Awards Post

Hi Everyone!

I've received some beautiful awards in the last few days and weeks and I've been very lax about posting these awards. I've been sooo busy in the kids and generally not been in a blogging mood. So, I'm going to give out awards today too. It's been a wild day around here. And I'm so happy to receive Faeries Gone Wild plus I received an ARC of Vicki Pettersson's City of Souls to review. I will be hosting several contests here in the future, more information to come. (I know this is my fourth post today, but I keep coming across books and information that I want to share!) And since I haven't been blogging as much, I kind of feel guilty about not getting out here more.

Awards:

From Lea @ closetwriter, I received The Little CJ Award:




“You have to award it to two people or I will make a voodoo doll of you and stick pins in it. Was that not clear? And, if those two people do not award it to two other people, I will make voodoo dolls of them, and stick pins in them.”

I'll name the two bloggers at a later date and hope the voodoo is too bad. Yikes! I can always sick the zombies on the voodoo priestess.

Also from Lea @ closewriter, I received the Angel On My Blog Award.



Oh, mama, I'm lovin' them nekkid buns!

From Wendy @ Wendy's Minding Spot (this blog name totally rocks as does the blog, btw, and I love Eeyore!)



1) Put the Lemonade Award logo on your blog or post.
2) Nominate at least 10 blogs that show great attitude or gratitude.
3) Link to your nominees within your post.
4) Let the nominees know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5) Share the love and link to the person from whom you received your award.

And finally The Literary Blog Award



I received this award from Anna, Wendy, and so many others...I love this award best of all, it means so much to receive this award. Thank's to all my blogger buddies.

And I have two other bloggers to Thank, Cecile and Blodeuedd.

Cecile, you are so funny and sweet, I'm so glad you've joined the blogosphere. You brighten my day. Cecile has shared her awards with her blogger buddies. Ginormous Thanks for all the sweet awards and the cookies, the flowers, and the Princesses.

Blodeuedd, I love how you always make time to stop by, sometimes I have insomnia and Blodeuedd comes and chats, of course it might be 3 AM here, but it's when she has free time in the middle of her day. I've found some really cool information about a land that is so far away. Again, Blodeuedd has shared all of her awards with her blogger buddies. Gigantic Thanks Blodeuedd!

Lea, Barbara, Blanche, VFG, and Anna - thanks so much for welcoming me into little group of bloggers. I love blogging and you guys have made it so much fun. You are all so sweet and funny, you can crack me up! Lea likes to make me work and read all kinds of romance, Barbara makes me want to read historicals, VFG - the Brotherhood, Blanche - comtemps and really hot cowboys, and Anna - just wow, have you seen how many books this girl can read? I also want to give a special thanks! to Anna. Anna, your contest rocks! Thanks Anna! I also want to thank Amy, she's reads some to the best fantasy romance that has that extra little kick and some of the best recommendations! Thanks Amy!

Wendy as I said I think your blog totally rocks (I will always have a soft spot for Eeyore)!

SciFiGuy and Darque Reviews - I loves these blogs, so much info about some really great reads. If I have an urban fantasy or paranormal question, these bloggers have the answers.

HAWK - Man, you always make me think, and sometimes the rusty wheels of my ole brain just don't want to turn. Thanks Hawk for all your beautiful words! (and thanks for the Friends Award as well!)

One last thing and then I promise to stop and be good until tomorrow. I'd like to thank DeSeRt RoSe, Alaine - Queen of Happy Endings, and Teddyree - you guys rock, always have something nice to say and you're the goddesses of awards. Thanks ladies!

And thanks to all the great authors out there, without your brilliant words, I would be lost.

I'd like to share these award with all of my friends.

I've asked Tink share a little love with all my blogger buddies for making blogging so much fun!

Blog Award from Lea @ closetwriter

Hi Everyone On This Beautiful Sunday Evening!!

My sweet friend Lea has decided I need an award! Isn't she just the sweetest thing! I love that the blogging community has allowed me to join them, offering help, and making me better at what I love doing--blogging. I love blog awards!!




"This blog invests and believes in the Proximity - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this clever-written text into the body of their award."

I would like to pass this award on to a few blogs myself (Yikes--don't know if I can come up with eight though--I'm just going to name a few for now and more to come later!)

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Houston A.W. Knight

Ramblings on Romance, etc.

Another Blog Award

Just wanted to make a quick shout out to my friend Hawk over at http://houstonawknight.blogspot.com/, for giving me the fabulous 'I love your blog' award. Thank you Hawk ((hugs)), she's such a sweetie!



I also want to encourage everyone to head over to her site, and take a look at her recent blog. It shook the ole cob webs from me wee brain, now I'm exhausted, but pleasantly surprised. Such a thoughtful blog, and all I usually blog about is fluff. Could that be because my noggin is going soft, hmmm....contemplating softening of the noggin and grey matter as we speak, going into brain overload and malfunction....Oops, lost myself for a moment there! So, everyone put on your walking shoes and head over the Hawk's site, you won't regret the walk (the exercise is good for you), and the blog is fun and interesting.
