◦Put the logo on your blog in your post.
◦Pass the award onto 12 bloggers.

3. Liz Czukas at Liz Czucas4. Karen Harrington at Scobberlotch
5. Elana Johnson at Elana Johnson6. Shannon Messenger at Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe(Hey, did you notice I cheated? Shh...I didn't give out 12 awards. Don't tell, okay?)

Sharon over at Random Thoughts gave me the Creative Writer Award. Thanks Sharon!



I am passing on the Creative Writer Award to
Amber J. at Perpetual Ramblings
and Diane Estrella at Diane Estrella

Danyelle over at Myth-Takes, Constance Phillips at Constance Phillips, A Writer's Musings, and Sharon Mayhew at Random Thoughts gave me the "Creative Writer" Blog Award. Thanks Danyelle, Connie, and Sharon!



The rules:

1. Thank the person who gave this to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you.
4. Tell up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth.
5. Nominate up to seven "Creative Writers" who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.
6. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.

Lies and truths. Hmm...
1. I love spiders. We had a black widow on our front porch, and I refused to allow my husband to kill it.
2. I once sang "Strangers in the Night" on a Karoake machine in a mall in Guadalajara, Mexico.
3. This gal was born to play sports. Name the team sport--volleyball, basketball, softball--I'm awesome at them all!
4. I'm terrified of open water and would never swim in the ocean unless it was close to shore.
5. I had a pet snake named "Sammy" when I was very young.
6. Here are a few events I adore--a rodeo, a tractor pull, any re-enactment of early American history, a logger's show, a free concert in the park, and a county fair.
7. If I could choose another career, it would hands-down be a nurse. Blood doesn't make me pass out at all.

(There are two truth statements. Number 2 and number 6. We did have a black widow spider on our porch, and my husband and hero killed it for me. I'm horrible at sports, don't mind open water, would never have a pet snake, and am a giant baby around blood!)

Here are the nominees for the Creative Writer Blogger award:

1. Jo Treggiari at The Curious Misadventures of Jo Treggiari
2. Karin Beery at There Has to be a Beginning

The final award comes from my good friend Tracy Madison, author of A Taste of Magic, A Breath of Magic, and A Stroke of Magic. It's the Circle of Friends Blog award.


I'm passing the Circle of Friends Award to
1. Danyelle Leafty at Danyelle Leafty, formerly Myth-Takes.
2. Sharon Mayhew at Random Thoughts

and my awesome critique partners:
3. Wendy P. Miller at All in a Day's Thought
4. Terri Tiffany at Terri Tiffany: Inspirational Writer
5. Cindy R. Wilson at Cindy R. Wilson

Thank you all for stopping by! Be sure to come back on Friday to check in and set goals for next week!

  17. Jill--Thanks so much for the award...you're so sweet! I was sure you wouldn't let your husband kill the spider. :( I had a black widow on my porch when I was pregnant and in our first (purchased) home. My husband was out of town and I was terrified. I called a friend who is now our daughter's Godfather and he came and umm fixed the problem for me. I feel kind of bad about it, but I was one paranoid pregnant woman back then.
