Michelle, I’ll be contacting you by email later today with your free downloads. (Winner was chosen by random.org) Thanks for participating.  Don’t miss out.  There’s still a few more days of Give Aways left!

Hello Everyone,
First off, thank you so much for all of your comments on yesterday’s post.  I have started emailing out the downloads for those who commented yesterday.  I will be working on them off and on today.  I’ll probably get my daughter Tara (my 14 year old) to help me get some of them out after school later so we’ll be working on them.  If you signed yesterday, just watch your email.  If you don’t receive yours by tomorrow then you can let me know.

For the 6th Day of Give Aways, I will be giving away one download of choice for the day’s winner.  You will be able to choose something you would like from the Women’s Resources on the website.  Please make a comment on today’s post in order to qualify in the contest.

Thanks for those who commented about my Tupperware Party.  Not a great turn-out but that’s just how things go.  I can still take orders through my Online Party through Friday morning so hopefully it will all turn out okay and I can get some fun hostess goodies:)  My mini fruit pizzas did go over well.  My family is glad there are still some in the fridge.

While making up my flower devotionals I’ve posted on some my recent blog posts, I had some other thoughts I never did anything with that I thought some of you who like working on your own devotionals might enjoy for some devotional starters.   I should have a new flower theme up on the website tomorrow.

Have a beautiful day,

Morning Everyone,  It’s the 5th Day of the 11 Days of Give Aways in celebration of my 11th Anniversary online with my CLM Website.  I have been enjoying reading all the comments.  It has been a real blessing.

Today I’m giving away the Devotional Download (10 of my older devotionals) and also a file with a few devotional “nuggets” (Lessons I learned from the funny things my kids said when they were little).  Today everybody is a winner!  So if you comment on today’s post you will be emailed the free devotional download files.

I don’t have anything new on the site today as it’s a busy day for me.  Errands to run and tonight is my Tupperware Party.  Wish you all could come but you can attend and shop my online party if you wish.  When I was first married I sold Tupperware for awhile.  I was thinking today how the Lord uses things that are so not spiritually related to prepare us and mold us to do what He wants.  I was so shy before I sold Tupperware and couldn’t speak in front of two or three ladies, let alone a large bunch of ladies like I’m comfortable doing now.  Tupperware helped break me out of my shy shell and no you can’t put me back now:)  I love that God always knows what’s ahead for us and helps prepare us.

Leaving you today with a few Mother’s Day links since so many have been emailing to ask Mother’s Day related questions.   I know many of you have been around for awhile and so these may not be new for you but there are so many new women’s leaders and pastor’s wives that are just finding the site so I hope these links will be helpful.

• First Mother Devotional
• Mother’s Day Themes/Devotional Topics (topics only- not complete)
• Mothe’s Day Icebreakers
• Mother’s Day Last Minute Planning

I think any of the themes on the website can be tweeked and turned into a good Mother’s Day event.  Here are some I think work best for that.

• Women of His Story
• Hats Off!
• Godly Lady
• All the King’s Daughters
• Pearls and Lace
• Reflections of a Lovely Lady

Hope you all have a wonderful day.  I’m off to do errands.  Making Mini Fruit Pizzas for refreshments for my Tupperware Party -in case you want to pretend you are here and enjoying them with me:) This is a good recipe to put away for your ladies meetings too.  They are always a big hit.  I try to get the cookie dough on sale and with coupons of course.  I read recently on the Pilsbury website that you can put the refrigerated dough in an airtight container and keep it in the freezer for up to 9 months.

Remember! Today everyone is a winner but in order to receive your free downloads, you must…

Good Morning.  It’s time for our 4th Day in the 11 Days of Give Aways in celebration of the 11th Anniversary of my website, Creative Ladies Ministry.  Thanks for all the comments yesterday.  You definitely all encouraged me!  I loved reading through them.  It was such a blessing.

Today I will be giving away one of the downloads of the Training Camp material.  Many of you attended the Online Training Camp this past August.  This is the same material all put together for you in a pdf download.  You can see the index of what it contains here.  Be sure to comment on today’s post so you can be eligible to enter the Give Away.  I’ll be choosing one winner from today’s comments to receive the Training Camp Material.

I’m giving you one of my “leftovers” for a devotional today.  Went reading through some old notebooks and found where I was working on preparing for the princess theme and found some points I’d made on the 7 Dwarfs of all things.  I finished it up and uploaded it for you today.

Hello Friends,
It’s the 3rd Day of the 11 Days of Give Aways in honor of the 11th Anniversary of my website.  Thanks to those who’ve been participating by commenting on the blog posts.  I appreciate each and every one of you.  Just so you know, I can relate to all of those flowers in yesterday’s devotional.  You just ask my family.  They’ve seen my Snapdragon impression a lot   I’m working on it.

Today I’m continuing on with the flower theme and will be giving away one of the Seeds for Kindness Downloads.  This resource is a set of 27 questions regarding the everyday things that we do relating to our kindness shown to others.   Correlates with a garden theme or the Seeds of Kindness Theme.

Also, today’s winner will receive a copy of the Women’s Ministry Event Planning.  This is a compilation of general information for planning a retreat or event for your local church ladies group.  Leave a comment on this post in order to enter.  See details at the bottom of the post to qualify.

Today I have another new devotional for you.  It’s relating to flowers too.  I have several different flower themes on the website but I will have a general flower theme posted for you by the end of the week.  By the way, my favorite flowers are lilacs and tulips.  It’s hard to say which I like better.
