An "I - <3 - U" Give Away!

Who hits the big 5-0 this month?? Me!! That's who!! Do I look excited??..... ha......No, that's my O-M-G, I'm going to be 50 years old! look :D It's the same as my look of horror, and sort of frozen on my face. I suspect it'll last about a year. Our wedding anniversary is this month,too, right before my birthday. So I say it's time for a Birthday " I - <3 - U"Give Away! That's I-Heart-You! I'll pack up a box of ingredients useful for some cute crafting,and send it before Valentine's Day. Some bits&pieces of sugary sweet goodness! And I'll have a random drawing on January 23rd, my 50th birthday, which is 10 days from now, so ya'll better sign up in this post! And if you have a blog, let me know all about it!

    Happy Birthday!!! And Happy Anniversary too! My birthday is on the 17th, tho I have not even hit 40 yet. I don't seem to mind the age thing. I thought for sure when I was in my 20s, I would just die when I got to be 40...LOL, but alas, it hasn't bothered me yet.

    I wish you many more wonderful birthdays and anniversaries.

    I just found your blog through Live, Love, and Be Free blog.

    Congratulations on your anniversary. Happy 50th birthday.

    I will be 60 in March, and that's a little hard to take, 50 wasn't bad. You definitely do NOT look 50.

    Enjoy your birthday and enjoy your anniversary.

    Sign me up also, please.

    Kudz, I never liked telling anyone my age, I just said I was close to 40 even when I was 48, now I have been close to 50 for nine years but I have been able to convince the grandbabies that I am still 39!! And they are so sweet they believe me. The good thing is you don't look 59, so have a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful Anniversary with your hubby.

    Yay!
    I'm so glad to see everyone signing up for my give away!
    And thanks for all the compliments on my crafting and my age :D I have to admit that photo is a few years old now, and I do look a lot older,haha! I'll replace it with a new photo as soon as I do hit the big five-oh(and color my gray roots*grin*)
    I stayed 27 for a loooong time, til my kids realized Mama must have been about 5 years old when she gave birth to them. Then I stayed 38 for another looong time! My grandkids are brutally honest,though, they say things like "that's because you're OLD, Meme"...LOLLLLL
    Oh,thanks for telling me,Judy, I was looking at the photo for the longest time! They're so pretty!

    Being 50 entitles you to even more attitude ... is that possible?!? LOL. I'm 57 now, and have enjoyed my 50's a lot. ShySue said it well, "be a young 50".

    Plus you don't even look your age, lucky you!

    Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to you and Hoss! Celebrate! ~tenderlee

    Hey Kudzu!! Happy 50th birthday, a little early, and sign me up for that giveaway!! 50's just another number,but I have to agree with the general consensus on these comments...you look mahvelous!! I don't fudge the truth about my age (turned...OMG...54!!) but I renew my driver's license on line...and they keep using the same picture from 1997!!! I can just see me when I'm 90...getting pulled over for speedin' down the road...and the sheriff who looks 14 will be writin' me up for drivin' on my granddaughter's license!! LOL! Have a great day Kween...oh & you can mention me any time!! :o} *elaine*
