That is a gorgeous photo of your good self Kim. A self-portrait? Well done!

[Lynne]

Beautiful photos, especially the portrait one of you!

[Sharon]

Lovely photos and fun facts!

[Julie]

I have enjoyed your 5 facts. I have to agree that Gerbera daisies are the best!! Love them!! Thank you for all you do to encourage and inspire.

[Sherri B.]

Thanks for the chance to win this book, Kim - it sounds like a beautiful one. I love your self-portrait - this is an area that is still excruciatingly uncomfortable for me. And I am also a bookaholic! *lifelong member* :)

I will definitely attempt the Five Things...sounds like fun. Have a great weekend~

[geetlee]

Oh Kim! You look lovely! So so beautiful! I love that shot of you :)
You know I had this pretty photo that I wanted to link up for Beyond but I couldn't think of what to write.. I was mulling and mulling over it and then I read about 5 fact Friday!! Yayy, thanks for the inspiration :)

[Becky]

I wish we had Winners in the States (never even heard of it). Those journals are darling!

[Barb]

How fun! Looking at that book just makes me want it! Just because I just got a Kobo doesn't mean I am going to abandon paper altogether!

[Roxi]

aaaaaahh... gerbers are my favorite flower too. That does look like an awesome book.

[amy of four corners design]

photos are wonderful - and that book does look enticing! would love to link up with 5 fact friday but my day is already overbooked - hoping that I'll have another chance in the future! have a fabulous weekend Kim

[Amalia Ferreira]

The book does look very interesting! I love your bw pic:

[Yvonne Michelle]

This is beautiful. I love your posts, Kim! I'll see if I can post my 5 Fact Friday. Now I have to try to think with my right side of the brain, while spending the day using my left side, lol! I will add the new blog to my list to follow. I wish I could have taken your new course. Too many on my plate... I've been a bad Beyonder lately... gotta get back on track. Thanks for the inspiration, you are absolutely AMAZING! But you already know I think that! xoxo

[Elizabeth]

That looks like a wonderful book. Just got a new Mac and am adjusting to it in regards to blogging and photo editing as I couldn't afford the computer and new photo editing software. I miss being involved in Texture Tuesdays!

[Yvonne Michelle]

Ok, I couldn't stand it. I signed up for the class. I decided I'm in desperate need of inspiration and went for it. I'll see you in class! It's like going back to school for a semester! I'm free-falling now...

[Kathryn Dyche Dechairo]

What fun facts, love the images you chose to share too. What an amazing giveaway.

[Kristina]

Loved your facts and the photo of you is gorgeous. I'm going to check out those books right away!

[Viv Halliwell]

Gorgeous book Kim . I am also a stationery addict, notebooks, pens, sticky notes yummy.....

[anita]

The book looks gorgeous!

[Denise Powers Fabian]

What a great photo of you! Glad I popped in and saw this Fact 5 Friday...you've inspired me for my blog today! You inspirational devil, you...

xxxx

[Lorraine]

Loved reading your five facts! Headed to ROY now!

[Laf @ lafcustomdesigns]

Kim, what a wonderful post and lovely offer. I especially love the selfie--sooo becoming!! It seems to really reveal "you." I'm a serious bookophile too. Oh, I know the proper word is bibliophile. Honestly, sometimes I think I just like collecting them. I am guilty of reading the first third, then jumping on to a new one. I love how you are generous to the cellular level. ;->

[Cheryl M]

I haven't been able to participate much lately in Beyond Layers or Texture Tuesday, but just couldn't pass this up and I'm so very glad I didn't. LOVE your post, especially your self portrait, so good (as you'd say).
Would dearly LOVE to win that book. It looks like something I'd LOVE.
See ya over at ROY!

[Naomi]

So lovely... you. I just requested The War of Art from the library, but I honestly have a stack of about 20 books (I love them too!) and I must get to reading... it's so hard to separate from the computer. :)

[Lisa]

Kim, I LOVE this pic of you!!!!

[Cheryl]

Love this post Kim .. Omg another class I'll have to take and I'm not caught up yet on my other two. How do you do it. I think I'm going to need a bedroom at your house. Do you think Ben will mind a little white 5 pound poodle for a roommate.
Happy Saturday to you. I'll be trying to organize my office.

[Carrie]

Gerbera are one of my favorites too! The book looks yummy! Thanks.

[Donna]

Where do you find all your amazing quotes? I am a collector of quotes, and many of the quotes you use to enhance your pictures I have added to my stash of quotes. Thank you for the beauty you add to the world.

[Mama Zen]

Gorgeous shots!

[Bonnie]

I love your photos and facts. Beautiful!

[Shari Adkisson]

love to win your book give away!

[Madelin C. Wolf]

Photos and words!! Yay! I love listing random things. I also love books and paper, and boxes (empty ones). We have a running joke around here about my phrase, "That looks like a good box," which means I have to keep it from getting into the recycling bin. Thanks for the reminder that I want to read "The War of Art".

[Adriana]

first time here... very inspiring pics..

[Radish]

I love Steven Pressfield. I wish that this book was around when I was young, because it says so much about getting to the right place. I have had many false starts at creativity and always quit because I thought I was not good enough. But push on.

[shelley in bigsky]

fun facts...great pics...i too am a daisy lover...thnx for the chance to win...play well....

[Lisa Wade]

Kim, that is such a great photo of you! Your smile made me smile :-) I am working on my five today.

[Sara McGee]

Sounds like a great book. I am a book lover too!

[fro]

inspiration is everywhere...so true!
I also love books! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy :)

[cathy @ ma vie trouve]

Oh I am such a stationary junkie too! I buy it all the time and now living in Singapore I am telecom obsessed with all the Asian cartoon stationary. Especially the ones from Japan. What a fun post. Thanks Kim!

[Sheila]

Kim,

Thank you for recommending the War of Art by Steven Pressfield again – I downloaded it yesterday and I LOVE it! You are so right – it is mind blowing.

I love your self-portrait too – awesome!
