The winners of signed hardback copies of Judy's books are...Angela and Vicki. Congratulations, Ladies! Please email your addresses to: skmayh at q dot com. I hope you enjoy the ALL THE NUMBERS as much as I did. If you didn't win, please order a copy today....
I am so bad at posting awards...It's not that I don't appreciate them because I really do. It makes me feel wonderful, like my words and photographs matter to you.
Shannon O'Donnell gave me this lovely award. Shannon is an inspiration to all of us. I don't think I've ever seen a blog without one of her comments in the comments section. She ROCKS!
I'd like to pass this award along to:
Jackee and Jill who have really inspired me set goals and to work harder. If you haven't met them yet, go check them out...be prepared to be inspired.
Amy is one beautiful person and puts up some lovely blog posts....I've had the privilege of reading some of her work and it is AWESOME!
Carolina just did the funniest, heart wrenching vlog (I think that's what they are called)...You've got to check it out! Seriously, I mean it!
This adorable award was presented to my by action and suspense author Stephen Tremp. If you haven't met Stephen he's one smart cookie and you should check him out.
I'd like to pass this award along to several awesome bloggers:
Lenny is an awesome blogger for sure! He is bright and witty and a sweetie on top of all of that.
Sierra is a lovely young woman that shares bits of her life with us. She talks about fashion, travel, pop culture and pretty soon she's getting her own pad!
Brian is one of my newest friends. He helps me a little bit every day since Stripes died. He's one cool cat!
This award was presented to me by one of my blog idols, Buffy Andrews. Buffy is an assisting managing editor to a variety of publications on the East Coast. She has a beautiful "voice" and is an even more beautiful friend. Buffy is one of the founders of The Inkwell, an awesome (free) writing community, that covers picture books to young adults. If you haven't been there please go and join. (I am the moderator on one of the forums and would love to see you guys over there!)
I'd like to pass this award along to a few bloggers that I think have beautiful "voices."
Sharon McPherson is an awesome (adult fiction) writer from Scotland. Her blog is a riot! So check it out if you want to be immersed in her dating life and Scottish culture.
Donna Aviles is has written a series of books about her grandfather and his adventures on the Orphan Train. Her writing is exceptional!
Hema has one of the deepest blogs. Her discussions are thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking. I recently had the privilege of reading a bit of her work....(Nice stuff!)
I don't usually do the "this is what I did today" thing , but today my daughter and I did something and it's going to affect all of you. I'm only 823 people away from having a 1,000 followers! Can you believe it? I can't, so I've been thinking of what I could do to celebrate when I'm only 800 followers away from 1,000. My daughter (now a high school freshman) and I decided to have a Really Random Prize Give-A-Way...one of EPIC proportion! It's going to be sooooo (I could add more o's) much fun for you, me and a committee of judges....That's all I'm saying for now. (wink wink)
Have a great weekend!
