Goodbye For Now

I am REALLY going to miss you.

Very very very much.

But I will be back soon.  The MOPS are coming tomorrow to Daisy Cottage!  I am cleaning and primping and HOPING that they enjoy their visit. AND I happily have a new home story to write for Romantic Country.  Glorious Easter is coming and we will be celebrating my mother's 76th birthday. And there are quite a few precious hearts that need to be photographed so that I may share them ALL with you. So I guess I must say my goodbyes for now.

Hugs and kisses and nothing but good wishes for you and you and you and you and you and you.

Love always,

Kim

Kim, I really appreciate the fact that you work in a bit of creativity and inspiration into each day. The little bits of beauty bring so much joy! That's exactly the subject of my most recent blog post -- the fact that the busier we are, the more we need to do creative projects to refresh our spirits. In my post, I share ideas to work a bit of creativity into each day even if you are very short on time (and money!) Thanks for all the inspiration!

[Screaming Meme]

Oh sweet girl...Fluff and nest...and do what you do best...warm their souls with your sweet home and friendly personality...:) I look forward to your return...Meme

[Maggie]

Even though I totally understand, my heart hurts. I will miss you and your beautiful photos so much. It is such a joy to open your blog first thing in the morning. Your sweet words and wonderful outlook on life just makes my day brighter. I hope that you enjoy your Easter and all the people that you love. I know I will be eagerly awaiting your return!

You seem to have taken on so much, but I know that you will do a good job. The visit tomorrow will be more than enjoyable for the Mops I'm sure. Take care of yourself. Will be looking forward to hearing from you soon.

I was a little worried when I saw your words "I'm really going to miss you". Held my breath for a moment until I scrolled down and was relieved! Happy Birthday to your MOM and Happy Easter to you and your family. I'll be waiting for your return.

Good Morning Kim,
I'm not sure what WOPS meeting is but I want to wish a very Happy Easter to you and your family and a Happy Birthday to your Mom! Take a break from us and enjoy your family and spend some time on yourself. When you have a chance come over to see my new blogger template. I'm so pleased with myself for updating my "look". Hug Ms. Maggie for me!

[Jennifer S]

I'm one of those MOPs moms who is coming to visit! I had not heard of your blog until our leaders shared it with us and your beautiful invitation to come and see your home.

For those who wonder... MOPs stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPs can be found all over the US. It is groups of women who come together for some grown up time while they learn from one another about life as a mom.

This Saturday we are have a Mom's Morning Out that starts with coffee at a local shop and then our visit with Kim. Many of us are looking forward to all of it, especially the decorating part because, well, some of us are very challenged in that area!

See you Saturday!

[Rhonda]

Hope everything goes well, and you all have a GREAT time! Be sure and let us know when that article comes out. :) "See ya" when you get back!

[Barbara Anne]

I'll miss you,too. Please don't be away too long.

The photos of the many hearts you've received are awaited eagerly! I look forward to seeing how many directions our imaginations have taken us.

Happy Birthday to your Mama!

Hugs!

[Lallee]

Kim, the MOPS moms will LOVE Daisy Cottage. What a wonderful offering for you to let them visit in person! MOPS ministry is dear to my heart. I helped keep the nursery at our church for their meetings for a few years. It is the best outreach our church has. Blessings to your group.

My heart for Jack is going out in tomorrow's mail. Whew! I made it in the nick of time. I was determined to join in.

XOXO,
Lallee

[Cindy S]

I will miss you too, sweet Kim, but I know you will be back. I have enjoyed your blog posts so much this week. They really are a ray of sunshine to me! I adore your white pillow with the numbers on it. I have been trying to find ideas for some new pillows. Perhaps I should make one with 1927 on it, that is the year our house was built. Hugs, Cindy s

[Deborah Downing]

With life swirling around me, seeing your Dear Daisy Cottage...in my inbox brings a huge sigh and sometimes even tears of joy. I have a comforting place to rest for just a moment. Thank you, dear girl.

[Marianne & Mindy]

Kim:
MOPS sounds like such fun. I know you will enjoy. Wish I could be there to see all of the smiling faces when they enter your home.
Happy Birthday to your mom and Happy Easter to you and your family. Happy Easter sweet Maggie.
Enjoy your road trip writing for Romantic Country. I can't wait to read all about it.
Looking forward to seeing ALL of the hearts for Jack.
Happy Easter everyone.

You know what everyone;
I think this would be a good time to review Daisy Cottage archives.
Kim,
Thanks for letting us know you will be away from here for awhile. I hope you have a great time with your MOPS moms and in all you do.
Happy Birthday to you Kim's Mom!!
Happy Blessed Easter to everyone.

[Kelly]

Oh, you're a busy girl right now... good luck with everything, and I'm so glad your Mom is having a birthday-- celebrate!

P.S. Kim, I just posted a blog giveaway. I've started a Fair Trade Friday giveaway once a month to highlight the Fair Trade movement and their craftswomen from around the world-- there's a darling purse up for grabs-- knew that last line would get everyone's attention ;)

Take care sweet Kim, see you soon! xoKelly

[Danielle]

You'll be missed, but have a wonderful time. I am excited to see all of the different hearts!

[Hattie]

Kim! You about gave me a heart attack! But I see your absence will only be temperary. You deserve a break. Enjoy all you do while you're away. Blessings to you, dear girl. I liked someone's suggestion about enjoying Daisy Cottage archives. That's what I am going to do.

We'll all look forward to your return.

Love & Hugs,
Hattie

[pogonip @ meadowsweet cottage]

Dear Kim, enjoy your little blogging break while you prepare for the MOPS visit and Easter. Dipping into your archives was a wonderful idea so that I can keep getting my Daisy Cottage "fix" each day. The happiest of birthdays to your mother--she gave us all quite a gift in you!

I think your blog is amazing. We have been trying to move into an older house and fix it up, but have had to wait to sell our house in town. I am so excited it is finally happening. I love referring to your blog for ideas, beauty, peace, and just sweetness. Thank you so much.

[Janette Ingram]

Hi Kim, My husband and I were at an Antique shop in Hazel, Kentucky over the weekend just enjoying the day. It had rained the night before and was too wet to work in the yard so we "played". I ran into a girl in the store with an arm load of chenille bed spreads and I asked if she were collecting them or just making something from them. This started a conversation of "things we do with what". Just a very sweet person and she and her mom and sisters had been to the Country Living Fair, in Ohio, I think she said. I told her I go on a trip almost every day to Daisy Cottage!!! I just went on and on and on about your site. So...now you have a new viewer. She was just so excited about it.And was scratching in her purse to find a scrap of paper to write it on. I knew she would be. You know, all of us are just "kindred spirits" in this beautiful world that God chose us to be a part. Thank you for such a bright spot in my corner of this world. God Bless

[jan]

I love everything about your site Kim. what a blessing to have shared Jack and Tabatha's story. Thank you. jan
