Image via WikipediaI know I said a while back that I wasn't going to be doing the blog award thing, but I did say that I would try to acknowledge them when I could. This post has been sitting here since April, when I was busy with the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. For the Christmas lull period while I'm on vacation I thought I'd preschedule this post of award acknowledgement.
And speaking of Blogging from A to Z, if you aren't following the official Blogging from A to Z Blog I hope you will check it out. Right now we are in the middle of a series of posts by past participants of the Challenge. You won't want to miss any special announcements about the Challenge so I encourage you to follow and check in every now and then. Blogging from A to Z sign-ups begin on January 30, 2012.
And Now For Some Awards:
Creative Blog Award
During the April A to Z Challenge, one of my event co-hosts, Jeffrey Beesler, passed the Creative Blog Award to me. I wanted to thank Jeffrey for this gesture and the kind words that accompanied it.
Another award from April came to me from Deidra Eden-Coppel at A Storybook World. I don't recall what the award was but I noted it in this post I started months ago. I think it had something to do with best Science Fiction blog or something like that. Sorry Deidra. But I still say thanks.
Then there was this Jiminy Cricket commenting award from Jenny Pearson at The Pearson Report. Thanks Jenny-- I try to leave as many decent comments as I can, but I'm not always so good keeping up with emails and such when I get inundated. At least I saved the email she sent me so I could acknowledge this award.I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

Congratulations on receiving all those awards. A to Z challenge was fun. Looking forward to take it again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you and your loved ones:)
I think the jiminy cricket award is the best. Somehow I think of you (however you want to take that in the most positive light!). And I love that photo from Wikipedia. It shimmers right off the computer screen!!
ReplyDeleteI see in an above comment that you're enjoying family visiting right now. My daughter and I REALLY enjoyed being with my other three children and all the grandchildren yesterday also. Families are IT.
Have a MOST wonderful last week of the Old Year.

Interesting to learn about your naming journey. I'm going to go by my initials, partly to disguise my gender in the male-dominated SF world, and partly because initials look grown up and professional to me.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee .. congratulations on the awards - you most certainly deserve them.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful festive week and here's to a very successful and happy 2012 ... cheers Hilary

Catching my breath after a whirlwind tour of northern CA. Why can't my family move to a village and live across the street from each other?
ReplyDeleteHope the Challenge if fun. I might take a look to see what the stir is all about.
Thanks.
