Oh goodness! Where oh where oh where do the days and years go?? No matter how much we TRY to stop and pick the daisies and to breathe in the moments, time has a way of slipping by doesn't it?
Today is my birthday. Happy Birthday to Me! And please allow me to celebrate this day of being on this gorgeous earth with YOU! Not only am I celebrating my birthday, but I am also celebrating the latest issue of Romantic Country magazine because it is not only beautiful and inspiring as always but I have a few stories in there too! Woohoo! AND Daisy Cottage is so very honored to be featured in the latest issue of Cottages & Cabins! SOOO EXCITING! I am over-the-moon thrilled.
To celebrate, I'd love to give away a copy of each magazine to one of you along with one of my aprons and one of my red mirrors!
If you would like the chance to win my Birthday Giveaway, please leave a comment below and I will pick the name on July 11th. Oh and feel free if you'd like to share with me about your summer plans OR share whatever you like with each other. I am going to be away from my blog until July 12th - BUT I promise that I will be back. I have some projects to tend to and oh yes, those adorable and lovable daisies to pick. ;-)
You know - oh gosh I HOPE you know - how much I love you and how much I appreciate each of you. On this day, not only do I celebrate my birthday and these publications but I celebrate YOU with great joy in my heart.
You are pretty darn special to me.
See you soon cuties. I WILL MISS YOU!
Love,
Kim
Looks like I'm the first to comment -- does that make me the winner!!!! Just reading your blog each day a wonderful gift.
Whatever you do, have a great time. I'm going to visit my grandchildren in a few days -- they live too, too far away and I only get to see them once, maybe twice a year.
Best always,
Patty

Congratulatins and Happy Birthday! What a wonderful way to start your week! My summer consists of waiting on my first grandchild's arrival {eta 7/23} and then spending some time introducting myself to her.

It's pouring down rain in Ohio, but I feel like I just turned on the sun with my first-ever visit to Dear Daisy Cottage. I am in love with Miss Maggie!
The music is delicious too!
My summer is going to be largely about launching our rubber stamp business with my daughter Stephanie. We are haphazardly learning the ins and outs of computerism, sort of lurching at technology, then backing off until we get the nerve to run at it again. Not easy when you're used to thinking on the opposite side of your brain!
Thanks for this fun read and gorgeous pix. I'll be back! Enjoy your interlude until July 12 and pul-eeze enter me in the giveway drawing! Thanks a mil - Judith

Mmarking my calender on July 12th---Kim is back. Nice to have something to look forward to because you will be missed.
My summer will be relaxing days at home since hubby's hobby keeps most of his week-ends tied up. But that's o.k. because the Fall will bring grandbaby #6 and we will be traveling for that event.

happy birthday dear Kim. I hope you have a great day.

Happy Birthday Kim. Enjoy your vacation or whatever you do during these weeks away. We will miss you. I told you in another post that I saw your article in Cottages and Cabins. It is great. Hope that doesn't keep me from trying to win. :-) I want you to know you mean as much to us as we do to you. Be safe, be happy and we'll wait for your return. Alice from Arkansas
