Creative Award Contest WINNER!

I have a WINNER for my creative award contest.

Nancy J. Parra guessed it right.

I told six truths and one lie. The lie was #3. My kitchen is NOT decorated in sunflowers but GRAPES.

Thanks everyone for playing. This was fun. Nancy, I'll be sending you a copy of Lisa Kleypas's newest release, Married by Morning. I just finished my copy this Saturday. Loved it.

Congrats.

Hope everyone has a good Memorial Day.

Friday Forwards - #9

Important Women's Health Issue:

* Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
* Do you suffer from shyness?
* Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?
* Do you suffer exhaustion from the day to day grind?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Margaritas.

Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions.

Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regiment of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.

Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had.

Stop hiding and start living...with Margaritas.

Margaritas may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Margaritas. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Incarceration
- Loss of motor control
- Loss of clothing
- Loss of money
- Table dancing
- Headache
- Dehydration
- Dry mouth
- And a desire to sing Karaoke

WARNINGS:
* The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
* The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
* The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to think you can sing.
* The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you can logically converse with others without spitting.

Creative Writer Award

Rebecca J. Vickery has passed on the Creative Liar--I mean, Writer--Award to me.

So, to begin with, I have to tell either six truths and one lie, OR six lies and one truth about myself, making YOU figure out which is which.

Then I need give some kind of prize. Ergo, the first commenter to decide if I've made up six lies or six truths and then correctly picks the odd-man-out will be our winner. This person will be sent a copy of Lisa Kleypas's new arrival, Married by Morning. I've been waiting forever for this book in her Hathaway series to come out--so excited to read it!! I'll pick a winner on Saturday, so I guess the deadline is Friday night then.

And finally, I have to pass the award on to SEVEN other creative writers. This is who I hereby bestow the honor:

Molly Daniels
Sherrinda
Cindy R. Wilson
Linda LaRoque
Diane Estrella
Ashley Ladd
Sandy K. Marshall

Yes, you're totally welcome, ladies!

NOW...Here is my "creative" list of things for you to guess from. Good luck!

1. I grew up on a dairy farm, but have never milked a cow. Crazy, huh?
2. I have a birthmark next to my belly button. It's shaped like some odd country on a map.
3. My kitchen is decorated with a sunflower theme; Hey, I'm from Kansas.
4. I'm in the same writing group as Julie Garwood. I know, cool, right?
5. I'm married to a cop. Yeah, I'm a sucker for a man in a uniform.
6. I went to Mt. Rushmore my senior year of high school with the History Club. Long trip.
7. I've only wrecked one car in my life. Yep, totalled it.
