***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 am loving this time in my early 20’s but I would love a glimpse into my future for a day to see how things are going to work out and how my life evolves!!
Kimmie says
AGE ME!
I’d love to be 26 forever. Young enough to get away with being stupid, and old enough to know better :)
Happy birthday Sherry!
Sarah says
AGE ME!!
22
Sydney says
AGE ME! Hmm.. I’d just be the age I am :) I’m pretty happy with where I am for 25 :)
Jenn M. says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You look great!! Age Me!!! I will take 29 again and hold it.
Betsy says
AGE ME
I really like where I’m at now (almost 32), so I think I’ll stay here.
ARON says
Age Me!
19… so much freedom… so much fun :)
Rachel H. says
AGE ME!
I’d like to be 16-18 again. I had the best of friends, my whole life was ahead of me, and I just loved being in high school in general (I know, I’m one of the few!).
kendra says
AGE ME!
I agree, 30 is pretty good. I’d also relive 7 and 17. Honestly, right now (41) is pretty great, too. It’s all in how you wear it. Enjoy your day!
Mandy says
Age Me!
If I could be any age I would pick… my current age: 29! I just got engaged, we just bought a house and my life is currently perfect!
Carrie Z. says
Age me!
I’d be 17 enjoying carefree summers with my friends dreaming of what it is like to be “old.” Which is NOT 30! :)
Richard says
AGE ME!!! I would love to be 19 again with my mind now, I had the most fun.
Tracie says
AGE ME :) I’m 27 and pretty happy at the age I am now… but I am definitely looking forward to 30ish when I’ll hopefully have a little one almost-as-cute-as yours!
Rachael K. says
AGE ME!
Happy 30th birthday Sherry!
I’m really enjoying life just the way it is now. Each year has its own ups and downs, but in general, every five years is an improvement on the previous five years.
Jamie Heard Smith says
AGE ME! I’d like to go back to 26, so that I can re-live this past year of my life! It’s been absolutely wonderful!
Kali says
AGE ME!
I turn 30 too, on Thursday, and even though it’s a little unsettling, I don’t think I’d ever like to go back in years so maybe I’ll say 40? Why not.
Dani says
AGE ME!! I honestly want to be the age I am- 24. Ask me in ten years and my answer may be different, but I love where I am at in life!
Nicole says
AGE ME!!
I think I’d be 17 again. Finishing high school and starting college. It was a fun time!
Sarah says
AGE ME!
Nine was the best; I was in third grade, which was old enough to be learning cool things and still young enough not to have large projects. After school and summers consisted of voraciously reading, riding bikes, playing basketball, and building forts in the fields behind my house. There was also plenty of lemonade and frank and weenies.
Man, those were the days!
PS – Happy Birthday! Hope you guys have a blast celebrating.
ARON says
Happy Happy Birthday! Congratulations on 30! <3
ani says
AGE ME!!
I would love to be 21 again and back in college! I loved my 4.5 years there and would live it all over again in a heartbeat!! :)
Linda says
AGE ME!! I would love to be 18 again and go through college again!
Kami Buchanan says
AGE ME! I would love to be late 20’s maybe 28! I would still love to be a Mom to my 4 year old but maybe in my 20’s instead of my 30’s. I think it would be a lot easier and less of a toll on the body (having kids in your 30s)
Nicole J says
AGE ME! I’d love to be 28 again! Although 30 is great too! Happy Birthday, Sherry!
Stewart Pillow says
Age Me $her-Dog!!!!
Jordan Faulkner says
Age Me! I am 24 right now, and love it!
Jennifer R. says
Age me.
I love my age and don’t want to wish my life away but the idea of retirement sounds wonderful.
Katie says
Age Me! I would have to say my late 20’s because I am currently only 22 and a senior in college who is currently single. Would be cool to see how my life pans out. :)
Katie Lewis says
AGE ME – 27
I’d like to stay this age forever. My husband and I have been married for almost 1 year, so things are pretty perfect. The only downside? I’d never be able to retire…
Jennifer says
AGE ME!
Happy Birthday Sherry! I turned 30 in January and so far I really like being 30 and wouldn’t want to be any other age. Now, I would LOVE to have my body from my early 20’s or even the one from before baby #1 (baby #2 arrives in May) but I guess that’s something I can work toward at 30! :-)
Sara says
AGE Me – I would be 22 again. Man I thought life was hard then. Little did I know the responsibilites that come with having a job, a mortgage and other bills to pay.
Megan says
AGE ME!
I’d love to go back to 18! High school was fun for me – and without responsibility!
Melissa Hansen says
AGE ME
I love the age I am now (24)! My husband and I have two kiddos and we just got our first house. We are looking forward to making it our home :)
Jess says
AGE ME!!!
I would stay right where I am for a while!
Michelle says
AGE ME! I’d go back to 21-22! Happy birthday Sherry!
Evan Thompson says
AGE ME!
I would love to relive 21, when college life was carefree and before any real world responsibilities came about :)
April says
AGE ME! I would love to be 18 again….but only for a day.
Cherie says
AGE ME
I would love a do over of my 30’s BUT only if I could know then what I know now!
Abbe says
AGE ME! i’d love to be 30 again… i really relished hitting that “i’m an adult now” milestone, and rocked the heck out of my 30th year! :)
Kristen says
AGE me!! Ohhh definitely 20… loved college life!
Happy Birthday Sherry!
Allison R says
AGE ME!!!
I think I’d like to relive my college years. Although I’m barely out, I stressed WAY too much and should have enjoyed myself a little more per this quote:
“You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don’t have. Drink ’til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does…” -Tom Petty
Becky says
AGE ME…I think I’d like to be in high school again. Not because it was particularly fun the first time around, but to take some chances. I was a good kid, not a risk-taker, always followed the rules. Now I regret a bit not shaking it up and doing some of that dumb stuff you’re supposed to do when you’re young! ;-)
Thanks for the contest, YHL & c&b.
Jacqueline says
Age me!
Megan says
Age Me!
I’d stay this age (30) forever…Sherry, welcome to the best year of your life (so far. I hope.) Thirty is WAY better than I expected/feared :)
Erica says
AGE ME…I’d like to re-live the college days. 21, worry free, bill free, minimal responsibilities, making first memories with the man who is now my husband :-)
Mark A. says
AGE ME!!!
I would love to be 55, retired and bouncing back-and-forth between NYC and Boca!
Kristina says
AGE ME!
I’d definitely love to be 18 again, just going off to college.
Cindy says
Age Me…I would love to be in my 7 again. I loved my childhood. I think all ages have their perks though!
Ginger says
Age me!
I would be 21 just one more time! Such a fun year- maybe too fun!
Marlo says
AGE ME! I also just turned 30 so have been thinking about age lately. I’m happy right now, but would love to go back to my late teenage years/early twenties. You don’t realize just how wonderful the college days were until they’re gone.
