These months sure roll by quickly. It seems only a few days ago I was announcing the August contest and now it’s time to announce the winner. Since my grandson, Sebastian, did such an excellent job of choosing a winning entry last month, I called on his services again. This time he insisted his rubber lizard help him. I am proud to announce that the lucky winner of a signed copy of The Ride is Michelle Miller from The Book Addict blog for a comment left on August 10th. Congratulations, Michelle!Shortly before last week’s vacation, Helen Ginger awarded me The B-I-N-G-O Beautiful Blog
Award. What a pleasant surprise to read her post and discover my name and blog by the O for “Outstanding.” Thanks, Helen. Be sure to stop by her blog, Straight from Hel, for valuable advice and information on writing and publishing.I find passing along these awards is getting harder to do because many of the sites I visit already have won every award imaginable. So I’ll repeat my caveat from a previous blog: I’m naming recipients, but I will leave it up to them on whether or not they choose to pass it on. If I’ve named someone who has already received the award, well…give yourself a pat on the back, you obviously deserve it.
B: Beautiful: Patricia of Patricia Stoltey's Blog
I: Informative: Kelly of Author Kelly Moran Blog
N: Neighborly: Morgan of Double M's take on books, blogs, dogs, networking and life
G: Gorgeous: Julie of Julie Lomoe's Musings Mysterioso
O: Outstanding: Gretchen Rubin of the Happiness Project
Shortly upon returning from my trip, I received The Honest Scrap Award from Carol Kilgore of the Under the Tiki Hut blog. Thank you, Carol.The following is a quote from Carol’s blog: “The award rules are simple - pass the award to seven worthy bloggers who post from the heart, and list ten honest things about yourself.”
Trying to think of ten things about myself that wouldn’t put a reader to sleep is not as easy as it sounds. I decided you were all busy people and could probably use a quick snooze so here goes.
1. I love being a grandmother
2. I find it impossible to keep my writing space tidy
3. I’m an introvert
4. I love movie theater popcorn
5. Though I am about as flexible as a steel rod, I enjoy going to Yoga classes
6. My favorite wine comes out of a box
7. Creepy crawly things terrify me
8. I dislike onions
9. I don’t go often, but I do enjoy kayaking
10. Making lists like this and passing on awards drives me a just little bit crazy
Whew! I did it. Now here are the seven bloggers I've chosen to pass this award to.
Yvonne Walus: A novelist speaks on books, the universe and everything
Cindy: Cindy’s Love of Books
J. Kaye: J. Kaye’s Book Blog
Christina: Christina Rodriguez
Ann Parker: Silver Rush Mysteries
Joanne: Whole Latte Life
K.A. Laity: Wombat’s World
I hope you enjoy visiting these blogs.
