First, the Kreativ Blogger Award. Thanks so much to The Lost Wanderer and Erica from Laugh. Write. Play. for passing this one on to me! Here areThe Rules:
1. Copy the Kreativ Blogger picture and post it on your page.
2. Thank the person that gave the award to you and link back to their blog.
3. Write 7 things about you that we don't know.
4. Choose 7 other bloggers that you would like to give the award to.
5. Link to the bloggers that you chose.
6. Let your winners know that they have the lovely award!
So...Seven things you may not know about me:
1. I lived on the East Coast (Maryland) for 6 months when I was 12/13 yrs old. Visiting all the historical places while I was there is what eventually made me study for my Bachelor's in History (emphasis on Early American history).
2. I visited Paris for 2 weeks when I was in college. Amazing trip.
3. I've been to Euro-Disney, but no Disney theme parks in the states.
4. I'm really not all that fond of traveling.
5. I was homeschooled from 3rd grade through high school.
6. I have an affinity for very old first editions. I saved up for weeks in college to buy a 1st edition of Gone with the Wind once, only to find it had been sold when I finally went to purchase it. I still mourn the loss.
7. I've always wanted to own a Camero IROC-Z. Preferably in teal.
I always try to pass awards on to people who haven't yet received that particular award, though I can't be sure in the event people don't actually post awards (which is perfectly fine, of course). So here are the seven bloggers I bestow the Kreativ Blogger award on:
Jason A. Myers
Ieva Melgalve
Adam – Editing Hat.
Erica Vetsch - On the Write Path
Dan - The Man Who Painted Agniezka’s Shoes
Meg – Writing, Food & Life
Amy De Trempe - Timeless Romance
I could tell you great things about all of these excellent people, but I'd much rather you just clicked the links and went to see for yourself. You can't go wrong with any of them - all are very worthy recipients, in my opinion.
Secondly, Mary Ann Gruen from The Starlight Blog bestowed this award on all of her follow
ers, as did the original creator.I have 41 followers...which is a lot more than I ever thought I'd have! And I appreciate each and every one of you, plus all of those who subscribe in some other way or even just pop in to visit once in awhile. In the tradition of this award, I bestow this on you all - you make my blogging experience all the sweeter whether you comment or not.
I would love to list everyone out, as others have been doing, but frankly, I simply don't have the time. And it seems redundant when I have that nifty little followers box there on the left side of the page. I would encourage all of you to go over there when you have a few minutes, and randomly click on a photo, then check out the blog linked there. Do that several times, and I bet you'll discover some fabulous new blog buddies to add to your circle!
Thanks again to Lost Wanderer, Erica and Mary Ann for the lovely awards!

You are very welcome! I'll have to check out those :) And thanks for the cool cupcake thingy!
Interesting stuff there in your 7 things... Sorry about the Gone with the Wind book... Total bummer- one will be yours someday- just keep looking ;)
Wow, congrats on your awards! Great list.
Jamie, lovely post. I found your seven things very interesting. Homeschooling. How did you find that? Must say, I can't imagine it. I loved all my schools, that if I could go back and go to school again, I would love to do it.
Oh and the first edition thing is so cool. Good luck with those. At least you will have the first edition of your own book, and that's precious than Scarlet O'Hara any day :)
Cupcake thing is so sweet.
Thanks ladies. :-)
LW, I adored homeschooling. For my temperament and very independent learning style, it was perfect. I was always bored in grade school, things just moved too slow for me, and homeschooling allowed me to work at my own pace. It was also great only having to study for as long as it took to get my assignments done - then I had the rest of the day to read or, when I was older, work. College was pretty easy from the first, because I was used to studying in that manner.
It's not for everyone - my sister probably would have done better in a traditional school. For me though, it was great. I loved it. :-)
Doesn't that cupcake just make you all hungry? Mmmm...cupcakes...
