One Winner, still time to enter two times

Last Monday's winner didn't leave good contact info, so I selected another name: Stacie, a follower is now the winner. We pick more book winners on the 14 and 21. Still time to enter.

The Word Quilters hope you are finding time to cherish the season and even relax a bit. On page 151 in our book, we give tips for taking breaks, our blog address, and ask any of our book readers to let us know how they have used any tips in the book. We heard from MOPS' leaders about how A Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts helped them out in a pinch. Their story:


Hi Trish,



I hope you are doing well. Remember me from last year's Christmas Tea


in Upper Sandusky? Debbie and I were just talking about how it was


just a year ago that we held that...and how that day was so magical! Thank


you again for being a part of it.




A neat thing happened, yesterday was our Christmas MOPS meeting. We


were all set to have a friend, and pastor from Columbus, come up to


speak for our meeting. At the last minute she canceled, and I scrambled


and prayed to come up with something to fill her time. I came into my office


and opened up your Christmas book, to look for some ideas. So...I ended


up having each of my steering members read a page out of it, the stories


about the origins of different Christmas traditions, it was perfect! And,


to me it was like celebrating the anniversary of our Christmas Tea. So


I felt like I needed to thank you again!




I hope you and your family have a very Healthy and Blessed Christmas!




Jill
