Birthday Giveaway!

Birthday Giveaway! 

Today is kinda a special day. 45 years ago I came screaming into the world and I haven’t stopped chatting since. At least that’s the story my mom tells.

I’m trying to reflect on these past 45 years and sadly they seem like a blur.  Not trying to get too sentimental but gosh, time is flying before my eyeballs.

Oh my GEEEEEE! I’m 45.

I’d like to think I’m getting wiser but I’m reminded daily that I must have fallen off the turnip truck, hit my head and it’s caused gross memory loss….at least that’s what my kids think.  They seem to be so much “wiser” than me in their teenage lives. <insert my rolling eyes here>

It’s possible my kids are the only reason I might have noticed I was a bit older today.  I swear 2 more gray hairs popped on my head.  The funny thing they don’t realize is they are keeping me YOUNG.  Oh yes indeed.

In fact I try to pull off my “mom coolness” on them as frequently as I can.  For instance talking to them in their crazy language or even better, singing at the top of my lungs to their hip jams.  While I get some pretty funny looks from my kids they end up giggling and then I giggle.  I’d like to think the giggling created my wrinkles on my forehead….

To be honest with you (you know I am), out of the 45 years I’ve been on this earth this past year has been one of the hardest.  Quite frankly it’s been T O U G H! Learning to accept change that I never expected and learning to move forward has been hard. Getting rid of the anger was an even bigger leap. I’ve probably learned more about myself than I ever wanted to know but I’m so glad I took the many extra steps this past summer to face the facts and press on.  Truthfully, something had to give because I couldn’t stand myself.  That’s BAD.

 

Today at the sweet age of 45 I’m in a good place. I’m thankful I took the necessary steps to get the help I needed and it’s helped me in ways I never would have expected.  I am also thankful for your encouragement along the way.  That has been a gift!  A true blessing. I am almost back to my crazy kimberly ways and that’s a FANTASTIC feeling.

Since it’s my day I thought I would do something fun and have a little giveaway.

Time for a Giveaway!

My birthday gift is giving back to you.  I wish I could give personally to each and everyone of you for all the encouragement over the last 3 years.  Seriously, between Iraq, a move and then Russ’ having a stroke…  You kept me upright.  YOU are a good reason I’m here today celebrating the big 45 and I love you.  You have endured  a lot of Kimberly babble.  <eek>

  1. I’m thankful I found stamping and your blog. Being a widow with all kids gone is very difficult sometimes. I do enjoy reading your blog..as I was in the Air Force as active duty, then worked for them as a civilian before retiring. So I was surrounded by military for many years. Congratulations on all your strides.

  2. FayLee (Brenda) Turner

    Grateful for my faith in God, family, my puppy, friends & eternal life. Grateful for hobbies, especially stamping, and the awesome friends I have met while stamping. YOU are such an inspiration to me – stamping & sharing your talent so generously, and for being “real” with us. Happy Birthday, Kim!

  3. I’m thankful my husband is still alive. He got sick on May 20th and we have only been home for 2 weeks. The rest of time has been in the hospital. We are hoping to be by thanksgiving. So I am so thankful. Life is so precious. Thank you for a chance to win…. Happy birthday

    I am thankful to work for a great company. I had to move back home to care for my father and my company let me work out of center verse one of our IT locations so I could be home. They have never let anyone in my role do this previously. So I am thankful to be home with my family and be able to continue working for a great company. I agree it has been a tough year. I will also admit your blog is one of the first things I read every morning. I missed you when you struggled for weeks and I am so happy you found help and are doing well.

  5. I am thankful for my beautiful family and friends. I have a grandson who I could not imagine loving anymore than I do. I also have good friends who I had to move away from for several years but was fortunate enough to come back and pick up like I was never gone. I am new to your blog but reading it each day makes me feel like I am normal and we all need each other to make it thru tough times.

  6. I am thankful for a husband and daughter who are very supportive and loving! Also grateful for my creative hobby that is my therapy and helps me thru hard times!

  80. I am thankful that I get to serve the Lord on a mission trip to Northern Ireland next week. you go to bless others but in return you get blessed too. Most of all, I am thankful that in our daughter stepping up to be a kidney donor, her life was saved. The doctors found cancer that would not have been found until to later to treat by the time symptoms would have appeared. Even though she has a difficult surgery and recovery ahead, she will now get to raise her 3 small children. I also am thankful to be able to create by making cards. Happy 45th Birthday!

  81. Hope your birthday is the best! I am greatful for how my life has changed for the better over the last few years . I have a wonderful family and in laws . I am not one to express or write well how I feel but love to show it with my stamping and crafts.

We’ve been through a lot of very difficult days…dark days… but we’ve faced them together and I know that as long as I have him (and the Lord) everything will always be okay. Thank you for your posts…I always look forward to them. 🙂

  85. I turned 45 this year as well. I found that number a little daunting, but now I own it. I earned every last bit of that number.

    So I am thankful for:
    The wrinkles around my eyes – they show I laugh a lot.
    The number on the scale – denotes many a dessert shared with friends.
    And so much more!

    Hope your birthday week is wonderful!

  86. Happy 45th birthday. I just turned 75 on saturday and am so grateful that I live in this wonderful country and am still able to make those lovely cards and for having wonderful friends to send them to. There are so many things to be grateful for it is hard to pick just one.

  87. I’m grateful for the experiences I have had that have shaped who I am. I am grateful for the people in my life. I am thankful for the experiences stampin up has given me and teaching me I am artistic. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

  88. I am grateful that my Mom is happy and be coming quite independent after the loss of my father just over a year ago. She is able to stay in her home and although she misses my dad she has able to manage her daily life very well. I am very proud of her.

  89. I’m grateful for a second chance, after having lost my first husband to cancer 32 years ago. I was only35 and we had two sons, ages 13 and 15. Raising teens is sometimes very difficult, but raising them alone is one of the most difficult challenges to date, especially with the 13 year old. He wasn’t ready to deal with losing his Daddy, and acted out in unimaginable ways; stealing, taking my car for rides while I slept, and running away from home twice just to mention a few. It has taken many, many years of therapy to bring me back to sanity. God is good.

  90. Happy Birthday! There are so many things to be grateful for. Jesus, my precious family, dear friendships, a roof over my head, food on the table, freedom, the list could go on. I am also thankful to have found card making and stamping, it has brought me great joy.

  91. Happy 45th Birthday to you! Today, I am grateful that we finished corn harvest last night because today it is blizzarding!

  92. I am so thankful for my wonderful family and the service of all who have and are serving to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. My Father served in the 13th Armored Division in France and Germany in WWII following D-Day.
    Happy birthday.

  93. I had a lung transplant Dec. 3, 2013. I’m grateful and say prayers for my donor and her family every day of my life. I only wish I could do more but I do try to pay it forward in small ways. Your blog is really nice.

  94. I am grateful for all of God’s blessings in my life but probably most of all is being able to be a stay at home Mom. I have been very fortunate for many years to be home so that when my boys or any of my family or friends need me, I am here. Happy Birthday Kimberly!

  95. Happy Birthday Kimberly!!!! The one big thing I am grateful for is Christ and his love for all of us! May God continue blessing you in AMAZING WAYS as He has for 45 years!

  96. I’m so very grateful for my two sisters. They are my best friends and supporters. i have been truly blessed to have them in my life. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

  97. I am grateful for every day that the Lord allows me to open my eyes, get up, go to work, come home and play with my grandchildren, chat with friends and family, and then retire to bed with my husband. I’m grateful to live in the US where we have freedoms that others do not have. I am grateful that my family is blessed to be able to work and earn a living to provide for their families, and for our health. I am grateful that I have met so many wonderful, loving, kind people through Stampin’ Up! and for the ability to be able to craft and create which I love to do. I’m grateful to have a church family too! I am grateful that I do not take advantage of all the love and wealth I have been blessed to receive – because in one blink of an eye, everything can change. Kim, you know that from personal experience. Living through your life with you has made me more aware of the blessings I have received. I am grateful for YOU! You have helped me grow in my walk with my God and in Jesus Christ. Thank you!

  98. Happy Wonderful, Fantastic, Amazing, blessed 45th birthday to you Kimberly! Do something fun just for you! Eat chocolate, dance, sing and celebrate the special lady that you are. I’m grateful for so many things…my family, home and our health! Lots of birthday hugs – Regina*

  111. Happy Birthday! I was sitting at the table next to yours yesterday, and the highlight of my day was you being named to the Artisan Team. You are so creative . . . you’ve had such a rough time . . . and you’ve never given up. Hope you enjoy(ed) the rest of your day in Tampa. (Tell Brandon, I live in Brandon — I’ll ry to find him a local postcard!)

  112. I truly have many things to be thankful for but right this very minute I am thankful for my husband! Yesterday was his birthday but months ago he told me to go ahead and book my trip to Dallas for OnStage! I had a blast with my SU friends, missed his birthday but I’ll think of something to make it up to him! Happy birthday, Kimberly!

  113. Happy Birthday! I am thankful for an amazing husband, two lovely daughters, and an adorable grandson! 🙂

  114. I am grateful for you! I am invested in your life and family, you are on my prayer list. I appreciate the inspiration, the honesty, and your ability to laugh at yourself in the midst of near tragedy and turmoil. Thanks so much for sharing!
