Holy Back Flippin Cow!

I'm one follower away from 100! Wahoo! So here's the deal, whoever becomes my lucky 100th follower gets a prize. Something very fun and good and perfect. Okay? Alright, so I was going to keep it a secret, but I have a couple more of my yummy delicious British candy bars left, so I'll give one of them away... I wonder who the lucky person will be. Hmm..?

Whoever you are, remember to leave your email addy in the message box, and I'll be emailing you to get your address.

On to news...

First off, the winner(s) of my Twilight Ball theme are (yes there are two--)

Candice Kennington--For the fabulous idea of making it a masked ball! LOVE IT!

AND

Nikki Wilson--For the "secret" theme idea. DOUBLE LOVE IT!

Thanks to you girls (and everyone else who participated) I know this launch party is going to rock! I can't wait!!!

By the way, you both get the promised, coveted amazing GALAXY chocolate bar!!!

Also, I wanted to do a little shoutout for the Casual Blogger Conference I'll be speaking at in May.

Look See! <--If you click on the link and scroll down, you'll find me! At the bottom of the page, you can find a form where they're still accepting speakers. If anyone would like to join the conference, fill out a form and see what they say! It looks like it'll be a blast.

I'm Speaking at the CBC!

Thanks to the BEAUTIFUL Kelly Lyman, I've won an award! The Happy 101 Award. Super cute, isn't it? I get to list 10 things that make me happy, and then give the award to 10 blogs that brighten my day!


1. My 3 girls & 3 boys (every day they fill my life with adventure and laughter)

2. The new baby on the way! Wahoo! So happy about this one!

3. My wonderful husband, without his love & support I wouldn't be able to do anything I do. He truly is amazing!

4. Bubble baths. (wouldn't be able to live without them!)

5. My laptop. It keeps me connected anywhere I go. (yes, I'm addicted.)

6. All of the awesome people I've met through blogging and my journey as an author. So many people touch my life daily!

7. Valor Publishing, truly the most wonderfully supportive publisher in the world. I mean it. If you write clean, compelling books, submit to them before you do anything else. They are simply the best.

8. SNOW! I've never lived around or seen so much snow in my life! It's wonderful!

9. The ability to co-author a book. I've got to do it twice now, once with the stunning Kasie West who I met online (stay tuned, we have more books planned!), and also, with a great friend, that I met online who lives in England (Ours is a Work In Progress at the moment).

10. Being back in the USA makes me very happy. I enjoyed living 9 years in Europe, but it is wonderful to be back home.



So without further ado, I give you the blogs that make me happy--Well, they all do--so I'll give you blogs you may not have stumbled across before. So stop on by and say, howdy!

  8. A couple of days ago, I found your blog. I noticed it had 98 followers. Silly me, I wanted to be number 100, instead of 99, so I held off. I planned to come back in time to be number 100, but I just missed it. Oh well. I'm here to stay now.

    Congrats on your 3-digits.
