November Blessings

I hope you had a great weekend! My weekend included a double blessing. 

I received a blog award from two wonderful bloggers. 

Saloma Furlong from About Amish and Linda Maendel of Hutt-Write Voice

have blessed me with the Tell Me About Yourself Award!

The award guidelines are as follows:

1) Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.

2) Share 7 things about yourself.

3) Pass the award on to 15 other bloggers.

So, here goes:

Thank you Saloma and Linda! 

I enjoy your blogs, and am honored that you passed the award to me.

Seven things about me? 

Hmm, what haven't I told you about myself? Let's see...

1) My summer job as a teen was at my Dad's shoe store.

My friends always asked if I got free shoes. Yes. But technically, Dad paid for them.

2) I've met several NHL players in person. My family and I attended

autograph sessions with Ron Hextall and Garth Snow, to name a few.

3) I had to transfer from one high school to another in my senior year.

We moved about 20 minutes from my childhood home.

It wasn't in the same school district, so I had to leave the friends I'd had 

since kindergarten. I was not happy. But I got over it.

4) My favorite beverage at Starbucks is a tall Green Tea Frappuccino.

So if we ever meet there, I'll probably order that.

5) One of my all time favorite authors is Lucy Maud Montgomery.

6) One of my favorite books by L.M. Montgomery is The Blue Castle. 

 

I think it would make a great movie.

7) I love Williamsburg, VA. My husband and I went there on our honeymoon.

I'm passing the award along to:

All of you! 

I decided that I do not want to choose. You all have been 

wonderful friends, and I appreciate your support so much.

Thank you, and enjoy the award!

What November blessings are you enjoying?

Happy writing,

Karen

Loyal Friend Award

I was recently blessed with the Loyal Friend and Visitor Award! How exciting is that?

Maria Morgan of Life Lessons sent this blessing my way. I am humbled, greatly appreciative, and blessed to receive this honor. I now get to pass this award along to fellow bloggers, and I have chosen these three faithful blogging friends.

Carol Alexander of Everything Home...with Carol has a wonderful blog. A sweet and regular visitor to my blog, Carol writes about farm life, homeschooling her children, and lots of other insightful and spiritual goodies.

Some of you are already acquainted with Susan J. Reinhardt of Christian Writer/Reader Connection. Susan is my go-to gal for blogging questions; much of what I've learned about blogging I've gleaned from her. Susan is an all around faithful peach of a friend. Her blog never fails to bless, inform, and challenge me.

Following My King's Cecelia Lester, also known as Quiet Spirit, is another gem of a friend. Her blog encourages and provides much food for thought. Cecelia was one of my first followers, for which I will be ever grateful. She has also been one of the talented and brave ones who has allowed me to publish her version of one of the writing prompts on my blog.

My heartfelt thanks goes to each of these wonderful ladies mentioned, and also to all my other readers. You are all treasured friends, and I count you among my richest blessings!

Happy writing:)
