December Prayer Challenge

Hello dear you!

This December is going to be amazing! I love Christmas; the traditions, gifts and the celebration of hope. I'm also very excited to be blogging during this wonderful month. I have tons of ideas!

One thing I'm going to do is a Prayer Challenge.

Most of us are  lucky to spend "the most wonderful time in the year" inside warm houses surrounded by families. And of course our tummies are full of delicious Christmas food. 

But too many people aren't so lucky. Many don't even know what Christmas is. They don't know about the hope.

That's why I decided to create the Prayer Challenge. During the whole month I'm going to post a prayer request/theme EVERY DAY. And I really hope you'll take part! There will also be practical tips on how to help.

If you have any questions about the Prayer Challenge you can email me: iammrskblog@gmail.com

Extremely Loverly Things

I've asked my readers to send me pics of "extremely loverly things". (And by the way, 'loverly' is not spelled wrong. It's from My Fair Lady. Read HERE how this whole thing got started.) Here are couple from bridesmaids bouquets to parks in Toronto and NYC:

Thank you so much for sending these and sharing them with us!

If you would like to send me pics about something that is extremely loverly, email them to me (iammrskblog@gmail.com). Just make sure they are your own pics so I can actually post them. Remember copyrights!

Blogs by Christian Women

Blogs by Christian Women has been a huge blessing for me. I've found inspiring and thought provoking blogs and bloggers there. This is what BCW is all about: 

"This blog is a way for women of Christian faith to share their lives, experiences, and empower other women in the blogging industry. We celebrate women of all blogger types; fashion, food, health, family...etc. This blog aims to pull women of faith together to share stories and encouragement."

Alternatives for Passionfruit Ads (international and Blogger edition)

Nothing amazing is free. 

My free Passionfruit trial just ended and I'm not sure if I want to pay for it, because 'i am Mrs K' is just a small blog and I don't sell that many ads to cover the fee.

I started to search a more suitable option for me. I found Adproval. I was really exited about it (it was free and fun to use) but after creating perfect ad spots for my blog, I realized that you have to be in the US to be able to use it. So Adproval is not an option for me.

BLAAAAAAAH!

I continued my "hunt" but I found absolutely nothing for international Blogger bloggers. 

Another BLAAAAAAAAAAH!

There are great options if you use WordPress, but NOTHING for me.

Jane's Apple

I asked my dog for help. Should I pay for Passionfruit or is there another option for me?

She put her thinking cap on. 

And thought really hard about it.

But she never told me her ideas. When I ask her, she does this:

They look like a mini United Nations

I've always dreamed about adopting a child. There's something so beautiful in giving a loving home and a brighter future to a precious little child. I know couple people who have adopted a child, and I have to say I admire them a lot.

Here's an amazing video about adoption!

This video (and other inspirational videos too) can be found HERE.(ILikeGiving)

I want to share my 5 most popular posts (excluding the giveaways)with you.

1. Lufthansa experience

I was a bit surprised that this is my most popular post. Do you have any juicy airline stories? Read the post HERE.

2. A Small Magazine Bowl Project

My second most popular post is a craft review. I decided to try to make my own magazine bowl. Read my thought about the project HERE. By the way, I use the bowl to store some of my Bling A Ring materials.

3. Songs I've sung at weddings

The title pretty much says it all. I just realized that I forgot one song: Only Hope (Switchfoot/Mandy Moore) Read the post HERE.

Find Beauty Friday

Before going to work tonight (I work part-time in a big supermarket) I wanted to relax a bit and home decor magazines helped me to do that.

To me home decor/design magazines are the incarnation of beauty.

I love this Tolix Chair! HERE's another example.

Sometimes we should pay attention to small details.

Bling A Ring

I'm super exicted to share this with you! Today I created my own online shop! It's a small shop and "only" my hobby, but still I'm sooooo happy.

Take a peek:

Visit: Bling A Ring

What is your favorite item? 

It's Friday! Hurray!

My week has been like this:

Not a disaster but annoying things have happened. 

Somedays felt like eating a frozen salad

or having a stinky sock stuck around your nose

or like this:

That's why I'm so happy it's Friday! It's going to be an awesome weekend! 

But this was just an introduction to my real post :D

I'm linking up with Aimee (Dear Harper Blog). This is a Find Beauty Friday post. (Next week I'll be co-hosting! Yay!) 

I'm cheating a bit though; I didn't take the pic today BUT it was taken on a Friday. But I love these buildings and wanted to share them with you. 

It's like a movie set! I can imagine Amelie opening that door and stepping out in her pretty dress. 

What has your day been like? Has it been like eating frozen salad or more like a movie set?
