***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
First off, thanks for all of the birthday wishes everyone. Second, random.org has selected our winner as… Lee (who just turned 31 and is so far happy with it). That’s good news for us too, since we’re both staring down at 31 now. Congrats Lee!
Guess what today is? Sherry’s 30th birthday! And to celebrate, Crate & Barrel is gonna give one of you a Benjamin to spend for every decade that Sherry’s been alive (that’s $300 in case your math skills are in a post-lunch slump). And that’s not the only thing Crate & Barrel is giving away these days. They’re also in the midst of their Pick Your Page sweepstakes where one winner will score all of the items featured in any spread from their new Spring catalog. That could earn you up to $15,000 worth of crate-y, barrel-y goodness! So feel free to pop over there to get in on that giveaway too.

AGE ME! I would choose to be 11 all over again…it was a time of change, puberty and growing up and I just remembered being too scared to participate in any fun activities. If I could do it all over, I would take the dance lessons that I was too embarrassed to take and do the swimming lessons with the tiny tots!
I would also love to relieve my 21st year…half of it spent in Paris, France on a study abroad trip and the other half celebrating my last semester in college. Good Times.

I would love to be 23 again so I can correct my mistakes.
Kate says
AGE ME! Hm, I think fast forwarding to 30 sounds great — home ownership, job stability, babies…
Adrienne B says
AGE ME! Oh jeez… I don’t think I could pick. Every year seemed to be full of awesome and ick- I think I’ll just stay in the here and now!
Caroline says
AGE ME…I like my mid-20s. Lots of fun life events!
Tiffany says
AGE ME!
I’d want to be 17 again. Spend all my free time I sorta wasted then getting fit so it wouldn’t be a habit I have to pick up again now at 24, haha!
Katie Vlietstra says
AGE ME
Given the chance I would want to be 20 years old again. I was starting my Junior year in college, I had spent the summer traveling the British Isles with my Dad (celebrating said 20th bday in Dublin, Ireland). It was the perfect year! (not to say that the rest of my life hasn’t been awesome…but 20 was good!)
Lisa J. says
AGE ME!
I actually wouldn’t mind going forward to retirement, at least for a couple of days. Life seems so hectic and busy (probably because my husband and I are both borderline workaholics) that I wouldn’t mind a few extra days to feel more carefree.
Elissa says
AGE ME!
I would love to be 21 and in college again. That year was a complete blur but so much fun! Either that or fast forward to the point where I am retired and can just hang out all day.
Kristen says
AGE ME- I would love to be 6 again and get to remember how a child sees the world!
Elaine says
Age Me!
Happy Birthday, Sherry!!! I can’t decide between going back to 20, when I was “studying” abroad in Hong Kong having the time of my life, or skipping ahead to whatever age at which I will be retired and traveling the world with my hubby.
~Michelle~ says
AGE ME! I think I’m actually pretty content to be 30… but wouldn’t mind my 21 year old body back!
Michelle says
Age me! I’m good with my current age.
Happy birthday, Sherry!

AGE ME!! I would love to be 21 again….oh…those were some fun times. Not a care in the world.
Jenn says
AGE ME! I would be happy to be 18 again. My first year of college was such a great year. Then again, I’d also like to fast forward 10 years to 42, just to see what the heck I’m up to.
Bonney says
AGE ME! I’d be 18 again.. truest sense of freedom in college… just far enough away from the parents but still have their financial backing hahahah
Carissa says
Age me and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sherry! Honestly, I’ve loved almost every age I’ve been, except maybe 13 (braces + glasses+ acne, awesome). I’m happy just where I am for now (29).

Emily W. says
AGE ME
I think I’d fast forward a few years to 28 … I’m looking forward to getting that down payment saved so we can have our own Young House.
Kristen says
AGE ME – I love my life right now and my family, but if could, I would go back and change careers paths if I had the chance.
Nick Wright says
AGE ME.
I’m happy with being 25.
Ashley says
AGE ME! Retirement, please :-)
Erin says
AGE ME! Hmmm – tough choice. I feel so much more comfortable with myself now, I can’t imagine going back to my younger years when I was so insecure. It would be fun to go back to the college years for a few weeks or months. I would love taking some fun classes and having so much time (it’s ridiculous how much time we really had!) for hanging out with friends and having random adventures (can anyone say “midnight Half Dome hikes”?)
Tabatha Schorr says
AGE ME!!
Never thought I would say this but I LOVE the age I am. 27, married, home owner and trying to start a family. This really is the best time of my life!!!!
Stephanie says
Age Me!
I guess 16 ish? Maybe 23. Tough call.
Paula Ogston says
AGE ME – – First, Happy Birthday Sherry! I turned 30 last april – and while it’s been pretty great so far, I would go back to the age of 24. Thanks!
Heather says
Age Me! I would only go back a few years to 25, I think. I was already married to my wonderful husband, working towards my dream job and we had just bought our house!

Jayne says
AGE ME! I would love to be 21 forever.
Ayelet says
AGE ME! I am delighted to be 40, though that could be because I do not FEEL 40 at all!
I absolutely hit my stride at age 34, in terms of personal, professional and creative accomplishments. And because I was so happy and fulfilled in my own life, that’s when love arrived! 34 was a glorious age for me!

Age me! As much as I’d love to redo college, I would totally love to be retired and traveling with my hubby. (-:

Age Me!
I like the age I am. While I’m certain there are things I’d like to do over, I don’t necessarily want to revisit that time period in my life, so I’ll stay where I am. :)
