Sharing Some Blog Love

I've been honored with a couple of awards recently, and it's time to share the love.

Wendy @
W.M. Morrell's Musings From Down Under honored me with the Sugar Doll Award. Isn't it pretty? The award requires me to share 10 things nobody knows about me and to pass it on. For my list of 10 things (done for honest scrap) click here.



I pass this award to a few blogs I believe deserve a truckload more followers than they currently have. I dare you (yes, Frankie and Shannon, I said DARE - I know you can't resist a good dare) all to visit these blogs and click that follower button. You'll love them as much as I do:


Jennie
@
Jennie Englund - This award was made for her. She is as "Sugar Doll" as they come. Her smile alone is worth visiting, but her posts are always a joy. Check out her post from Tuesday about her hubby. It is beautiful.

Michelle @ Beautiful Chaos - Her posts are always sincere and interesting. Plus, she has an awesome peacock header!

Mary
@
Play Off the Page - Mary's quotes of the day are one of the highlights of her blog. She is insightful, encouraging, funny, and unpredictable. What more could you hope to find in a good blog?

Catherine
@
Winged Writer - You never know what you will find on any given day, and it's always a pleasant surprise. I love the heart and the insight and the artwork to be found on her blog.

Jen
@
Woolgatherings - We all know and love Terresa of The Chocolate Chip Waffle. Jen's writing has the beauty, depth, and liquid-like fluency of Terresa's. I am always deeply moved and effected by the writing to be found here.

AND

Nisa @ Wordplay, Swordplay: The Magic of Writing honored me with the Prolific Blogger Award. The origins and story behind this award can be found here.



Here are the rules:
1. Every winner of the Prolific Blogger Award has to pass on this award to at least seven other deserving prolific bloggers. Spread some love!
2. Each Prolific Blogger must link to the blog from which he/she has received the award.
3. Every Prolific Blogger must link back to the original post, which explains the origins and motivation for the award.
4. Every Prolific Blogger must visit this post and add his/her name in the Mr. Linky, so that we all can get to know the other winners.

I pass this award to:

Karen @ Scobberlotch - You have to spend some time at this blog in order to fully appreciate its uniqueness. Karen's Wordless Wednesday's are beautiful and sentimental - I love them. Check out her post about nature vs. nurture in our writing. Fabulous!

Elana @ Elana Johnson, Author - Elana is the reigning queen of query letters and quirkiness! I see her smiling Avatar almost every time I post a comment somewhere - she's everywhere, supporting and encouraging us all.

Author, Jody Hedlund - If it has to do with the journey from MS to agent to book, Jody knows about it and blogs about it. This blog is an absolute Treasure Island of info.

Terresa @ The Chocolate Chip Waffle - I'm certain you all know about this blog. If you don't, where on earth have you been? Ha ha. To any agents who may be reading this... scoop up this woman before someone else does!

Jenn Johansson - I've been addicted to the posts on her blog since my first visit. You will be too. She recently had a great Part 1 and Part 2 set of posts about things learned from Miss Snark.

It's never easy to select only a few for the sharing of awards. I love all of you!

Thank you, again, I say, thank you. I am particularly pleased to read that I am unpredictable. That's refreshing. Wow. Now, I'm gonna have to come up with something good. 10 things nobody knows about me. That might be hard. Will ruminate while cookin' the spaghetti!

Happy Thursday,
Jen
