Dear Mary Jane, I am reading and enjoying my June/July issue of your wonderful magazine and since I scrutinize each page profusely, it takes me awhile and I’m always behind.
In this particular issue I cannot find Joy and Smiles at your to enter or see the contest of the real and fake flower contest you mention on page 5 which I still have time to enter 1, 2024.
Help me please. Thank you so much.
A faithful subscriber.
*** corrections to previos email…
NOT “at your to enter” but in your journal AND
NOT “enter 1, 2024.” but by September 1, 2024.
Apologies.
I would like to guess the Joy and Smiles Flowers as all are FAKE.
Thank you
I just received my first book and I love it. ty

I want to vote on the bouquets (Fake or real). The instructions say to search for Joy and Smiles but when I do, nothing is found. Can you please send me a link or better instructions?
Thank you so much.

I want to share a trilogy of books that center on a coming-of-age story about a young woman in farming/lumber country in central PA. She is mentored by a Native American healer, becomes a nurse who tends to her farming neighbors and the lumber camp workers and gets her heart broken a couple times. The Trees Inspire, The Trees Endure and The Trees Remember by Joyce L. Kieffer (a retired nurse and lover of trees) can be found at Amazon & BookBaby. Courage, family, love, loss, some wonderful animals and the wisdom of trees. I highly recommend!
Congratulations ladies on completing your badges!

Congratulations everyone! It’s so exciting to see all these completed badges. Amazing work!
I tried to enter the Joy and Smiles “real” or “fake” contest but there wasn’t a way to do so, that I could find–I tried clicking on each photo and also by the number but nothing happened. 🙁
