For me, September 2 will be one of those birthdays that end in zero. I kind of hate to see this decade end. It has brought so many wonderful things into my life, including this gig at CraftGossip, which still rocks my face off. On the other hand, I know it is the beginning of an awesome new decade. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!
So I’m celebrating with lots of birthday presents…for you! Thanks to some epic sponsors, I’ll be having a giveaway nearly every day of the month running up to my birthday. Each giveaway will be open for a week. Winners will be announced each Sunday for the contests that ended that week, and the prizes also will be mailed weekly.
To enter, just comment on the giveaway post–one comment per post, please. (Duplicate entries will be deleted.) You can enter as many of the giveaways as you like, even if you’ve already won one. Each comment will be assigned a number, and the winner will be determined by the online random number generator. Be sure to include your email address in the proper field on the comment form. (If I have no way to get in touch with you, your entry will be disqualified.) When you win, I’ll send you an email with the subject line, “You won a CraftGossip giveaway.” (Watch for it.) You’ll have 48 hours to respond with your snail mail address. If I don’t hear from you before the deadline, I’ll pick another winner.
So there you have it: The rules for a glorious month full of books and needlework kits and perhaps an item or two created by yours truly. Happy birthday to all of us!
Edited to add: These giveaways are open to all CraftGossip readers, wherever in the world they may live.
Edited again to add: Precious friends, you cannot enter the giveaways through this post. This is just a list of the rules. You have to enter each giveaway separately by commenting on the giveaway post. Go to CraftGossip’s giveaway page to see all of them.

So here’s wishing a very Happy Birthday to US!
Happy Birthday! Mine was just this past weekend on the other side of the 5. I can still say I am in my mid-thirties right?
Happy Birthday!
I love this book. I saw it at the bookstore. Thank you so much for making this a giveaway.
Thanks a heap for the give away! Cant wait to look thru your book. Don’t let the zeros get you down!!
September 2nd is also my birthday! Do you celebrate the whole month? I do!
Happy Birthday and thanks for celebrating with us.
Your birthday ends in a zero this year? So, you’ll be, what? Thirty?
Happy Birthday! – yours is the same date as my better half’s. Thanks for a great giveaway
Happy Birthday! So what if it ends with a 0? Look back and know what we’ve grown wiser from the last time of any craft related “disaster” we had! LOL… I’ll be sort of celebrating my own birthday next week with some “quiet” time with my little boys (4 yrs & 1 yr old)!
Happy Birthday! And thank you so much. You do a fabulous job here. I have enjoyed so many projects.
Wish you a great Birthday. Thank you for the chance to win this giveaway

Happy birthday. I hope that more great stuff continues on this website.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I always love those “Zero” birthdays so many hate -
No longer a teenager – you are starting your life –
No longer a twenty-something – you might start to know what you are doing with your life, maybe
No longer a thirty-whatever – you now probably know what you are doing – kids, husband etc or career
No longer a forty something – you now really should know what you are doing – maybe
Now you are fifty something – I am a GRANDMA the Best ZERO of all!!!!!!!!!!
Have a Happy!!!
Happy birthday! Thank u
Happy Birthday and thanks for the giveaway!
Happy birthday and….hope I win it
Thank you!

My daughter, Adriana, would love this! She is 11 years old and has autism. She loves dolls and princesses…..because she is both a doll and my princess! Pick her!

Bella is so cute – as is my 3 year old granddaughter, Bella! This would be a great doll for her.
Youth is not a time of life,
It is a state of mind,
A product of imagination, a vigor of emotions
A predominance of courage over timidly…
An appetite for adventure!
Happy Birthday !! and many more happy creative years, thanks for the opportunity for a giveaway ..
