Great prizes Mrs. M!
What was supposed to be in the subject line???
I remember Mercy saying to put something specific in so she would know it was for the contest.

How exciting!!! That colligraphy kit and the books are REALLY catching my eye! :)
I am going to try and write something, but due to life being extra busy these past few weeks I am not so sure I will be able to! :(
We shall see what the Lord has in store!
Blessings,
Miss Antoinette
PS. I really enjoyed tonight's webinar! I wish you had more time (and more weeks) to share more of what you know!
Hi, Antoinette,
I'm so thankful you enjoyed the webinar. Mercy and I love hosting it! We hoping to hold more sessions beginning in January if there's enough interest, so tell all your friends...
Blessings,
Mrs. M.
What format should we enter these in? .pages, .txt, .doc, .docx, .pdf, .rtf?
Also, should there be a title page?
And lastly, by 'October 14' I assume you mean 12:00 AM EST October 14, 2010?
In Him,
Jeffrey
Mrs. Morecraft,
One quick question: what format would you prefer us to submit our work in? (i.e. a pdf attachment...or just copy and paste directly into the email...etc.)
Thank You!
I did not see any attachment stipulation in the rules listed in the blog post, so I submitted my entry directly in the email text. Is that a problem? If so, I can re-send it with a Word document properly attached.
It's fine to post your entry in the email text area.
Mrs. M.
I sent mine as a pdf. Do I need to re-submit it in the email text area?
In Him,
Jeffrey
No, Jeffrey, you do not need to re-submit your entry. My daughter says she has received it. Thanks.
Dear Mrs. Morecraft,
I have been listening to your recorded sessions for the past few weeks due to crazy schedules. They are very inspiring and encouraging.
Also due to busyness, I missed the writing contest. I was wondering if there will be another one during this class? If there will be another, I would love to participate.
Thank you.
In His Love,
Hannah
I'm so sorry several of you who signed in late were not able to post an entry for our writing contest. God willing, we will sponsor another contest connected to the webinar I hope to begin in January of 2012. I'll keep you posted.
