This Candy is Now Closed! I will be announcing the winner on Monday! Thanks for entering and good luck!Please see Post on Sept. 27 for the winner!!!
Hello everyone! For those of you who read Women to Women you know that I recently wrote a devotional "Who Do You Follow". In that devotional I drew an analogy between the concept of "following" someone on their blog or Twitter, etc. and the words of Jesus when He said "Follow Me". I also mentioned the idea of blog candy, and how often people who are giving away a gift will ask you to "tell others" about their candy. I drew the paralell to Jesus when He said to his disciples "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men". Networking is the best way to get information, and to share information! As an illustration of my devotional thoughts, I decided to give some BLOG CANDY myself!
This candy will remain open until Sept. 25. Each person who qualifies for the drawing will have their name put on a slip of paper, and on Sept. 26, since that's my husband's birthday, he will draw a name. The candy is open to everyone. This is a list of what one blessed person will win:
New Box of EK Success Fibers
Tube of gem stones
Several new ribbons
New Fiskars Decorative Scissors
New Fabric Designer Brads by Spare Parts
2 Studio G clear acrylic mini Stamp Sets
1 Sheet Inkadinkado Christmas Stamps
1 New Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Happy Birthday
1 New Pack of the newly released BasicGrey 6 x 6 "June Bug" Paper
48 NEW PRISMACOLOR PENCILS! (These are the ones you use with Gamsol for a fantastic look!)
Of course, my candy cannot even compare to the gift Jesus offered to us... His gift was the free gift of forgiveness of sin, salvation and eternal life to all who will place their trust in Him. Following Him is our joy when we know Him!
What are the requirements to be eligeable to win this candy?
~ I'd love to have you follow my blog, but it isn't a requirement.
~ I'd love to have you follow Women to Women and I hope you will do so... it might just serve as a balm for your soul! If you feel you would enjoy it, please do!
The requirements to be eligable to win are:
1. Post a link to this candy on your blog and make a comment back to me here with a link to it. If you don't have a blog, leave me a comment on how you will tell others about this give away.
2. For a second chance to win, please read my devotional or any other one- (new ones are posted once a week) and come back here and leave me a comment about what you liked about what you read.
That's it! Real simple!
Be sure to check back here on Sept. 27 when I will announce the winner!

What a great way to share both of your God given talents....crafting and sharing the good news. I have you on my blog and I am following your blog and the women to women as well.
Hugs
No it can not compare to our Savior, but it is lovely of you to share.
It was a good devotional on salvation.
Grace I loved your devotional. And you'll notice that in the comment I left on Women to Women. It was wonderful to hear such a relevant and personal declaration of the Gospel. Thanks for doing it!! Oh and the challenge to all of us was great!
Oops I forgot to tell you about the link I made on my blog to yours! Check it out please!

Ohh wowww Gayle,what a beautiful blog candy.
Hugs Riet.x
I absolutely read your devotional today and it gave me pause to think about a couple of things that are going on in my "crafting" life. Thank you for the reminder of where my strength should come from! :o) I'm linking you up on my blog now!
Hi Grace!!
I have only visited Women to Women a few times. I commend you on a very well written, concise, and creative presentation of the gospel message. I need to reread it, go back and comment later when I have given it some time to settle. Thanks for being so willing to share your faith with ohers!
I will inlude a link to your post with the candy on my blog, we'll see if it actually works!!
Blessings, Traci
Grace, you have gone over & beyond... please don't include me in your blog candy draw as I just wanted to let you know that you are one amazing woman of faith and I count it a privilege to consider you my friend!
blessings,
Thank you for your inspiration today - I just finished reading your devotional after linking to it from Lorie Ames' blog. I do not have a blog, but I will share your site with others. Your words touched me today. Thank you for reminding me that of all the things I "follow," Jesus should be at the top of the list!
Thanks for offering the blog candy - It's a great incentive for getting people to your blog - and reading This Message! I did post your blog candy on my sidebar Here
Thanks to Lorie for mentioning your Devotional. A very special one indeed! And I will follow your blog. I have put the Women to Women as a favorite already!
Awesome blog candy.Thanks a lot for sharing.
Cheers!!

Grace! you're such and inspiration! Ive been reading Women to Women sharing Jesus from the start! I don't often comment but I love it! I especially love the your Follow Me post! It's something that I need today... It really touched my heart. I posted a link to your candy over at my blog.
Thank you for helping keep me focused.
Hello my friend, wow, straight to the heart Grace! Thank you! I am already a keen follower of yours and you pointed me to WTW months ago and I have been following since then - So I am already a winner. I am going back to reread your devotional and will commenton it tomorrow (it is very late here - nearly early! LOL) Prisma's are the things I can only dream of - what a gorgeous BLOG CANDY Grace - I am off to link it to my Blog! Thank you for the opportunity to play!! {{{hugs}}}
Sorry I do not have an active blog but I will share your site with those in my yahoo group. Thank you for the chance to win this fabulous blog candy. However you are so right that this candy does not compare to the best candy God gave us in Jesus Christ.
I read your devotional on Women to Women. That site has been on my bookmarked list for several months. It is always a good way to start or end my day. Thank you for such a great comparison today about following. Dar
Thanks so much for offering this amazing blog candy. So sweet of you. And it's such a great way to witness the love of Jesus to others.
I have become a follower & have linked it on my blog sidebar

Now I'm off to read the devotional.
Thanks again!
Huggies ~
Sharron
I read your devotional & love what you said about how "Jesus offered the candy of all candies!" What an awesome gift He gave to each one of us!
I also wanted to tell you that the Sept 27th is a special day in my life.........it was my father's birthday as well (he passed away 24 yrs ago & I still miss him).
Blessings to you ~
Sharron
Hi! lovely blog candy!! thanks for the chance to win :) Im going to link your blog right now!
Here is my blog.
Hugs
Agus
thank you for this chance
Hello Grace...nice to "Meet" You!! :) I started following WTWSJ months ago and have their badge on my blog. I just want to say what a blessing you are as well as the other writers over there! Jesus speaks to us through you ladies just what we need to hear and when we need to hear it. Thank you for your thought-provoking, heart touching articles.
Ok, about the candy--what a SWEETIE you are!! That's so fabulous that you are having a giveaway! :) I posted your Blog Candy HERE
Thanks again Grace! {{Inky Hugs}}
I did read you "Who Do You Follow" post over at WTW and LOVED IT! It not only is so well-written and accurate, but it follows what Jesus did...He gave many parables and ANALOGIES to draw people in and touch them where they were at and how they can understand! I don't know a blogging soul that doesn't know what Blog candy is all about, so that was very good to draw that analogy to following Jesus. You're so RIGHT ON--the Ultimate CANDY is Jesus gift of Himself on that cross for our sins. I don't write devotionals on my stamping blog, although I do provide some Christian blinkies and badges etc., but I did start a family blog where I like to write what's on my heart. Don't take the time often enough to keep up with it, and I certainly don't consider myself "well-written" but you are such an inspiration and I hope to do more of that in the future. THANK YOU!! God Bless!
{{Hugs}}
Grace, your name fits you so well. You are gracious to share this gift, but even more gracious to share the love of our Lord with us. I loved your devotional. It's so easy to get caught up in reading blogs and facebook and SCS threads that I can forget that the only time spent with eternal value is when I spend time with my Lord and am serving Him throughout the day. I'll go link this to my blog now!
Grace thanks for the wonderful devotional. I could not have read it on a better day as I missed Church this morning. :( What a wonderful read and what a wonderful gift you have given by writing such a wonderful piece of work. I love that you wrote it in a way that people of today can relate.
I have also added your candy to my blog. Thank you so much for offering it. I have a small set of Prisma colored pencils which I love and would be grateful to have a larger set with more colors. Thanks for the chance! HERE is a link to my post about your blog candy.
Grace, thank you for stopping by my site and leaving such wonderful comments. your site is beautiful and you are sooooooo talented. Can't wait till I have more time to really browse. God bless you and thank you for you challenging devotional!
Interesting analogy...will definitely go check out the W2W blog. Thanks for the chance at some great candy...adding you to my candy bowl HERE
Cheers!
What a wonderful blog and devotional. I just joined. I just love your thought provoking questions at the end of the devotional. Sometimes we get so caught up on following worldly things (trends, internet sites, tv, etc) we seem to forget that Christ is our leader and the ultimate one to follow. Thanks for reminding us to prioritize our faith in Christ.
Very interesting post, Grace. Something to think about that's for sure!
Hi Grace! What awesome candy you are offering! I love your analogy of following Jesus! I will post a link to your blog candy and read your devotional. I am already a follower.
Good luck to everyone!

I loved your devotional. I never would have thought of that analogy of "following" on blogs and twitter to following Jesus. Thanks for giving me another perspective on things.
Also, am now following both this blog and the Women to Women one. :)

don't you wish you would just stop everything and follow Him like Simon, Peter, James & John? I know I do... but I also know I'm so prone to getting caught up in the everyday flow of life and all the little things, I so often forget to just follow Him, and everything else will fall into place. Thanks for the reminder, Grace :)

HI Grace!! I love the devotional you wrote as well as the one written this week by Diane.

I pray that my extended family would find comfort from this devotional as well.
I have linked the candy on my blog. I pray many who have not seen the devotionals will be inspired. What a great way to get people to read the devotionals Grace

I love how you related blog candy to jesus. I see Jesus in everything so this was perfect for me. Your devotionals are wonderful. Lazarus will continue to minister to us for many mores centuries to come! How was that for a testamony! I always say, a hundred years from now, what will matter. it is good to remember this when your house needs cleaning and your children need you. Which will be the testamony a hundred years from now.
Hi from Italy! You create so beautiful cards! Thanks for a chance to win, I've just put a link to my candybar and now I am a follower of your blog and "women to women" blog.

Grace! What can I say? I love your God-given talent with your art. What a touching and inspirational post for blog candy. I, of course, already follow all of the blogs. We may not understand the things that go on in our world or why things happen, but we do know that whatever happens that we will always have Jesus at our side. We don't need to question the why's or how's, but just to know that there is a plan for us and we are to live for Christ. We have trials for reasons. We suffer for reasons, but we don't always know what they are or why when they happen. Faith is believing in him without knowing and trusting with all our hearts even when we don't understand. I think that trials and bad times draw us closer to God. It could be why we suffer them for us to become closer to him. When have you been closest to God? When things were bad, right? When things are good, we tend to take it for granted. Thank you for reminding us to keep things in check.
I have you posted on my sidebar. Thank you for everything.
Many blessings to you!

Hi Grace!! I love your blog! I am definitely going to follow and also follow the Women to Women blog as well. I put a link to your candy on my side bar and I am off to go read your devotional right now!
You make so many wonderful points in your devotional. Jesus did offer the best "Candy" ever.
I especially love this:
"Another of my favorite passages is Jer. 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”"
I truly believe that Jesus wants us to have awesome lives and he will provide us with everything we need if we follow him and pray and ask. I am very much looking forward to reading more on the Women to Women blog!
Thanks!!
Grace, first thank you for offering this fabulous blog candy, secondly what a wonderful way to glorify Jesus. Brillant!
I added a link on my blog and I am off to check out your devotional.
I just found your blog. I love your designs and the music on your blog. I kept it on all night. It is great how you are reaching out to others. I have told all the members of my Stamp Club about your blog. I do not have a blog. Keep up the great work and I will be back often.

I've placed a link to your blog in my sidebar titled "The CandyBar". http://thepaperfreak.blogspot.com
I also follow the WTW blog. I read this week's devotional, and was convicted once again that I fail to speak out boldly for Christ far too often. I'm a public school teacher surrounded by many liberal-minded teachers who routinely ridicule Christianity, but speaking up has proven my weakest area. I will do as the devotional suggested and "pray for boldness to witness to Christ Jesus".
Thank you for your blog. It's an encouragement to me!
OOOO great candy. Thanks for the chance to win. I've added a link to my sidebar.

Hi Grace! I love your blog... and your devotionals. It was after reading the one about "followers" that I started following Women to Women, and now I'm following you, too! And pleased to do so! Thank you for sharing your love of Christ with us... it truly is balm for the soul.

Hi Grace!
My mother's name was Grace and that is my middle name also. I love that name, but I love the Lord Jesus the most. I received him as my Saviour as a young child (I'm 60 now) and I'm so thankful for having Christian parents who taught me about Jesus. I'd love to win your blog candy. I don't have a blog but I will tell others about your blog. Judy
This is the first time I have saw your site and I want you to know that it inspires me so much. I truly love the first thing you said when telling alittle about yourself. I'm also a child of the King! I was a cabin leader this summer and the theme of the camp was I'm a Child of the King. I was a cabin leader for the ages of 6-8 and we had our own pre-theme and It was I'm God's Princess. I loved the decorating and letting all those girls know that they always have a father in heaven that loves them no matter what happens in this world. We also have a few things in common, I too have done and still love about all the crafts there are but lately I have found making cards my favorite, for the same reason as you. Well I'm going to check out everything else on your site I can get involved with. I almost forgot, I'm working on a blog but I'm having some problems trying to get things to post on my blog. I hope by the 25th I will have it figured out. I do have swaps I'm in on Scrapbooking.com and Splitcoast. I will advertise your site on the swaps. I hope I also have it posted by then. God Bless, JoAnn
What a wonderful tribute! If you do not have the Good Lord in your life...well, I do not know where you go. Thank your for your inspiration! You are a true Blessing to everyone who reads your blog....Thank you for sharing!

I was pulled to Diane Stader's 08-14-09 devotional, "Planted In Joy". I needed to hear that message. I have been questioning, the bible for several years, since my mother died at age 59, with much ahead of her. Thank you for directing me to this message.

Grace,
I love your devotional...I can't tell you how perfect it was to discover it on this Sunday morning before waking my son up for church and Sunday school! I have had some things going on in my life that have been very trying but I keep discovering how Jesus is taking care of us and it comforts me so... Your devotional was just another gift he has shown me today! Thank God I'm His follower! The blog candy is wonderful! I became a follower of Women to Women (what a wonderful blog) and your beautiful blog too. Since I don't have one yet to link to you, I will tell all of my card making friends and the ladies in my Tuesday bible study about your blog. I had been gazing at your cards for a few months now (they are gorgeous) but today just happen to be an early morning where I had time to look further into your posts and I'm so thankful for that!
WOW! what great blog candy! I arrived here from the Stampers United Blog Hop and I believe I will become a "follower"! Very nice work! I do have a blog at sarassuenos.blogspot.com. My E-mail is yeacupsmom@yahoo.com. I will try to figure out how to link to my blog, but if I can't I will at least mention it in an entry! Thanks for the opportunity to win. God bless you.
Great Blog Candy Grace.....I am already a follower and have added your candy to my sidebar on my blog.

hello I would like to join your candy, thanks for offering it, greetings from Venezuela and here I leave the dire de mi blog
http://ternuritasdeale.blogspot.com/
What a generous giveaway. I've linked to you in the sidebar on my blog. Thanks for the chance!
I have read "When the God of the universe answers you" and this post definitely looks so much like what I experienced yesterday ... When reacting to the fact that God works in strange ways and often do not realize that we respond to what we want according to his perfect plan in His perfect timing.
Thanks for these reflections ... Forgive my English is not very good, read these lines was as valuable as winning the candy ...

I don't have my own blog yet, but i'll tell about yours to the people on my mail list. Your devotional really got me to think.

but I found more than that.
Though I've been a Christian since I was born, I'm very happy to 'find' Jesus in this blog candy thing :))
You are blessed with this genial idea, I hope this will many people to be saved by knowing the Jesus, the True Love and the only Truth. I hope WtW can help me to keep in His path.

Hello! What a way to show a path to others and following more than once on here!
