey Cath! Happy Birthday dudette! LOL! Always love your videos and I put them at the top of my playlist to watch first. I adore your gorgeous CAS cards, always so pretty and inspiring. But more than that I love your sense of humor and your fun spirit! I agree, we should always celebrate our birthdays because it means we made it another year. Plus our time here is limited and we never know if we might get hit by a bus. (lol) So I say, celebrate at least a week and when you reach retirement age (considered really old by some) you should celebrate for a month! So I hope you’re still celebrating for the rest of the week Cathy, you deserve it because you’re awesome!
Melissa says
Happy Birthday Cathy! May your 54th year on this “Third Rock from the Sun” be AWESOME!!!

Happy birthday, Cathy!! I’m not sure what I’m impressed by more…
* your eco friendly fashion sense (still looking great by the way)
* your dedication and commitment to your health and fitness (I recently lost 36 pounds in 7 months so I know what it takes)
* or the fact that you are thinking of others on your birthday!!!
Have an awesome day 🙂

You, my dear, are one of my favorite designers/makers and one of these days I will meet you. We are, as they say, of an age (I am older) and YAAASSSS!!!! CELEBRATE OUT LOUD!! Wear purple and red together that doesn’t go and run that stick along those fence posts!!! (Those are quotes from a poem called Warning by Judy. . .I don’t remember because we are of an age).
Never sweat the small stuff – it’s aaaaalll small stuff. Blessings on this next trip around the sun.
Peace, Cindyellen
