Thanks to blog friend, WilyBCool at http://tomoveforwardlive.blogspot.com/ for this award. Please check out his wonderful blog because as his name suggests it is cool. His posts are thoughtful and helpful to all mortals stumbling their way through this life.
The word: liebster is German and means dearest, so I consider this quite a compliment! This award is given to up and coming bloggers with under 200 followers.
The rules associated with winning this award are simple.
1. Be sure to link back to the person giving you the award and thank them for their kindness.
2. List 5 of your favorite blogs with under 200 followers. Be sure to let the 5 you list know by leaving a comment about it on their blog.
3. Post the award on your own blog. It's no fun to have the award otherwise.
4. Enjoy the love and support from your blog friends.
Here's my top 5 picks. Drum roll, please!
1. My top pick is The Wednesday Baker. Please take a look at it. I guarantee it will make you hungry, but please don't drool. Give some of her wonderful recipes a try. Visit her at http://thewednesdaybaker.blogspot.com/.
2. Next on my list is Indigo Twin. Their blog showcases their artistic talents. As the name of their blog suggests, they are identical twins and they do fantastic folk art pieces. Take a look and I'll bet you'll want to buy something! Visit their blog at http://indigotwin.blogspot.com/.
3.This blog is a favorite of mine for many reasons. The photos are beautiful, the writing is excellent and the blogger just so happens to be my lovely daughter. You can enjoy her blog at http://serena-castingpearls.blogspot.com/.
4. I love Bea's blog. She's a great writer and has a new book coming out soon. Watch the trailer and buy the book. Take a look at http://skippingstonememories.blogspot.com/.
5. Check out this blog. I really like it, especially Tina Gayle's infectious smile and her writing style. Visit her at http://tinagayle.blogspot.com/.
I hope you will take the time to visit each of these blogs and choose to follow them. I know you'll like what you see.
Thanks again, Wily, dearest!
Thanks to Casting Pearls for nominating me for this award! You are a sweetheart!
I actually do try to be somewhat versatile in my posts. If you look the blog over closely, you will see poems, short stories, photos, recipes, and even posts from my Britanny, Magnum.
The rules associated with being nominated for this award are simple. First, thank the person who nominated you (profusely, if it makes you happy or would make the other party even happier). Second, you must tell 7 things about yourself ( this can be anything, even your bra or shoe size. I wouldn't mention those, but you may, if you wish). Lastly, you must nominate 15 other newly discovered bloggers ( I don't think that means that they must be new at blogging, but new to you.) and be sure to let them know. It isn't any fun, if they remain clueless!
Here's my 7 things.
1. I am a new author with my first book: The Kriterion Saga: The World Between due out soon. I have another in the works, too.
2. I am fearless, almost. Don't tell anyone, but I fear and detest rodents!
3. If I like a certain article of clothing, I wear it over and over again until everyone around me hates it and it is nothing but a rag.
4. Keen sandals are my shoes of choice. They are great all-purpose shoes and I wear them almost everywhere. I do take them off when I'm showering and sleeping.
5. When I am really mad, I scream double damn! That's about as bad as it gets with me and cussing.
6. I hate most new TV shows. I like old stuff such as: Gunsmoke, The Three Stooges, Lucy, and old John Wayne movies ( who doesn't love John Wayne for crying out loud?).
7. I hate cleaning out my refrigerator!
