Blog Bash 2011 is going to be the ULTIMATE link-up party of the year! It will run from October 26-30 and I will be posting Exclusive Videos from the Relevant Conference. For all the details about the Blog Bash go here.

Here are the great giveways that will be happening during this time:

1. The Rusted  Chain will be giving 2 $25 Gift Certificates away!

This is my favorite necklace! I’m sure you will see it on me in future vlogs!

2. Quote the Walls will be giving away 2 $25 Gift Certificates!  Don’t you love this quote?

I am putting this quote on the wall in my kitchen when it arrives!

3.  Nathan Clarkson (Sally Clarkson’s son) just released his first ebook titled Wisdom Chasers.  I’ll be giving 1 of his ebooks away.

  Here’s an excerpt:

There are people like that throughout the Bible, people who stepped out into the wildness of God.There’s David fighting giants, and Isaiah calling down kings, and Esther defying death, and Daniel staring down lions. These people refused to stay inside, to be content with the safe idea of God.They stepped out into the wind of living his reality, of inviting him to work through their small human lives. The miracle is that God came, and he did…Ultimately, I want to know him. Revel in his reality. Taste his life. And never worry about the looks I might get. For I was made to know my God, windows down, his spirit roaring through my life. This is the great adventure and purpose for which I was born. How can I refuse?

4.  Did you know just 73 days until Christmas???? Yikes!  I must say that this Christmas should be more organized than all those in my past because I am implenting this awesome new ebook titled “Untangling Christmas.”    My friend and the co-author of Untangling Christmas , Karen Ehman, has offered 2 ebooks to be given away during the Blog Bash – hooray!

 

I had the opportunity to read an advance copy and endorse this book along with other great women – Here’s what others are saying about Untangling Christmas:

“Reading Untangling Christmas is a better tonic for holiday stress than spiked eggnog! My racing mind took a yuletide break by the fire, my breath slowed down and inhaled the distinct aromas of the season, and my blood pressure thought I was lying on the beach in the middle of summer. If you’re looking for a fun-filled, guilt-free, memory-making, stress-less Christmas…Karen and LeAnn have written the book for you!”
~Lisa Whelchel – author of “Creative Correction” and “The ADVENTure of Christmas”

“Why is it that the holidays string us out and knot us up?  This sparkling little book easily and happily untangles it all — so you can do what you really want with the holidays: Tie heart strings.”
~Ann Voskamp – author of the New York Times Bestseller, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

“My Christmas? It needs some untangling for sure. If ever there were two gals who could help me have more ahhh than eeek during Christmas, hands down it would be my friends LeAnn and Karen. Their ideas are practical, inexpensive, and even realistic for girls like me who fear cookbooks and glue guns. Get this book!”
~Lysa TerKeurst – New York Times Best Selling Author of Made to Crave

“This e-book is a gem!  Every page is filled with practical ways to untangle and prepare for Christmas.  After reading the ebook, I took action and headed to the nearest Target to create my own Christmas notebook using their guide!  Karen and LeAnn have creative ideas for everything – from gift ideas, wrapping, baking, and decorations – to creating meaningful moments for the family. They’ve thought it all out for me!  Thanks to this e-book, I plan to enjoy a peaceful and untangled Christmas for many years to come!”~Courtney, Women Living Well Ministries
