“Where have you been?” Laura exclaimed.  “I thought you’d been kidnapped!”

“What do you mean, I just ran to the back for customer service because I saw a small tear in this skirt and wondered if I could get a discount.  Then I came back to find you but you weren’t around.  I figured you must have paid for what you wanted and went out to the car, so I went out to look for you!  I was just about to call the police!”  Tracy explained.

“That’s funny, I thought the same about you,” Laura replied.  Just then Laura’s phone chirped.  She picked it up and took a look at it, “That’s Noah.  He’s wondering if we’re going to be out much longer because he’s ordered pizza and wants us to pick it up on the way home.”

“Men.  I tell ya,” Tracy responded.

“Well, I guess we’d better go pay for what we’ve picked and get home,” Laura replied.  “I mean, who wants cold pizza?”

Just then an announcement came over the loudspeaker, “We’d like to congratulate Anne S. for winning the October 2011 New Creation Apparel giveaway at Is This Modest. Hope that you’ll come back next month to try again!”

The ladies headed up to the checkout, and while they were waiting Tracy remarked, “I think I’m going to check out New Creation Apparel.  Is This Modest has a giveaway from them every month, and if I get on their newsletter I’ll get an e-mail when they do their giveaway.  You can never have enough high quality skirts.”

“That is if I don’t win it first!” Laura smiled.  They headed home, with stories to tell and gifts to give.  In all, it was a very productive day.

It’s that time again!  Time for another giveaway, and this one is going to be an easy and I hope fun one.

Some of you may know that while I was in high school I wrote a fiction story.  In fact, I’ve published a lot of it over at MInTheGap Fiction, though I’m not sure how good it is…  In any event, I have some characters over there that have shown up in different blogs from time to time, and I figured now is the time that they show up at Is This Modest.

For this month’s giveaway, I want to create a new story based on these characters.  I’ll detail more in a moment, but here’s where it gets (I hope!) fun.  Here are the rules:

• Comment must be 3 to 6 sentences… OR  Be a line someone spoke.
• You may comment as many times as you like, but you must wait for someone else to comment before adding on.
• Do not use the reply feature, because it will mess up the story.  Any replies will not be counted.
• You get one entry per comment that meets the rules.

So, we’re writing a story.  I’ll get it started and tell you about the characters, and from there, where it goes is up to you and how creative you get.  Write a paragraph to move the story along.  Write some dialog for one of the characters.  It’s up to you!  I’ll write a wrap up when it’s done.

And so, without further Ado, Fiction Meets Modest:

”Honey,” Tracy said, “I want to go to the store and pick up a new skirt.”

“That’s fine, but you know what happened the last time,” Adam replied.  Being a detective, he was used to interrogating a suspect, and so it was hard to turn that off.  “You went to the mall with Kristin and neither of you could find a thing that was modest to wear.”

“I know, but Laura showed me this website, IsThisModest.com, and it had a list of all sorts of places that I could find modest skirts, and I think that I could find some of these things locally—if they have them in stock,”  she replied.  Laura stayed at home with the kids and had a very stylish fashion sense, so Tracy knew that she could trust her.

“I thought Laura and Noah were going out tonight?”

“That was the original plan, but circumstances have changed.”

You take it from here…

There’s no one on this list that can beat the sheer numbers of skirts that are offered by New Creation Apparel. That’s because they are the expert at modest skirts. Just take a look at some of these:

What’s neat is that they’ve advanced into Maternity Skirts as well, and they have some great skirts there.

Now I know that some have had questions about sizes—I know that my wife has received a really nice one from them and yet she has a hard time finding others in a size that fits her.  So, you’ll want to check the sizes, but I think that most of you will find that you will find a skirt that will flatter you as well as make you stylish and modest.

No one wants a free skirt?

I need at least ten entries into the contest to hold it—and in previous months we’ve beaten 50!

Again, all you have to do is comment on

Most of you thought that the 3rd reason I always think of May as, “my month,” has something to do with my fiance, but notice how I said “always?” This fact doesn’t actually have to do with a specific event.

And remember my original hint–I share this reason with one of my favorite classic authors. Can you recognize her by this quote?

“You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.”

IMPORTANT: Do not comment on this post with your answer. You must comment on the giveaway post with your guess and the skirt you’d like to win from New Creation Apparel.

I feel like the guy standing in for the famous talk show host. You hear his voice, and think, “What? That is NOT the person who’s supposed to be talking right now…”

Well, MIn is swamped right now, so he asked me to take on the May giveaway. It’s my first one on ITM, so I’m slightly nervous, but I’d rather have May than any other month. May is my month.

My fiance comes home from college this May.

I turn 18 on the 18^th this May.

And May 18^th also marks one month until my wedding!

There’s one more reason why I have always thought of May as my month. Give me your best guess in the comments below to enter the May NCA giveaway…but first, pop over to NCA and pick your favorite skirt so you can put that in your comment as well.

The rules:

~One guess per email address.

~In the same comment, let me know which skirt you’d like to win.

Have fun, everybody! The giveaway closes next Monday, May 9^th.

Hannah

Hint: I share this reason with a favorite author.

For someone who prefers a straight/slightly tapered skirt, I think this one is definitely a winner. It has the versatility of denim, with flounces at the hem to dress it up. Very nice, neat, and handy. Why is it that the name makes me want to find a box of cereal?

We’ve only had two entries so far, and they have two different answers.  So, unless you try today, it’s possible that someone may not win the March Giveaway!

And it’s so easy.  The instructions are here.

Basically, use the site to figure out how many skirts we’ve given away, and send us an e-mail using the Contact Form with the correct total.  I’ll randomly draw from those that are correct.

What are you waiting for?

Whew!  It seems like I’m all tired out from the last giveaway that I don’t know where this month is gone to.

But it is that time again—time for a giveaway, and to get this site up and running again.

For this giveaway, we’re going back to the totally random style that we’ve done before, with a twist.

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to figure out how many NCA skirts we’ve given away through this site and use the contact form to let me know.

1. Find out how many skirts we’ve given away.
2. Use the Contact Form to let me know.
3. I will randomly select one from those that have the correct answer.

Only the first e-mail that I receive from an e-mail address counts, so make sure you have your “final answer”!
