Happy Birthday Glogirly (GASP!)


Hi everyone, Katie & Waffles here.

We are joining paws in solidarity on this momentous occasion. Ok, we're not literally holding hands or anything. Consider it more of a metaphor.

It's our girl's birthday today and we have SURPRISES!!! Ok, so they're not really surprises for her. But they're surprises for YOU and that's way more fun.  And there's loot involved!  That's right....we're having a birthday giveaway. Glogirly really didn't want to have this birthday so she asked if we could just give it away.  Well, we'd never be able to afford the shipping on ALL THOSE YEARS she's racked up, so we're going with an alternative prize package.

But first, Waffles and I have something to say:

Click HERE to watch on our YouTube Channel. Or just click below.  Pay attention, because there will be a quiz.


Now that you know how old Glogirly is, maybe you'd like to learn a little more about me and Orange Crush here. You're in luck. In honor of the old girl's birthday we are featured on MOUSEBREATH with an exclusive interview by the Funny Farmer Felines. I even let Waffles answer a few questions. Despite that, you won't want to miss it.  (Our post may go up before Mousebreath's so you might have to check back with them if you're reading this in the middle of the night when you should be sleeping.)



Ok, now for the loot. We're giving away a coveted pink GLOIRLY tote bag with some of our most favoritest stuff inside....INCLUDING a pink GLOGIRLY pen, the famous GLOGIRLY DESIGN catbell and a deck of the AmazeCats Playing Cards featuring yours truly. This giveaway is open world-wide.




But wait! There's more! A second lucky winner will receive their very own custom GLOGIRLY DESIGN birthday graphic (or any celebration graphic of your choice.) You can use it on your blog or print it on a card or even make a billboard. That part's up to you. You can see some examples HERE. This giveaway is also open world-wide.

And to make it extra fun, we've got some cool ways to earn extra entries.
(Besides liking us on Facebook which we KNOW you already do. Right?)

Giveaway Instructions:
Leave us a fun comment and make sure we have your email. Easy-peasy.
If you'd like to make fun of Glogirly, have at it. This day comes but once in a lifetime.

Earn Extra Entries!
For each of the following, leave your answers in separate comments.
You'll earn one extra entry for every correct (or nearly correct) answer.
1. How old is Glogirly?
2. Where did the tune that we're singing 'Happy Birthday Glogirly' come from?
3. What is Katie's nickname, as noted in the Mousebreath interview?
4. What is Waffles' nickname, as noted in the Mousebreath interview?
5. Share our birthday video on your favorite social media channel and just let us know you did.

That's it! Deadline to enter is next Waffles Wednesday, July 24 at 11:59pm EST. Two winners will be chosen with random.org and notified via email, as well as announced here on our blog.

How simple is that!?

This giveaway is sponsored by GLOGIRLY DESIGN (that's us.)  We bought the AmazeCats cards with our own green papers and a portion of the proceeds went to help the Cocheco Valley Humane Society.




Vote for GLOGIRLY & Support Minnesota's Feline Rescue, Inc.

We need your daily votes to help win $1000 for the very special kitties of our small hometown rescue shelter, Feline Rescue, Inc of St. Paul, Minnesota. With just a click, you can help make a difference for this amazing all-volunteer, no-kill shelter organization.

  16. Happy birthday to Glogirly! My human's birthday is in a couple of days, and she AIN'T telling how old she is. And I don't blame her!

    I can't wait to read the Mousebreath interview! I'll check it out in the a.m.

    ReplyDelete
  17. A very happy birthday to Glogirly! Our human will be 50 next spring and she can't decide if she should have a crisis or just celebrate. We think celebrating is much better!

    Wishing Glogirly a fabulous day!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Happy birthday to Glogirly! Hint to Katie and Waffles: "Oh my COD that's old" isn't a way to get extra treats. Just saying, because we learned it the hard way.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh my dog 50. A friend had a 50th birthday and someone (not us) gave them 50 lollipops and wrote "50 sucks" on the note. Happy birthday glogirly. And we know that tune its from the flintstones Happy Anniversary episode.

    Happy Birthday to Glogirly!!!!

    2. Mommy says it is the William Tell Overture. We keep asking her what William is telling her but she is being most stupid and keeps repeating herself. And who is William, we hopes he isn't a new fur sibling.

    5. We are sharing the video on FB.
