Hello, Friends! Today is a fun day at Kathy by Design because I have a little Merry Christmas Giveaway to share with you. 2019 has been a watershed year, and my heart is so full of joy and gratitude that I just had to spread the happy around! And who better to share it with than all of you: my faithful companions on this crazy-wonderful creative journey?
Merry Christmas Giveaway Video

From My Heart to Yours
When I started this blog in 2013, I had no idea the adventures that lay ahead. It kind of takes my breath away when I look back at how amazing it’s all been.
- Over 8,000 subscribers to my YouTube Channel
- More than 800 sales in my ETSY shop
- Over 2000 followers on my Kathy by Design Facebook Page
- Almost 1700 Instagram Followers
- Over 46,000 monthly viewers on my Pinterest Page
I’ve had the honor to design for some of the best companies in the business: Authentique Paper, Graphic 45, Heartfelt Creations, The Button Farm Club and Really Reasonable Ribbon, Little Birdie Crafts, Petaloo Flowers…just to mention a few. I am so grateful for the opportunities that have come my way…and all because I like to play with pretty paper!
Then, there’s each of you. Wow, my heart is just so full. I’ve had the chance to get to know many of you on a more personal level and some of you have become dear friends. All because of paper. It’s really amazing.
So, thank you. From the bottom of my heart for taking the journey with me, for encouraging me with your sweet comments, for your patronage in my Etsy shop, for all of it. My life is full to overflowing with joy and gratitude.
I wish each one of you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed and Happy New Year. May the joy of creativity be your portion, and may you always find the courage to follow your dreams. I’m so glad I did!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

my cancer keeps me from crafting the way I would like, but your posts inspire me as I lie in bed each day. I don’t often get to my computer to comment, so wanted to send holiday wishes while I could. 🙂
thank you for sharing your talent with all of us! 🙂 I do follow you here and on Pinterest.
jenscull…..I know exactly what you are going through…went through the same with cancer surgery 13 months ago. couldn’t do any crafting for months. The 2018 holidays came and went without my participation. this year, though a bit measured, I am so enjoying the holidays..but in a little different way. Apparently my “new normal” will be different than in the past. Would love to stay in touch with you: martie.rollin@gmail.com. We are still here! Life is different, but wonderful!
I sent a comment from my phone but don’t see it here, so Im sending it again. I am in awe of your talent! Thank you for all the inspiration. I follow your blog and on pinterest and would love to be able to buy everything from your Etsy store. Thanks

I’ve been enjoying your beautiful projects for years through your blog, and love all the helpful tips and hints that you give your followers. The vintage look of most of your designs are timeless and so appealing, and just draw me in. I received a floral bookmark from you some years ago and use it every night in my book as I read before bedtime. Even your studio tour has been bookmarked by me as it’s full of ways to save on storage and repurpose items for your storage needs. With almost all the craft magazines gone in the US, it’s bloggers like you who keep me motivated and inspired. Thank you Kathy for being a bright spot in blogland ! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Already following by email and on Youtube.

Wow, Kathy! You are already so generous to share your gorgeous work throughout the year, your tips, your knowledge and so much more! And now you have prepared this wonderful kit to make our own folio (for those of us who are construction challenged)! I am, as you say, gobsmacked! And overwhelmed! I literally had tears of joy for you after reading this post and hearing your voice on your video. You have so much JOY, and that is something I know God wants for each of us! This is your way of sharing that incredible gift, and if your bring that to one more person in the world, that is the greatest gift you can share! I’m sure you are touching many, many people in the world through your SM platforms. You already know I am a subscriber to your blog and You Tube…I think on FB, too, but I have no idea how these other things work. Bless you!

I have subscribed to your social media as I love your style and creativity. I have learned so much from you and appreciate your time in making all the videos. I love to copy your style – thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway!!
Hello Kathy,
I have subscribed to your blog and YouTube channel and I follow you on Facebook !
Thank you for the sweetness and the warmth in your work.
Thank you for all your inspiration. I am in awe of your talent! I follow your blog, Pinterest, and watch your videos. Would love to purchase everything from your Etsy shop! Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Holidays.
I love seeing your new projects every morning. You are always coming up with fresh new ideas. You’re very inspiring. I follow you on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube.
Wow, Kathy! How fantastic! I subscribe to your Youtube channel, Facebook, your blog, and Pinterest, Also my favorite seller on Etsy. Thank you for all of your beautiful projects throughout this year and for the opportunity to win such a wonderful giveaway. Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Hugs!
Thank YOU Kathy for your gift of inspiration and creativity. I am a subscriber on your YouTube channel as well as your blog. From there I have followed you through Graphic45, RRR, Funkie Junkie, and Button Farm. In fact, I recently received my Authentique calendar kit to begin a new year with your art enriching my home. Your gracious and welcoming style of teaching in your videos instills such confidence in my trying something new. Your recounting stories on your blog about your mother and growing up in VT are so vivid and lead me to search for inspiration through my life’s experiences. ( Most recently your describing the moon and sound of the snow under your feet as you walked up the hill to your childhood home was quite poetic!) Your humility in expressing your gratitude is perhaps your best lesson in how we all need to be aware of the wealth of blessings that surround us and from which we can draw strength and perserverence. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thank u so much for thinking of us, although you give me gifts throughout the year with your inspiration and amazing creations. I am so happy I found you and I hope you know how much i adore everything you share with us. God bless you and I wish you the merriest Christmas ever!
That is great you have such a good following. I can understand why. I love getting your post each day and love your style.
I subscribe to both and IG and everywhere I can see your projects!! Love your work!!
