When I got ready to host some clients for a design meeting over coffee yesterday morning, I had no idea that our meeting would continue on until 6pm--through a barbeque lunch, a tour through a museum to look at some paint schemes and end at a lighting showroom in downtown Dallas. After a trip through rush hour traffic back home to pick up a folder, it was then off to church for a committee meeting which lasted until 10:30 pm. I found a crushed granola bar in my purse, which I scarfed down after the meeting. I guess that was my dinner. Anyway, the WHOLE time I kept thinking, "I've GOT TO POST THE WINNERS!" But by the time I got home, I had just enough energy to crawl in bed and set my alarm for morning.
Please accept my sincere apologies for not keeping my word yesterday....but here we go!
Our Most Points Winner for April is: Melissa at Seven Matters! Melissa totally rocked when it came to consolidating items around the house, and she tells me that's where she pulled in the most points this month. Melissa is a busy mom of 5 little ones and the Small Things are a fun way for her to help meet the needs of her family AND create a little more sanctuary. Melissa gets the $25.00 gift certificate to Mardel.
Our Random Drawing Winner is: Chris at Inconsistent Ramblings! Chris sent me her tally sheet and WOW! She got the whole fam involved. It was really fun to see what the Small Things look like at someone else's house....and how they add up to a boatload of activities! Awesome job, Chris! Chris will get the Liz Curtis Higgs book.
Congratulations, Girls! Thanks for participating with the Small Things.........
And now, want to know what you're playing for in the month of May?
For Most Points, the winner will receive:
Cute, so CUTE!
This "Apronon" from wrapables.com. "Apronons", as we call them in our family, are important articles of protective clothing which are now fashion statements as well. What could be more fitting for a Company Girl than a seductively demure lil' apron?? You want this.
Our Random Drawing prize will be a signed copy of I Saw the Lord by Anne Graham Lotz AND a signed CD, True Beauty by Mandisa. Mandisa is the gorgeous singer who stood up for Jesus on American Idol a few seasons ago, and her CD is incredible! She sang "Shackles" at the "Deeper Still" conference last fall and rocked the house!
Girls, this is going to be a great month for us! I've really been praying about some ideas to help us connect with each other, so I'm going to try a couple of new things that I think you'll enjoy!
I get emails almost every day from new Company Girls who want to join in with what we're doing here, and it reminds me just how much we need one another's encouragement, excitement and energy to live each day to the fullest. That's what Company Girls do for each other. I appreciate each one of you and can't wait to see what happens in May!!
PS I'll get today's Small Thing posted just a little later than usual today....still catching up!
