<blockquote class="quotation"><p>“We must accept that this creative pulse within us is God’s creative pulse itself.”—Joseph Chilton Pearce</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">God has really been opening doors for us with <a title="Shekinah Arts" href="http://www.shekinah-arts.com">Shekinah Arts</a> and proving His faithfulness and I might even say we are walking in His favor right now in our little business, and I intend to honor God with what He has given us. I never want to forget why this business exists, who it exists for and even, how it exists. It is ALL for His Glory and His Kingdom! We are helping to build the Kingdom by equipping churches and ministries in their media, (and even social media marketing) and we will be His Light in the darkness.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://creativecollective.is/e-books/creative-matters/"><img title="creativematters" src="http://www.womanlyexcellence.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/creativematters-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Creative Matters</p></div>
<p>I ran across this through <a href="http://www.collidemagazine.com/blog/index.php/2623/creative-matters-a-free-ebook-just-for-you?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CollideMagazine+%28Collide+Magazine%29">Collide Magazine</a> and of course, immediately, went to download it. (Did I see &#8220;free&#8221;? and &#8220;creative&#8221;? That&#8217;s definitely for me!)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Oh. My. Goodness.</p>
<p>I recommend this book to anyone creative or not. Actually, I believe everyone is creative whether they realize it or not; maybe we have different levels of creativity or different areas of creativity, but</p>
<blockquote class="alt"><p>God is a creative God and we were created to be creative!</p></blockquote>
<p>So, I downloaded this book and really, I haven&#8217;t read it yet. I confess. But I skimmed through the first few pages to see what it was about and WOW!</p>
<p>In their preface they describe what the book is about and why it was written. They end with this:</p>
<blockquote class="quotation"><p>We reject Copy and Paste. We reject settling. We reject excuses. We reject creative atrophy. You were created for more. You were created to create. You matter. Your work matters. Creative Matters.</p></blockquote>
<p>WOW! Again!</p>
<p>So go download the <a href="http://creativecollective.is/e-books/creative-matters/" target="_blank">Creative Matters</a> e-book (pdf) by <a href="http://www.clark.is/blog-post/creative-matters/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Clark </a>for FREE and enjoy!</p>
<p>OK, So I&#8217;m going to be reading this and keeping it accessible for sure! Loading it onto my iPhone so I can read in bed <img src='http://www.womanlyexcellence.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Today is <strong>Mega Swag Bucks Day</strong>! If you are not doing swagbucks, <a href="http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&amp;rb=445089">sign up now</a>! Between 2-3 pm CDT, you can search and win 10, 20, 40 and even 100 swagbucks!</p>
<p>What is it? <a href="http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&amp;rb=445089">Swagbucks.com</a> is a way to earn &#8216;swagbucks&#8217; which you can then redeem for some pretty sweet prizes. The easiest way to earn them is while searching (and you get results from google and ask). You can then redeem your swagbucks at their swagstore. The easiest way is to install the search toolbar (or if you have Firefox, you just add the swagbucks to your search bar at the upper right) but you can also go to <a href="http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-home">swagbucks.com</a> and search from there. There are also other ways to earn prizes&#8211; invite your friends, shop online, send in old cell phones, interact with polls, etc.</p>
<p>So <a href="http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-home">start searching today</a> for a chance to win some mega swag bucks!</p>
<p>And to add some fun, head over to <a href="http://www.thethriftymama.com">TheThriftyMama</a> during the MegaSwagbucks event for some fun chatting and searching games!</p>

<p>I put out some of my Spring decorations today and I wanted to share my thrifty tip! Seasonal decorations can be so expensive but I love shopping for them at the end of each season when they are on clearance. Last year I bought several Easter/Spring decorations &#8211; a couple easter egg trees, decorative easter eggs, etc. One of my easter egg trees had a couple eggs pulled off and the styrofoam center was actually broken at the top. With my handy hot glue gun and my scrapbooking flowers and brads, I repaired it and with the flowers added I actually like it better!</p>
