Sneaking in a Tuesday post here, because I was blessed with a few blogger awards and wanted to pass them on.

Lynn at Place to Create
and Kristen Torres-Toro at Write in the Way

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

Awards! Yee-haw!
It's awards season. The Oscars are coming (I didn't miss them, did I?) and the Olympics are in full swing; both honor the best of the best. I figured it's also time for me to pass on the awards I've been given the last few months. I am truly sorry this has taken me so long. What can I say? I messed up. I owe everyone Cadbury Mini-Eggs! Aren't those little chocolates delightful??
Okay, I got sidetracked by tantalizing thoughts of mini-eggs. Back on track...
Tamika, over at The Write Worship, gave me this "fabulous" award! I love the design and the thought behind it. Thank you very much!
I'm passing the "Your Blog is Fabulous Award" to:
Stephanie Faris at Steph in the City for her fabulous, intriguing posts.
Maryse, aka Wifsie, at BluAmaryllis for the grace with which she explains life.
and Robyn Campbell at Putting Pen to Paper for always putting her heart out for others.
The next award comes from Cindy at Cindy R. Wilson. It's the "Happy 101 Award," and that's how Cindy makes me! Thanks, Cindy!
I'm passing the "Happy 101 Award" to three bloggers who always make me happy.
Lisa and Laura Roecker at Lisa and Laura Write. They crack me up on a daily basis!
Tess Hilmo at Tess Hilmo. Wicked sense of humor and always posts helpful tips.
Georgiana Daniels at Georgiana Daniels. Love her honest and relatable posts.
Jennifer Shirk at Me, My Muse and I gave the "Helpful Blogger Award" to me. This one has rules.
1. Post one thing no one knows about me.
2. Quote one sentence from a favorite book.
3. Pass it on to seven bloggers.
1. I don't think there is one thing NO ONE knows about me. Hmm... Well, here's a possible one. When I was about ten, I fell in love with Noel Streatfeild's "Shoe" series of books. After reading "Skating Shoes," I attempted to ice skate in our frozen corn-field. I actually did a few figure eights, but corn stalks poked up through the ice, and let's just say, I didn't attempt skating again for a long, long time!
2. Mary Wibberley's Man of Power is one of my all-time favorite books. It's a Harlequin Romance written in 1980. Here's why I love it:
"Well!" she gasped. "You take the biscuit! You're aggressive, bossy, and you have the nerve to tell me I'm prickly! There's nothing wrong with me, chum. Nothing at all!"
He began to laugh--deep, amused, his face transformed. Sara whirled away from him, incensed. "Don't laugh at me!" she yelled, and looked for something to throw at him--but he came after her, caught her, and pulled her around.
Seriously, is that not delicious dialogue? And who says "take the biscuit" or "chum"?? I love it!
3. Here are the seven helpful bloggers I'm passing the "Helpful Blogger Award" to:
Susan J. Reinhardt at Christian Writer/Reader Connection
Maria Morgan at Life Lessons
Kristen Torres-Toro at Write in the Way
Brittany Laneaux at A Penny For My Thoughts
Patti Lacy at Patti Lacy
Melinda Marie at CMOM Productions
T. Anne at White Platonic Dreams
The next award comes from the lovely and gracious Stephanie over at Steph in the City.
Here are the rules:
1. Post where you would like to be in 10 years.
2. Pass it on to 10 other special Bloggers!
Easy!!
1. I know exactly where I want to be in ten years: in a room with all of you fabulous bloggers. We're chatting about the amazing journey we've all taken. Of course, we're signing our books and passing them around. I'm dying to read all of your work.
Did I mention we're in Paris? Yeah, we are. And we are having the weekend of our life! It's all about us, and we're sharing the struggles we overcame to make it in the publishing business, but most of all, we are celebrating.
Here's a toast to the future and a toast to all of us!
The ten terrific blogs I'm passing the "You're Going Places Award" on are:
Paul Greci at North Writer
Jeanette Levellie at Audience of One
Jennifer J. Bennett at Jennifer J. Bennett
Jaime Wright Sundsmo at The Jaime Reports
Sherrinda at A Writer Wannabe
Tabitha Bird at Through My Eyes
Krista Phillips at Krista's ReflectionsAngie Muresan at Angie Muresan
Natalie Bahm at Natalie Bahm
Beth at This Mommy's Life
I literally could have passed awards on to thirty other blogs, but I'm sure you get tired of me talking about them! And for any of you who received an award but do not wish to accept it, that's okay. My goal is always to highlight fantastic blogs for those who might not be familiar with them yet.
Thank you all for sharing and making the blogosphere a welcoming place to be!

We Interrupt This Blog Schedule...
It's Tuesday, and I'm posting? Yes!
I've recently recieved two blog awards and I want to share them. One of the things I love about blogging is that when I get new followers, I find new blogs. If you're a follower and I haven't stopped by your blog, please leave your blog's URL in the comments and I will remedy that!
Steph, at Steph in the City, bestowed the Best Blog Award to my blog. Thank you Steph! If you haven't checked out her site, go over for an eclectic mix of thought provoking posts. And let's all give a round of applause for Steph; she recently landed an agent! Congratulations!
(If you are a recipient, please do not feel obligated to pass on any award I share. My sincere hope in presenting these awards is to spotlight terrific blogs, not to put added pressure on anyone.)
I'm giving the Best Blog Award to:
Romance Writers on the Journey Keli Gwyn interviews unpublished and published authors on this blog, and she is such a giving, talented woman. Her interviews are always unique.
All in a Day's Thought Wendy's blog asks tough questions, gives thoughtful insight, and has the most beautiful pictures.
Cindy R. Wilson Cindy's posts on Wednesdays, "Excerpt or Action," always whet my appetite for more.
Terri Tiffany Inspirational Writer Terri's posts are honest yet hopeful. Her optimism truly inspires.
Author, Jody Hedlund Jody's blog was the first I ever followed. This year has been a whirlwind for her. She landed an agent and a three book deal with Bethany House. Her posts over the past months offer an insider's look at a new author's publishing process. Fascinating!
Moving on... Maria, at Life Lessons, gave me the Inspirational Blog Award. Thank you Maria! Maria writes comforting, devotional posts that always leave me feeling rested and hopeful. If you haven't been to her site, hop on over.
I'm passing this award on to the following:
In Truer Ink Niki Turner writes with candor about issues many of us struggle with, and she manages to refresh my spirits with each post.
Regina Rhythm Regina offers savvy advice on writing and Internet-related promotion. I enjoy her smart posts.
Whole Latte Life Stopping by Joanne's blog is like wrapping up in a soft throw and curling up on the couch. It's restful. Try it.
Something She Wrote Janna's blog is another gem. She has a melodious, smart, mellow way of writing that I'm drawn to. Her blog never lets me down.
Through My Eyes I never know what I'm going to get when I stop by Tabitha Bird's blog. A poem, a terrific picture, or a fascinating snippet of her life--all leave me with a warm heart.
Thanks again for the awards, and if any of these blogs are new to you, go on--try them out!
