Curriculum Sale Blog Hop :: Thank You & Giveaway!

by | Aug 9, 2013 | Book Sale, Calendars, Giveaway | 90 comments

I hope you all enjoyed browsing though all the great books for sale on all the various blogs or, if you joined the link up, were able to pass on some of the books you no longer need to new homes during this year’s Online Curriculum Sale Blog Hop!  I was so excited to pass on so many of our own books (post one and two) and help my mom sell some more of hers as well.  (I did just reduce the prices on some of her remaining books and will continue accepting requests and forwarding them to her.)   I’m headed to the post office right now to mail the rest of the orders that have been completed!

As a little thank you I wanted to offer a giveaway for a copy of the brand new 2014 Saints Calendar & 16 Month Planner, which begins September 1st of this year. (I blogged a little about it here.  If you have already pre-ordered a copy it would also make a great gift!)

For anyone who would like to be entered in the giveaway for this Saints Calendar, just leave a comment on this post.  Make sure your email is either linked on your profile or included in the comment so that I am able to contact you if you win. 

If you participated in the link-up by hosting a blog sale on your own blog,  purchasing books from one of the links, or helping to spread the word on your own blog or Facebook, please leave a second comment for a bonus entry in the giveaway!

Comments will be closed Monday night and I will update this post and contact the winner on Tuesday.

In the meantime I want to ask you all to pray for Rita Davidson, owner of Little Flowers Family Press, and her family.  Their home and business were just destroyed by a house fire which they barely survived. They did not have insurance and lost everything.  If you can help you can find the link to the Facebook page for the Trust Fund for their family here.  
Thank you and God bless you all!
UPDATE:  Congratulations to Amy Caroline!  It looks like it ended up being a good thing that your first comment didn’t work.  🙂  I’ll get your new planner to you soon!

    I love these planners! I gave one as a gift last year, to a godchild's mother. I figure at his ripe age of 1, the people who influence his faith the most should have tools to help with his catechesis.

    Hi Jessica,

    I'm using today to finally catch up on emails and shipping from the book sales. Thank you for hosting the link up!!

    Thank you also for your prayers with my FIL's passing, it was a beautiful Mass and we were very blessed to have had the time we did with Grandpa.

    My prayers are with Rita! I remember all to well the fire that destroyed my SIL's home. Devastating news 🙁

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
