Life Beautiful Magazine - a contest! WINNERS!

Today I received two copies of the Summer issue of life:beautiful magazine. Each issue just gets more lovely!

As much as I love this magazine, I can really only read one copy...so I'm going to give my extra away.

The magazine is of the highest quality, over 100 pages, with stunningly beautiful photos throughout, and lots of scripture verse overlays. You will recognize most of the columnists - well known writers in the Christian community. Recipes, crafts, decorating ideas - they're all here - and they're all GORGEOUS!

Do take time to visit the website, read about this Christian publication, and enjoy all the beautiful photos...then do consider supporting their vision by becoming a subscriber.

Just leave a comment below in order to enter my drawing. Double your chances of winning by mentioning this contest on your own blog, and leaving a link for me to check it out.

I'll pick a random winner on Friday, June 6.

Updated June 6:

Many thanks to all who entered the contest. I truly wish I could send a magazine to each and every one. Please look for life:beautiful when you are out shopping. Walmart, Kmart, Target and many other stores will be carrying the Summer issue. (Fellow dwellers of "The 'burgh", yinz can find a copy at Giant Eagle soon.)

Special thanks to Christian Women Online for posting the contest, and to those of you who also helped spread the word on your blogs.

And, please consider subscribing. In the magazine world a strong subscriber base is necessary for survival for many reasons.

Since so many of you responded I bought another issue at Kmart to increase your chances of winning - so there are 2 winners instead of 1. They are:

Christina at faith, hope, and love

April at Salt for the Spirit.

I've left a comment on your blogs, ladies. Congratulations!

What a lovely blog. This is my first visit, and I learned about you through Monica at The Homespun Heart. But I will definitely be back! :o)
I would love to be entered into your drawing for the magazine. I, too, am a freelance writer, and a few months ago I emailed the publisher for a copy of their submission guidelines. Life happened, and I haven't gotten any further than that...but I was very impressed with the high standards and quality they encourage in submissions.
Thanks for sharing! I will also post this on my blog!
Blessings,
Amy O.
