Even more awards?!?!

I just discovered I won three more blog awards!(Warning: I have gone picture crazy. Just thought you ought to know.)

First, I have to say a BIIIIG thank you to Melanie Stanford over at Daydreamer to Writer for giving me these awards.

She nominated me for:

I've given out the Liebster Blog award before--which can be found here--so I'm going to tackle the others. The Rules of "The Versatile Blogger" award and "The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award" are

1) Thank and link to the person who nominates you.
2) Share seven random facts about yourself.
3) Pass the award to five more blogger friends.
4) Contact and congratulate the blogs nominated.

Seven random facts? These have to be good. *Rubs hands together* Okay, let's get started. (Update: I noticed I put ten facts. I guess I got carried away (hehe). But I like the ten I have so I'm just going to leave them.)

1) When I was a child and most of my friends were playing with Barbies or playing house, I was running around pretending I was Buffy the Vampire Slayer :) (though I did like Barbies, too. Lol.)

Hehe! I love that fight

Kick his butt Buffy!

2) If I could chose to be any supernatural being, I would be a witch, hands down. I would want the bubbling cauldron, a black cloak, a flying broom, a black cat, gem-encrusted amulets, magic books, the whole enchilada! (Most people I know would think I want to be a vampire. I would surprise them with that answer.)

3) I hate folding laundry. Such a tedious job. *Rolls eyes*

4) I am OBSESSED with spiral notebooks. I love collecting them. Even the plain purple, or red, or green ones. I love decorating the covers as I'm writing in them. But I also love the pretty ones.

 5) Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. I get to participate in the YA Highway's Road Trip Wednesday. (My post this week can be found here.) Also on Wednesday at 8 and 9 o'clock America's Next Top Model comes on The CW and Restaurant: Impossible is on the Food Network at 10. It's a good day :D

6) I love how words that begin with X sound like they start with a Z, the element "Xenon" for example--which reminds me of the movie Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century or Zenon the Zequel. Or "Xenophillius Lovegood" from Harry Potter.

Does anyone remember that movie--Zenon? Or am I alone here?

7) I only write with black pens when I'm working on fiction works. If I can't find a black pen I'll write in blue, but it really irks me.

8) I'm currently in the mood to watch an amazing movie Julie and Julia. It's such an inspiring movie, and I don't believe they could have picked a better cast. (And man, do I want to learn to make some of the food from Julia Child's cookbook! That stuff just looks delicious!)

9) I really want a tattoo, I just don't know the design yet :/ I'm afraid five years from now I won't want it anymore and unless I have the money for surgery removal, it's permanent.

10) I never liked the color green much until I began writing Angel Wings. It's my main character's favorite color--she rubbed off on me. I now have a green mp3 player and want a green car. Goooo figure (lol).

 Now I'm going to award five awesome bloggers with those two awards. And they are in alphabetical order:

• April at Books 4 Juliet
• Francesca Zappia at The Lobster Tank
• Genna Sarnak at Reading, Writing, and the World of Words
• Lora Palmer over at A Writer in Bloom
• Maria Behar over at A Night's Dream of Books

You guys are all awesome! And thanks again to Melanie Stanford for the award!

Now off to tell you bloggers....

Another Award?!

I've got another award!

I think I just fainted.

And then I danced with joy!

Okay, I'm done with the GIF images now, I promise (lol). But I did win another award, all thanks to Deirdra at A Storybook World. She is a writer and illustrator who designs all art for her blog, including the award--which is gorgeous. I have been given the Fantastic Fantasy Award.

See, it's gorgeous! And it's got a fairy on it! I love fairies. (Lol) Thanks again Deirdra :D

And the Blog Award Goes To...

I won an award?!

First and foremost I have to say a big thank you Francesca Zappia over at The Lobster Tank for giving me this award, and sorry it has taken me so long to express my thanks--I cannot express how I elated I am! :D

But now...

It's my turn to give out the award! Eeep, I'm so excited!

This is why it has taken me so long to respond to the award. One of the main rules of the award is to give it to blogs with less than two hundred follows. That's been hard to find out, because, is it just me or do you have trouble getting people's followers to load? It took me days of constantly checking to load the followers boxes, but I finally got 'em! :)

The goal of the award is to spotlight up and coming bloggers who currently have less than 200 followers. The rules of the award are:

1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4. Have faith that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers.
5. And most of all - have bloggity-blog fun!


So here are my top 5 picks in alphabetical order:

1. A Fool's Golden Paradise - Taryn is writer who keeps up with upcoming books and writes great book reviews. She is also part of an editing service called Teen Eyes.
2. A Writer in Bloom - Lora is an aspiring author with great posts and an amazing book pitch--I can't wait til it's published to read it.
3. Books 4 Juliet - A girl crazy about books and coffee created this beautiful blog to discuss YA books. April will help you stay updated about upcoming books and gives great, helpful reviews. She has educated me about many novels and has influenced my decision many times about whether or not I want to read them.
4. Dystopian Divas - Love dystopian books like The Hunger Games and Divergent? Dystopian Divas offer everything dystopian. Go check them out!
5. Songs and Stories - I found this blog very recently. I find it beautiful, because of the art work and faded map background. The blog features books, music, travel, and fantastic artwork.
Now I have to go tell these people that have been awarded. Eeep!!
