window to my world

Morrow and I are visiting my dear friend, Kim, over at her very creative, winsomely titled blog, Window to My World . We met last year when The Frontiersman's Daughter was released. Her heartfelt review became one of my favorites. Kim's enthusiasm and joy for books and writing are truly contagious! I hope you will take a peek, say hello to Kim, and enter the drawing for Morrow's birthday:) This time we thought a Morrow-type gift would be appropriate so the winner will receive a hatbox filled with Crabtree&Evelyn's Summer collection. Bless you all!

    And you also ALWAYS share the most INCREDIBLE quotes, too!! I'm a "quote nut", so I LOVE reading new ones! You're such a blessing!!

    Praying you have a beautiful day!! See you over at Kim's blog...

  7. Amanda,
    So happy you like the hatboxes ~ they're really beautiful, aren't they! Wish I had a stack:) I'm such a hat lover, too, and in my Princess Diana days owned quite a few pretty ones! Thanks so much for encouraging me here. I pick the quotes out with you in mind and am always delighted when you are delighted:) Thanks so much for stopping at Kim's!

    So glad you like the pics and colors. Thanks to google images and Flickr! Since I'm not a photographer, they sure make me smile when I find the right one. And thanks so much for stopping by Kim's and commenting. And for reminding me that Morrow's birthday really IS in July! I'm still smiling about that:)

  10. I agree with Amanda, you do find the best pictures for your posts. Half the time I am trying to guess if you took them yourself or did you find them from someplace else.

  13. Adrienne,
    Thanks for the pictures compliment ~ I remember you are a shutter bug/photographer yourself! One of my favorite ways to take a break when I'm writing is to go over to Flickr! and search for just the right photo, though I'm finding more and more of them protected by copyright. I always feel like singing when I find one that is public domain:)
