An award for me, and a prize for you!

Last month I was given the Kreativ Blogger Award by my friend Mel. Thank you Mel! {Everyone - go visit her blog NOW. You'll love her beautiful kids, amazing pictures, and creative ideas. She's awesome.}



Isn't it pretty? Where should I put it? On my mantle? In my trophy case? Okay, I'll just keep it here on my blog.

Here are the rules for receiving this award:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.
5. Nominate Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they’ve been nominated

- - -

But in the spirit of, shall we say, "Kreativity," I am going to mix it up a bit. I'm going to make a list of TEN things about myself. However, only SEVEN of them are true.

Leave a comment with the THREE you think are false, and I have a $5 Starbucks gift card with your name on it! If there is more than one person with the right answer, I'll have to draw a name.

Now, if you are my sister or my other sister or my mom or my husband, you cannot guess. You know me too well. TOO WELL.

Here we go!

1. I love the smell of cow manure.
2. I was in a bar fight when I was pregnant with Emma.
3. I have met Beth Moore in person.
4. Tear gas has no effect on me.
5. I had a guinea pig named "Rabbit" when I was in elementary school.
6. I competed in the Colorado state spelling bee in fifth grade.
7. I played the part of a bladder in a play when I was in high school.
8. My first kiss with Gary was at a rest stop in Utah.
9. I have had my tonsils removed.
10. Last summer I lost my wedding rings.

Start guessing! I'll reveal a winner on Monday!

And now the five friends I'm nominating:
Amy
Abby
Michelle
Christi
Amber

Now go leave a comment and see how well you know me. You might be surprised! Even if you don't know me AT ALL, just take a stab at it. You have nothing to lose! Happy guessing!

    #s 2, 3, and 4 are false.

    But I'm just playing to try to be right, not to win the card. I've never been within 10 ft of a Starbucks and never will (coffee HATER! lol), so it would be useless to me. So if I win, pass it to the next person. :) I just wanna be right. Call me competitive...I get that from you.

    hmmmmm let me see......

    #5 , #7, #3 (that one is a big guess, I cannot remember if you just saw her or met her)

    But that would mean that you pick only odd numbers and I don't know if you would do that....but maybe you would know that people would notice that they were odd numbers and be detoured. Oh I don't know.

    Gosh! Those all sound so crazy that it's hard to believe you made them up.

    since I've never met you, I"m going with #1, #6 and #9. Completely random guess.

    I say #4, #8, #9 are false.

    But I don't know. Those are tricky, tricky, tricky and very, very FUN!

    Hmm- well the only one I know for sure is number 4. I even know when and where and why you know this. = )

    Hmm . . . Define "bar fight" . . .

    My guesses are: 1, 2, and 10.

    2,4,7?

    Hey, thanks for nominating me! I'm going to try to do this after I get done with my 30 days of Thanksgiving!

    2, 3, and 9

    I was torn about guessing number 2. It sounds far too ridiculous to possibly be true, but aren't those the kind of facts people always throw into this game??? If it is true, you must tell that story (I'd be ok with losing the contest if it meant that I'd get to hear a story like that).

    I'm inclined to guess that #4 is true, just because it's a really obscure thing to make up. But how in the world would you ever come to find that out!?

    I am trying to narrow it down by the ones I know are true, but a few I am unsure of...my guess is that the false ones are:
    #'s 5, 7, and 9.
    Fun game:)

    ok, I think I have a pretty good idea, but we'll see....

    #3, 6 & 9 are false...

    I'll take you out for hot chocolate if I win :)

    The "part truths" are throwing me off... I'm going to say 7 and 8 are false... But I'm only sure on number 8. Can't make up my mind between 6 and 9... so I'm going with 6 as false. Okay... so 6,7, and 8 are false...

    Interesting.

    I picked my three, then noticed they were the same as Mer's guesses: #4, #8 and #9.

    I am going with 3, 8, & 9; and may I add, with genuine love and admiration, that you may be my strangest friend of all.

    I'm thinking that #3, #7 & #9 are false. I can kind of see 7 being true, but I can't find a better one to guess on.
    Can't wait for the reveal!!!! Such fun things about you, and a story to go with each of them, I love that about you!
    And thanks for the nomination, it might take me a bit to post on it, but I will. :-)
    And....I like the new look of your blog.....SO you!!!
    Hugs!
