  2. I just love this magazine. It's one of my all time favorites. I can't believe I haven't got a subscription yet - but every time I have a little extra money I always think I'll get it...and somehow never do! Shame on me.

    The bright blue sky and a day full of possibilities is my defintion of beautiful. Today.

  3. What a great looking giveaway!
    I would say something beautiful is new life, baby bunnies, flowers poking through the ground in the spring, leaves and blossoms popping out on trees and shrubs! I'm so excited for spring!

  4. Right now, I am all about neat and clean and anything with a splash of turquoise! I guess that's because spring is almost here.
    I would love to be inspired by this magazine. Thanks for the chance! :)

  5. This is totally not spring like, but my son just took a weekend trip with his friend and his parents and I heard that my 10 year old said please and thank you and no one had to remind him, thats a beautiful thing! Couldn't help myself, I'm just so proud!

    Thanks for the chance, the magazine looks amazing!

  8. I live at the beach and I think the sunset every evening is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

  9. What a great idea! This is one of the best give-aways yet!

    I love watching the seasons change. Thats what I find beautiful. Right now I love when the sun comes out, and everything seems to be wakeing up from a long winters nap!

    BTW I'd love your advice on my project! You can check it out on my blog!

    Thanks in advance!

  10. How pretty! My "something beautiful" isn't something I see, but rather hear. Last night, we were driving home from a distant hospital where my husband's grandmother is recovering, and I could tell my man was feeling down. I put in some Hillsong praise, and from the backseat, I could hear both of my children softly singing. It wasn't long before my entire family was singing along. It was a truly beautiful moment and I wish I could have bottled it up somehow, and remembered that moment forever.

  18. I would love a subscription, we don't have them here in our area. I think relationships are beautiful! My very best friend {Elise} though we have never met face to face, we speak everyday and most days several times a day... I treasure our friendship. My marriage is the relationship that is MOST beautiful to me. So definately I would say RELATIONSHIPS are BEAUTIFUL!

  30. I find the Book of Ruth to be beautiful!

  31. The most beautiful thing in the world are my 2 darling girls! (especially when they are holding hands and getting along)!!!

  32. I find a lot of things beautiful but here are two just off the top of my head:

    1. The Sky: It's comforting in the way that you always know you're looking up at the same sky from everywhere in the world but it's always changing, too. Just today it was the perfect light blue colour with clouds lazily strewn across the edges. It was especially gorgeous when the sun started to set and bled into the cloud and caused them to melt from red to orange to purple . . .

    2. Smiles: Whenever someone smiles, I smile. I mean, how can you NOT smile? Something beautiful is occurring, something reserved for you to see with your own eyes. I'm smiling just thinking about it! :)

    THANK-YOU FOR THE CONTEST!! :D

    (Are you smiling???)

  33. I think the color lime green is beautiful. It cheers me in furniture, candles, clothes, stationary etc.

  39. Jill,
    That looks like a wonderful magazine, and how very sweet of you to offer a subscription.

    What do I find beautiful?
    That could take a week to tell, so I will list a few only.

    A walk in the woods, near a peaceful stream, with my Lord at my side.

    The laugh of my grandchildren, and the excitement when they see us coming.

    The smile on my husbands face, and his warm welcome home.

    A quiet night with stars in the sky.

    A deep breath, a long sigh, that brings rest to my soul.

    A hand that reaches out for help.

    Thank you.
    Listing beautiful things is a wonderful reminder of the good things in our life here.

    blessings

  51. Beautiful birds. We get so many here in the mountains of Arizona...my favorite might be the roadrunners. I never get used to them.. they are such quirky looking birds. I see them quite often in my yard.
    Thank you for the chance to win something new to me. If I don't win I will still have to check it out, I have never heard of it before but you've peaked my interest.

  54. Looks fabulous, and I've never even seen it!!

    How hard to pick just one beautiful thing in life. Right now it would be watching my beautiful children make snow angels outside in our blizzard-like conditions. Nothing is quite so beautiul as the sun shining on fresh clean snow.

  57. A moment of beautiful today was seeing the smile on the face of a toddler as he played in the Church nursery this morning. So innocent, so pure, so beautiful.

    This magazine looks so inspirational. I have never heard of it before and I'm hooked!

  59. This was so fun to read all this happiness, so fun, I don't TOTALLY care that I missed the giveaway. My happiness? Watching my husband sweetly clean up after the dinner I made, while I sip a cup a chamomile and smile.
