When it rains, it floods!

The awards are rampant. I got a few more...I apologize for the lengthiness in advance...
Awards make me happy because it gives me the opportunity to think of a fun way to share them and I get to pass them on to you all!

Two more Kreativs from
Jaycee and Ermie - Thanks, girlfriends!

And this new one, Fabulous!
from my spontaneous friend, Cassie - never know what she will say next, but it's usually hilarious!



And Amy, YA book reviewer extraordinairre, gave me the Stylish! Boop Boop Bee Doo!

To accept, I shall first answer the questions that came with them:

Kreativ Questions:
What's you're favorite song? for the moment, Everybody Talks by Neon Trees... It started with a whisper...
What's your favorite dessert? Toss up between chocolate chip cookies and brownies, yum! =P
Which do you prefer:  White or Whole Wheat? whole wheat, trying to be healthier
What do you do when you're upset?  Depends on how upset I am. Ranges anywhere from snark to temper tantrum (rare, but true. I am a Scorpio after all)
What is your favourite pet? Dogs. Obedient, loyal, unconditional love =)
What is your biggest fear? the economy crashing around our ears and people going insane and killing each other. seriously!
What is your attitude, mostly? I try to be positive, but every day is a battle! Why do little annoying things seem to outweigh the little nice things? Not to mention the big things! I try to remember how blessed my family is...

Fabulous Rules:

• Post the rules on your blog. (check)
• Name five of your most fabulous moments, either in real life or in the blogosphere. 
• some people say when their kid is born, I say when all three were potty trained! Yes!
• getting more than a handful of comments for the first time
• making it through the first round of American Idol at Disney World!
• having fun with friends, lots of treasured fabulous moments there
• getting my book published (that's a future fab moment =)

• Name five things you love.
• God
• my family (including parents, sister, etc!)
• my friends
• coffee

• my degrading memory

• Pass the Ribbon on to five other bloggers (see below)

And the info about me will be what I learned at the Reader/Writer Get Together!

1. Writers are friendly! It's not a competition, there's room for everyone on the shelves!
2. Romance writers are...let's say uninhibited and leave it at that.
3. There is such a thing as too much chest - there was an abundance of male chests on the covers of the books, not in person! it wasn't that kind of conference! But really!
4. Authors know how to dress the part - rabbit ears, frog hat, Victorian, high, high heels, and lots of pretty and unique necklaces and sandals!
5. You need to have a business card. I was so glad I made some cause I traded a bunch. It was fun!
6. Always be prepared for double entendre and "that's what she said."
7. The latest audience is NA - New Adult, for college age and twenties. Maybe I will dust off that chick lit novel!
8. Publishing tips: 
• be flexible and don't have your heart set on one format, be open to all the many wonderful ways you can put your book out there!
• book trailers aren't for everyone, best for created worlds to share your vision
• end your book, but leave it open for related books - listen to your fans (fans, ha! love that!)

And I'm not stylish, but I will leave you with a picture of my fanciest shoes and match them to the bloggers I am presenting these Kreative, Fabulous, Stylish awards to! (take whichever award you like!)
