BONUS BLOGGY GIVEAWAY/ SheSpeaks Conference Info.

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

Thank you for participating!

Winners will be posted on Sunday.

In the spirit of the giveaway season, I have decided to put up an additional item that will appeal to everyone! (See below for She Speaks conference details also!)

Since I love gift certificates, I will also be giving away a $15.00 Amazon gift certificate to one person who comments here, in addition to the wooden doll chairs mentioned in the previous post. I will draw for this prize when I draw for the other prizes on February 3rd!. Happy giveaway hunting! There a lot of great items out there and it has been fun to see how creative people are!

I hope that I can get to know many of you over the coming year seeing that I am now a Blogaholic. For those of you interested, some big time bloggers will be in Charlotte, NC this summer at the SheSpeaks Conference created by the wonderful women at Proverbs31 ministries.

Some of the special blogging speakers will be:

Melanie from
Big Mama

Shannon from Rocks in my Dryer

and Sophie from Boo Mama

It would be great to see you there! (FYI, I really really want to win the scholarship to this conference being posted this week at the site of Lisa Terkeurst because I have wanted to go for years, it is in my childhood hometown, I have read the Proverb31 magazine since near its beginning and I have just quit work to improve my writing to the point of publishing and feel this conference would be highly beneficial! Okay, breathe. Did I mention I am bringing a friend? Okay, I'll stop sounding desperate now. God, please! Did I pray that out loud?) See below for active link. It is also in my sidebar.

In addition to what I have said so far, I want to add that Proverbs 31 ministries has been a real inspiration to me and others around me with their magazine and commitment to growing women in the Lord. I still have the older pink notebook full of the 3 hole punched newsletters because the articles stand the test of time. Their magazine focuses on what it takes to honor God, our husbands, our budgets, and our families to be exactly what God wants us to be in Him. The articles are the perfect length in my schedule for reading and being inspired. The writers get it right in a nutshell and are obviously servants of the Lord with their speaking and writing. If you have never seen the magazine, you can get to it the link highlighted above. I would highly suggest it to anyone!

Though I have never attended a conference, I know by the websites, blogs and the magazine itself that the conference could only be a continuation of the prayerfully inspired works to which I have already been privy. Again, if you are looking to hone your writing and speaking, this is it!

Coming the distance we are coming, I personally would really like to at least split a scholarship with a close friend and fellow blogger so that we can both enjoy a break in cost due to additional travel costs. (I am so glad she is coming with me too!) I am just so excited to meet the authors I have been reading and to be inspired in my writing. I feel that a conference like this would also hone and polish speaking skills I have begun over the years and I know that anyone reading this would benefit if you are interested.

Thank you Proverbs31 women! You are awesome!

I thought it might be neat to surprise some others after the contest and send them a Bible, too. I don't have a lot to spend, tho. So this would help!

    Thanks for the opportunity!
