Blog Anniversary....and a Giveaway...

It's hard to believe that ONE full year has passed and it's time for my One year Blog-versary!! I've truly counted it a priveledge getting to know many of my new blog-friends over the past year; and as it's Anniversary time, I thought I'd have a Give-Away, and share a number of my favorite things.



So, without further ado....here are a few of my favorite things:


Soy-peppermint Latte...extra hot with whip..YUM-OH!! It tastes especially yummy during the lloonnnggg Minnesota winters!

Next, I am a HUGE fan of these....


I could honestly eat these by the bucket full! I like them fresh, as jam, as a pie, over over ice cream...with crushed oreos! :-)

Aren't these pretty? Another of my favorites.



I LOVE sneaking away to this place for r&r. Lot's of time to do a whole lot of nothing. How wonderful does that sound?


This fabric is adorable and I'm hoping to make curtains this fall using this print.


I love going for nature walks


I LOVE this new book I'm reading. It's very life changing, and powerful.


Although I enjoy summer, I look forward with great anticipation to this:


I also enjoy this:


I also love to scrapbook and make homemade cards....which leads me to my Give-Away. If you'd like to be in a drawing to win a Handmade "Prayer Journal", simply leave a comment and I'll add your name to the drawing. The drawing will be open until Sunday, July 27th.


My prayer is that as you visit "Season's Of My Heart" your soul is BLESSED!!

Kim~

    So glad to have gotten to know you better over this year.

    We share many of the same "loves" . . . berries, hydrangeas, fall and several others.

    Thanks for hosting the giveaway. The journal is just lovely.

  3. Where has my new friend been for the last week? I have stopped in all week looking to see if you have been around and nothing. Then I saw that you change up the look a bit but still no post. I am so happy to see you this morning. Hope all is well. I was starting wonder if that snake had gotten you.
    I would love to be in the giveaway.

  7. Happy Blog-versary! I always love reading your blog. Loved seeing photos of your favorite things. We have a lot in common there...God bless you for sharing your grateful heart with us.

    (And if I don't win, will you show me how to make that awesome prayer journal? I was asking a Christian sister the other day how she kept up with all the people she promised to pray for and she explained to me that she prayer journals. A great idea!)

    I hold you near and dear to my heart!
    Oh....and I LOVE fresh raspberries too! oh yum!!!!

    Love you bunches!!!

  19. Aaahh...Kim, you're changing things on me. I noticed the new header and the lovely gray to go with it. I bet you change your furniture in your house, huh? Smiles.

    We have much in common. I LOVE raspberries...come to think, I have a carton of fresh in the fridge. I can't believe I've not snarfed them down by now. I hope they are still good.

    I love the fall and nature...I just need a big stick or a protective man with me in the nature as I'm fearfully afraid of the creepy crawlies (sn_ K e s).

    I used to make homemade cards on my computer until it became too overwhelming.

    I would love to run.

    I have pink hydrangeas in my yard.

    I'm ready whenever you are to go to that peaceful place for r & r. It looks so peaceful.

    Sure count me in for the drawing.
    Many blessings, friend.

  23. Happy Bloggoversary! (Ummm...don't think that is spelled right...oh, well!) :)

    I am definitely blessed each time I come by here! If my life would slow down, I would come by way more than I do!(And when things slow down, I want to look for that book you are reading!) You are a treasure! And you are super sweet to even do a giveaway!

    Oh, and I LOVE raspberries, too. Especially dipped in chocolate. I will have to try the crushed oreos with them!

    Thank you for your prayers and encouragement!
    Love and blessings,
    Kimberly
