Awards

Creative Blogger Award

Thank you so much to, The Armchair Squid, for nominating me for the Creative Blogger Award. Humbled is the only word I can think to describe how I feel about this. To receive this award from the Squid means so much because I respect and admire his role as blogger, book and movie reviewer, group leader and friend. I’m glad to accept this award and be in his company…

Of course I should have done this about a week ago, but being on vacation has affected my blogging schedule. The rules are listed below, but I’m breaking them a little.

The rules:

  1. Thank and post the link of the person who nominated you. Done.
  2. Share 5 facts about yourself to your readers. Below.
  3. Nominate 10-20 blogs and notify them. I only did one. 🙁
  4. Pass on the rules. <-Hello.

Five Facts:

  1. I love to bake, from the box and from scratch. I’m mastered cakes and biscotti and now I’m taking on pies and other pastries.
  2. I’m a bit of a Batman fan, just a little (no really a whole lot :D).
  3. I love dog, but don’t currently have one, which is why I dog sit.
  4. I thorough enjoy watching Hockey and Opera live, not on TV.
  5. I have just enough knowledge of computer graphics to be either dangerous or annoying, but I did manage to design the covers of my paranormal book series.

My nominee:

Toya’s Tales – I nominate Toya for several reasons and the fact that I love her name isn’t one of them. Toya writes a fashion blog and packs a lot of punch into her short and visually stimulating posts. I love how she interacts with her readers and reaches out to other bloggers. I also love how she features a piece of art work each week. Most blogs I read are author or book blogs, but I like stepping outside my comfort zone from time to time to see what Toya is sharing.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

About Toi

I got fan mail. Yay! :D

I just had to share this. It made my day. 
Hello Toi
I met you and bought your book at the Comic-Con in VA Beach.
Just wanted to say I already finished it. In fact I couldn’t put it down.
I’m going to buy part 2 soon. Can’t wait.
Nice meeting you.

About Toi Question of the Month

#Question of the Month: a bloghop to think about. No. 2- 3 things you’d do w/out fear?

A little while ago, Michael D’Agostino, of A Life Examined, brought up the idea of a new blog hop called Question of the Month. He thinks blog readers would like to know a little more about us, the bloggers. So we’re all gathering to show you guys who we are by taking part in the Question of the Month blog hop. On the first Monday of each month, we answer the question that gets posted here.

*In a rush to start my vacation, I posted this a week early. Oops. 🙂 Now let’s see if I remember to come back and participate when everyone posts theirs.*

This month’s question is: What are three things that you’d do tomorrow if you weren’t blocked by fear?

I tried really hard to think of three things, but there aren’t many things I haven’t done because of fear. Most of the things I haven’t done have been due to circumstances and resources or a lack there of.

1. I’d tell certain people what I really think of them.

2. I’d leave my life behind and start over on a farm somewhere. My husband would, of course, be along for move. We’re tight like that.

In the words of Forrest Gump, “That’s all I have to say about that.”

Please check out the other participants in this hop and even join in if you’d like.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords
