… Getting Noticed … posted on December 6, 2011 … Please keep in mind I was just beginning to blog at this point, so I didn’t have a clue as to what I was doing, there are times, I am still feeling my way along. However, practice makes perfect … slowly, but surely, I’m getting there!

In addition, the award should pass to 7 nominees (per award, I’m sure). I realize I am cheating here in naming only 7 nominees since, I should be posting 21. After all, 3 people nominated me, but it is a time thing. If you would like a 7 x 7 award and your name is not on this list, then please copy my links, with my blessings, and pass the good fortune along.

My SEVEN Nominees are:

1.) The perfectly imperfect one @ I am Perfectly Imperfect

2.) 7th Heaven @ Manipal’s Photo Blog

3.) Alan Sexton @ Green Mountain Scribes

4.) Jackie Paulson @ postadaychallenge2011

5.) Arkenaten @ Arkenaten’s Blog

6.) Andrea @ Only Dreaming

7.) Andrew @ Influencevscontrol

Slowly, but surely, I am managing to get some of my awards posted. Lately, I’ve been trying to get my second book polished and published, which I finally did (in printed format anyway). Before I work on the e-book version though, I wanted to acknowledge the generosity of some of my fellow bloggers. Even though I’ve not posted these awards sooner, it does not mean I am any less grateful to those who chose to elect me. For this award: The Kreative Blogger Award, my thanks go to both Judee @ a round tuit and Vivian @ Positive Parental Participation. I am flattered that both of you ladies thought of me.

These are the rules:

You must thank the person who has given you the award.
Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
Link the person who has nominated you for the award.
Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
Nominate 7 other Kreative Bloggers.
Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
Leave a comment on each of the blogs to let them know they have been nominated.

So… Seven things about me:
