Girls in the Sisterhood!
Congrats to Kathleen for her fun title suggestion for our culture column dealing with music, movies and youth culture. Her title was Encyclomedia. We decided to go with something a little less trendy: Media Matters, but we still love her suggestion. Kathleen, email me with your mailing address so I can send you the Bible you've won!

Sisterhood, it's getting closer and closer to the launch date of our first issue! YAHOO!
I just finished putting together the May issue this week, and you're gonna love it.
Lots of fun.
Lots of spiritual encouragement.
Lots of answers to your questions about skin care, your period, family, broken hearts and more!
Anybody know who Cody Linley is?
He plays Miley's on-screen boyfriend, Jake Ryan.
We have an interview with him talking about his relationship with Christ!
It's a great issue!

Will you do me a favor? Try to get five of your friends to sign up THIS WEEK!
Every single girl who can get FIVE friends to sign up, will get this fun fiction book pictured here. (You'll need to send me each of their names and addresses so I can check and make sure their subscriptions came through.) 
How long do you have?
Contest is over on April 2!
So get going. I know you have even MORE than five friends.

Love you, girls!
Susie

Girls in the Sisterhood!

It's time to announce the top five winners from our recent contest. You gave tons of great names for our glamour column. And we're giving these five winners a brand-new CD of a hot new contemporary Christian artist  named Lanae Hale! You're gonna love her!

• Girlamorous by Summer H.
• Fun & Fabulous by Michelle
• Mystique by Caitlyn
• Style Spot by Ashley M., MO
• ibeauty by Meg

The above five girls need to email me with your addresses so I can get your prize to you! (susieshell@comcast.net)

The actual name we've decided to use for the glamour column wasn't submitted. After going through all the fantastic names that were given, they helped us spark another title: Stylin'

So that's it. That's what we're calling your new glamour column. And it's being written by fashion and beauty expert: Shari Braendel. She travels all over the nation doing "What Not To Wear" seminars that are totally fun! She's also part of an amazing ministry called Proverbs 31. You're gonna love her sense of humor and her expertise on how to look your best!

OK.
Ready for the next contest
We need your creative ideas on our column formerly known in BRIO as "High Voltage." This is the monthly column that answers your questions on anything media-related: Artists, CDs, movies . . . anything related to teen culture. 

So go ahead.
Give us your best titles.
The winner gets this cool Bible we've pictured at the top of the page.

And girls, if you haven't told your friends about SUSIE mag yet, what are you waiting for? The first issue debuts in May! Remember, this is a real printed magazine that will actually come to your HOME. We'll also have a Web site with amazing interactive stuff so that once you've joined the sisterhood, you'll be able to communicate with other girls in the sisterhood. In fact, there'll be a special online section only for girls in the sisterhood!

But back to the printed mag: To ensure you (and your gal pals) get the very first issue, we need your subscription in NOW. You can subscribe with a credit card through susiemag.com (Rough Web will be up by March 2) or you can send a check for $23 (one year--12 issues) to:

Susie Shellenberger Ministries
3741 Bloomington Street #4
Colorado Springs, CO 80922 

Hey, Girls! I'm so excited about this new venture that I can hardly sleep at night! Do you realize you're getting in on the ground floor of creating the world's greatest sisterhood?

I love you.

Hello sisterhood girls!

Brand-new contest! Remember the La Gamour column in BRIO? We'll also have this same column in SUSIEmag, but we want to give it a new name.

So you tell US! 
What in the world should we call it?

It will take your questions on skin care, fashion, beauty products, etc. 

Go ahead and start submitting as many names for this column as you want! We'll have FIVE winners. (But we'll only choose one title!)

Not telling what the prizes are yet, but you KNOW it's gonna be good! Just look at the cool stuff we've given away so far right here!

Love you!
