Versatile Blog Award!

Thanks to the loveable writers over at Limebird Writers http://limebirdwriters.wordpress.com I have been  nominated for the Versatile Blog Award!

Now I get to pass it on! But first I have to follow some rules. I love rules. So, I am right in my element here.

1. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post. Yup. See above.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.  Yup. See below.

3. Pass this award along to 15 blogs you enjoy reading. Yup. See farther below.

4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award. Yup. Can’t you hear all the hoots and hollers?

Okay, 7 things about myself:

I am left-handed.

My hero is Walt Disney.

I used to own two cats named Garlic and Kahlua.

I can name all the United States Presidents by heart–in sequential order.

My favorite drink is a Harpoon IPA.

I can make a mean dessert.

I collect bird feathers.

     Now for the passing on of the award:

  1. http://alboudreau.wordpress.com/ A great self-published author (and a wonderful human being). Al is a master in the social media arena and routinely goes out of his way to help other writers market their work.
  2. http://kidsmakeitwrite.wordpress.com/ As a writing coach and a facilitator of creative writing programs for children, I refer to this site regularly. Great info here.
  3. http://learningfromdogs.com/ This title says it all! If you love dogs, this is a must-visit!
  4. http://wolfdefender.wordpress.com/ Josh Alexander started Wolf Defender to “draw awareness to all of the unjust actions that are being taken against wolves in the United States [and] to hopefully educate the willing on the true nature of these great animals.” He had me at Wolf Defender.

And this might seem unfair because number 5 is for Josh Alexander again but regarding his amazing photography on nature and wildlife.
