GRAND FINALE ~ Part Four (!!!!) Kim Vogel Sawyer!!!


I just sent off a mass of balloons (think the little old man in Up ;-)) and the confetti is drifting around the tables. And I'm laying out a few sweets and little snacky things for the rest of the day. So enjoy! You know in the historical days, parties would last all night long.

I figure I can at least throw a virtual party that can last as long as I want it too. It's an Open House! Come and go as you wish, just remember to stop by at THESE times and have you seen the other three interviews posted this morning? Here they are again: Rachel Van Dyken, MaryLu  Tyndall and Rosslyn Elliott.

And the times they posted:

Midnight

3 a.m.

6 a.m.

9 a.m.

Posts still to come:

12 p.m.

3 p.m.

And NOW I've got a great guest for you today and I am so honored to have her here on my blog today. Kim Vogel Sawyer is one of my very favorite authors and I feel privedgeled to have met her at ACFW this year. So...here is Kim!!

What is your most memorable party moment? 

Hubs pulled off the perfect surprise party for my 50th birthday. I love being "got"--and he got me but good. It was great!

Who’s on your personal VIP party guest list? 

Of course my family, which includes my church family, and my soul sisters--Kathy, Connie, Eileen, Margie--who all live too far away for day-to-day get-togethers.

Complete this thought: 

The perfect party isn’t perfect without: the peeps I love, lots of chocolate, and clusters of purple balloons. :o)

Oh we've got the balloons and I see a few purple ones in there just for you, Kim! :-)

Would you like to know what today's prize is? Kim is generously offering two copies of this novella collection...

Doesn't that just look like a novel to curl up with at the fireplace?

Be sure and visit past giveaways --and in case you are just now seeing this, remember all the winners will be publicaly announced this coming FRIDAY. I will start emailing you before then. So be haunting your inbox! :-)

If the link is still live at the top of the screen, go for it and enter away!

THANK YOU FOR COMING BY!!!!!!!!!!

    Kim! I can tell you're a fan of purple! Did you get those purple boots yet? In case you're wondering I'm the girl who recommended the Bearpaw Boots on Facebook. ;-)I'm SUPER excited for Christmas and while I'm not normally a fan of novellas this book looks soooo good!!!! I'd love to be entered!

    Kim is also one of my favorite authors. I have "A Whisper Of Peace" next in my pile of books to be read. I've read many of her books but not "Montana Mistletoe." It looks like a great book to curl up with on a December evening.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.

    AUDRA, so glad you got to BE one of those guests! You are every bit as sweet as Pepper promised you would be. :D

    I haven't read this book by Kim, but as an avid fan of her other books, I can bet this one is just as good. I love the characters and stories Kim crafts. It seems almost effortless to her. And it appears effortless on the page. :D
