Seasonal Delights is a quarterly online magazine for young ladies and their mothers, but can be enjoyed by anyone who loves celebrating the joys of each passing season! It is created and produced by my husband and me.
The first issue is 20 full-color pages filled with crafts, recipes, sewing projects, and many other Autumn-themed activities.
In my "know nothing about computers" brain I thought whoever wanted to receive a copy of the magazine would email me, and then I would email them back with the file. Phillip explained some of the problems with this plan. ;0)
1. Some people can't receive 5 megabyte emails.
2. When you email me your request, you would then have to wait for me to send it. What if I was away for the day?
3. Spam!
To avoid these problems we set up a separate website and email address. Just come visit me at the new site!
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. There is no place like home will continue as usual!

It's beautiful, Kelli! You are so creative and inspiring. :)
Kelli, are you the one doing the magazine???
i have the same question... is this personally published by you? it looks beautiful and i'm very impressed. i just glanced at what i could see (some photos weren't showing up), so i'll have to spend more time checking it all out. congratulations!
VERY NICE! I've been checking in to see your announcement. Congratulations! I'm going to pop on over there right now. I'm so excited. What perfect timing as I was just about to change the dining room decor to Autumn to go with my new Cinnamon Spice Pumpkin Candle my mom gave me today along with the cutest Autumn cookie cutters.
Oh, I love it, Kelli! It is so beautiful and inspirational. It makes me want to pour a hot cup of cider and craft. Blessings!
Kelli - it is simply lovely, just like you!! I am in total agreement - you are so creative and inspiring!!
How exciting! I'm so happy for you! :)

Kelli,
What a big thank you I send to you. There are other mother/daughter things out there but this one is by far the best resource I have seen. You have put together a top notch product. Thank you, I cannot wait to get started with fall decorating. I live in Alaska so we already have the fall colors showing through.

Hey Kelli, I already subsribed and downloaded the first Seasonal Delight....and of course printed it. It's really fantastic, especially the recipes, just perfect for this time of the year. You did a wonderful job!
Britta
Absolutely AWESOME, Kelli!
Congratulations!!!
I am going to have to visit the mag site...
So neat, Kelli! I can't wait to check it out. :-)
That is really great you designed an online magazine! :) You are truly a woman of many talents!! What a great surprise for all of your readers to learn that you have created a magazine!! :)
Woo hoo, Kelli! Congratulations!
Such a lovely first issue! I have put up a post for SD. Thank you, Kelli.
I love it! So lovely and full of fun things to do and make. It is like your best blog visits all rolled into one. Thank you!
Of course the first thing I'm looking at is the design because I'm a page designer. Looks beautiful!
You changed the design of the blogsite. I loved the old one, but this one is sooo beautiful. You did a great job. I look forward reading more of the great stuff you post.
Hope you are having a good week.

Kelli - it is beautiful, as I would expect from you. I've posted about it on my blog too - I so enjoyed reading it. Thank you to you and Philip. In the UK we don't go in for all the seasonal decorating and projects in the same way, and it is so inspiring to me.
I have printed it out and I LOVE it.
My post today is all about your new e-magazine and a link back to here.
Hi Kelli...first-time visitor to your blog, and I love it! It's lovely, and so is Seasonal Delights.
I'll definitely be back!
Yikes! I'm astounded at the response (we'll say more about that tonight over at the sdquarterly.com site), but I'm simply flabbergasted at how many of you are printing this whole thing out in color! Even we haven't done that!
I did just order a test copy through Lulu.com, but it wasn't cheap. Once it arrives, we'll post some pictures and let everybody know whether that's worthwhile. We'll probably also provide information on how to arrange the pages to get a professional-looking result at a print place or copy shop, but those are silly-expensive too.
Thank you, everybody, for the lovely comments. We'll aim for a 24-hour status report tonight.
Congratulations! I'm downloading and printing as we speak. I can't wait to read it.
Beautiful! I have already subscribed and downloaded this beautiful installment!
Thanks so much!
Oh Kelli, how very exciting!!!! I'm on my way there now to check out this new online magazine of yours and Phillip:-) xox
Hi, Kelli,
Congratulations! I posted a comment yesterday regarding your new online magazine, that's how great I think it is. I signed up immediately.

Hi Kelli, I'm still looking at my magazine--it's great! I love seeing all the recipes. You have done a fantastic job!
Kelli, it's absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful job! I've already sent the link to several people!!
Kelli, You and your husband are so smart. I don't see how you have time for all you do! I want it, but my silly computer has been warning me "low virtual memory."
Just beautiful!
I read of it first, in another blog. So I too, am trying to spread the word. :-))))

Karen, I tried to sign up for your wonderful new magazine and it wouldn't take my input. Can you help me in understanding what I am to put in. Is it my blog site or my e-mail address.
Thanks!! Remember, I'm the same one that had so much trouble with Mr. Linky for my first few Show & Tells!!!! Sorry :o)
Susan
P.S. See, I am confused....I called you Karen and I know you are Kelli!!!!
Susan

Thanks for sharing all the great recipes and craft ideas.
I love to stamp cards too.
Kelli - You are just amazing!! You and Phillip should be soooo proud of this beautiful magazine!! Love, Gwen
Found you via Crystal at biblicalwomanhood, and your strawberry muffins looked so delicious that I ordered your new magazine. I haven’t downloaded it yet, but according to the other comments it sounds just lovely.
Congratulations, it is beautiful and very professional! I would like to subscribe, I'm waiting for the answer to the question Penless Thoughts asked - do I use my present username and password, or make up a new one?
Katherine
P.S. - I have a "Free" Give Away this week, check it out!
Wow Kelli! You and your husband did an exellent job! Can't wait to try the recipes!
Jami
I love this! Thank you so much for doing this. Autumn is my favorite season and I have a daughter who loves to do crafty things with me. Thank you so much!
Please sign me up Kelli! What a good idea. ..and thank you!
Wow Kelli, 82 comments congrats. I love your new autumn header. It's very pretty. What progam are you using to make it? I hope you don't mind my asking. Hey, I've started to post on my teaching blog, not much yet but will start to get some valuable info on it. You home school right?
I am speechless at the talent you and your husband have demostrated. The free scrip. is too generous. Please send me an email with your snail mail addy so I can send you a token of my appreciation. I just love cones, and have never taken the time to make them. Is it ok if we pass the word on about the publication on your blogs?
Goodness, Kelli, with such success, I think you should publish your magazine and sell it! :-)
Hi Kelli, tried to subscribe, but keeping tells me that the temporary password given is incorrect. The sample looks absolutely beautiful!!
Blessings,
Paula
Kelli your publication leaves me speachless. Be prepared to get a lot of attention. It's so professional looking. I mentioned the magazine Homegrown Hospitality and I think it may have started out as a blog too. Your work, writng, photography are just beautiful. I wrote a story with the kiddos today of how sick I am of the heat. They thougth it was loads of fun. I am so ready for Autumn. I am going to try many things you have shared. Tell you hubby congrats. for me also. Thanks so much.
This is awesome, I love decorating for fall and any help I can get ideas from I love, very creative and fun!!!
WOW!!! Beautiful!! What a lot of work that must have been.
i just signed up..I read it on Sandras site and could NOT! resist..
It is beautiful! I sent an e-mail out to a couple of loops I am on and I posted about it on my blog! You should be very pleased with how it turned out! I look forward to going through it with my daughter this fall and look forward to the next issue!
Wow Kelli, I love the magazine. I printed it and read through with a cup of tea while my dd was napping! Teh recipies are wonderful and I plan to make the hop pads for a swap I am doing!
