Give-Away Week

By

Does anyone else have the problem of thinking that there is always going to be more time than there really is? I was going to blog from my trip down south but of course I didn't because I was busy. Having fun primarily and keeping the baby and the twins from destroying my cousin Eileen's lovely home.

Suffice to say we had a GREAT time and our visit to the Atlanta Aquarium was a high point. If you have the opportunity to go you should, it's expensive but worth the money.

I promised a while back some Give-Aways and this is the week!!  First, I want you to pop over to Jenn's blog, Wildflowers and Marbles and enter her Give-Away of a free subscription to Mater Et Magistra. I will be giving one away as well but later in the week and you should enter there and here so you can have two chances to win! if you win both then you can give one to a friend.  If you don't win may I ask that you consider purchasing a subscription as a gift to yourself? It is a lovely magazine and I am so honored to be part of it. Really I'm out of my league with the caliber of talent they have over there but they tolerate me so I love them all.

So today's big Give-Away?

Drum roll……..

Family Centered Press' Large Planner. This is a $25 value. The planner now comes with both the Ordinary (New) and Extraordinary (Traditional)
Forms of the Liturgy, the liturgical colors proper to the day and nine
beautiful cover options.

Michele's planner has been ordering my life for years now and honestly I don't like to think of life around here if I didn't have it. So leave a comment in this post telling me which cover you love and don't forget to leave an email address so I can contact you if you win.

How this week will work

I will leave comments open on all the posts until Friday evening. Please only enter each Give-Away once.  I will pick the winners over the weekend and post the whole lot of them on Monday. 

These products that will be gifting are truly that, my gifts to you my readers who are so kind to me. I hope that you all have fun participating in this.

Have a blessed day!

ME-siggy

  3. #6jc is really nice (though any would be lovely).
    Thank you for running such a wonderful blog, and sharing your life with us!

  5. So hard to choose just one cover! I think I like the first one the best, (#1RA) with Mary surrounded by angels. I’ve heard so much about these planners, I would love to win one! Thank you for doing this!

  10. What an awesome planner! I like the 2SA cover best. I love that the planner is offered in both the Ordinary and Extraordinary forms. Absolutely awesome! I must get one of these. Thank you for the great chance to win one!

  11. I have been putting off ordering because I can’t decide on a cover! I think they are all wonderful. There needs to be some option to have more than one cover, lol. 🙂 But if I had to pick, I think I would pick “The Angelus” #5AG, because I am trying hard lately to live a simple, prayerful life, and that would remind me to continue. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win one, Mary Ellen, God Bless you!

  13. Last year I didn’t even get one on time, it was tragic. Luckily someone was selling an extra she didn’t need. I would pick the Angelus cover. 🙂 (Missed you.)

  14. I would love to win this! I used Michelle’s planner for two years and then, last year I decided to save some money and I didn’t order one. I tried to go without and found I needed it. By then, they were all sold out!

  15. Thank you so much for this offer. I have been drooling over these planners the whole weekend after seeing another homeschooler post about them. What a difficult decision, though! I suppose #4ME, although I hope we can get the other covers in future years. They are all stunning.
    And I just subscribed to Mater et Magistra and got my first issue. The very first column spoke right to me, and the whole magazine is awesome! I’m just a newbie, but I can’t recommend it enough.

  16. I love L’Innocence, #3LI! Michele just linked your blog at 4Real, and I’m so glad she did!

  18. Oh my! I’m there, Mary Ellen – I’ve always wanted one of these, so please enter me. Basic blue for me #8. xx

  21. I LOVE Michele’s planners! Thank you for hosting this give-away! All the covers are lovely…I think my favorite 4ME.

  22. Mary Ellen,
    I wonder if a planner would actually help me stay organized? They look great. I like The Angelus.
    See you soon.

  24. Thank you so much for this giveaway. I love all the covers but my favorite might be 2SA.

  27. Please enter me in the contest too !! I like cover 2 and 3.. cna’t decide 🙂 It’s my birthday next week and I’d love one for a birthday surprise 🙂

  30. Hi Mary Ellen. Thank you so much for this fun chance to win my FAVORITE planner of all time. If I were to win, I would like #4ME. On another note, you are often in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

  31. I have been home 8 months after living abroad with very few things – I now know what I need and what is just excess, and am committed begin paring down. I really want to spend my free time with my kids, outdoors and in and w/the Lord – not always reorganizing. 😀 Pray for me 😀
    I am very fond of the picture of the Holy Family – oh, to live closer to that!
    God Bless and thanks for the opportunity!

  34. I’ve bought Michelle’s planners for a few years now, for both me and my husband, and lo and behold, it’s time for me to reorder for the upcoming school year! 🙂 They are lovely. I love planners anyway, and getting my new one each year is my little Christmas, hehe… I think 2SA is my favorite cover.

  37. I would love to win the planner – it’s the exact mom treat that I would buy myself.

  40. Hi Mary Ellen — Please, enter me in the drawing for the planner. I need all the planning help I can get! Blessings, Karen +AMDG+

  43. I have just started using a planner, and just bought a cheapo one at Walmart (which is already falling apart). I have seen these and they look great! As far as the cover goes, they are all very beautiful! I can’t decide if I like #1 or #5 best.

  46. My planner is coming to the end portion. This give away came just in time. Thank you!
    If chosen please use the cover #4ME.
    Thank you!

  47. oh, i don’t know what i would do without michele’s lovely planners! i love the cover of Our Lady adoring the Eucharist. please enter me. 🙂

  48. I’ve been trying to decide between this and the CHC planner. I would love the 3LI cover the best!
    God bless you for offering to gift others, especially that know you by blog only.

  51. I was just looking at these yesterday and thinking how could I ever decide which cover?! I think right now I’d pick #2SA.

  53. I just started using this beautiful planner last/this year, and I love them! I will be ordering cover #7HF, but if I win, I’ll gift yours to a dear friend. Thank you for entering me.

  56. These are great! Thanks for the chance to win. All of the covers are so pretty, but I especially like #4ME

  58. I would like to have one of these for the school year. I like the 5AG because I would hope it would remind me to take a moment to stop and pray throughout the day 😉

  59. Oh my, 3LI is my most favorite cover. I’d love to win this and then gift it to a dear friend who just converted. She would love it!!

  62. Thank you. I just love her planners and I didn’t get one at her last conference two weeks ago.(not smart) but maybe I will win it here! I love give-aways, so much fun. I really like 2SA. Thanks again and God bless, Cecilia

  63. I couldn’t narrow down my choice so I had my kids vote. #1RA won out! Thanks for hosting.

  68. I have been using these for years – I can’t give it up even though I also use google calendar. I think #2SA is lovely.

  69. I would love to have such a beautiful planner! I would choose 2SA. Thank you for the opportunity!

  74. #1RA is my favorite…I think! They are all beautiful; it is a difficult choice. I love how it has EF and OF this year – best of both worlds 🙂

  76. I love these planners. My favorite cover for this year is #5AG. Maybe it will help me to remember to say the Angelus.

  78. OOH I have been wanting one of these for such a long time, but it’s never been in the budget. Pick me. Thanks and God bless.

  80. #5AG is my top choice. I am sooo excited about this year’s planner! Great work, Michele! Great give away, Mary Ellen! God bless you both!

  82. Please enterme in this great give away. Just what I need to get more organized! I love the Angelus cover!

  83. I love this planner. The first cover is my favorite. I hope I am not too late to enter in this drawing!

  87. #3Li for me please!! Thanks for such a fun give away – winning this would make my week. Kellyann

  89. Ooh! These planners are just lovely, and my life needs more planning! I love cover #4. Mary Ellen, your blog has been a blessing to me.

  90. I may have accidently posted twice…thank you for the opportunity to win the planner. My favorite cover is 2SA.

  92. #3LI has long been a favorite picture of mine, but #4ME is calling to my heart. I don’t think I have ever seen it before.
    Please enter me in your drawing. Thank you for doing this week of give-aways!

  95. All the cover options are lovely; but my favorite is the Madonna of the Eucharist (#4ME) . We have a print, received as a wedding present, hanging on my dining room wall.
    I’ve been wanting to get one of these planners for a while but can’t quite justify the expense right now. So winning would be a treat.

  99. Oh my – they are all so lovely! If I win, you choose between #3LI and #5AG for me please. Thanks!

  101. What an amazing giveaway! I love all the covers and have many of those images already, but not the Holy Family, so if I’m lucky enough to win 7HF. Thanks!!

  102. I hope this is not a duplicate… My previous message isn’t showing up, so cover 7HF. Thank you!
