My dear friend Julie is having a birthday today, and to celebrate, she’s hosting a super Blogfiesta. It’s super easy to enter, and the prize will be a Barnes and Noble or Amazon $25 gift card. Head over there and enter! She has a wonderful blog full of useful idea and information, especially on how to survive the zombie apocalypse 🙂 She also passed along a blog award to me.

These are the rules that were so clearly stated on her blog, that I just copied and pasted (my excuse is that I haven’t slept in days. More on that, another day)

The rules are simple:
Name 5 blogs with under 200 followers that are totally awesome and deserve the award.
Link to those five blogs, as well as the blogger who awarded the award, and let your picks know they are the winners.
Share the love and help an undiscovered blog find the readership it deserves.

Yet another reason the blogging community rocks!

My five blog choices are:

Marilyn Almodovar: I met her through twitter and is a super writer.
  Shar: an amazing writer I had the pleasure to meet at the WIFYR conference almost two years ago. I seriously can’t wait for her book to be published. It’s amazing!
Carolyn: I met her online too, and then we’ve met over the years at several writers’ conferences in Utah. Carolyn has the best attitude in the world!
Christy: not only is she a great writer, she’s also an amazing Irish dancer.
Keru (a. k. a. Manny): a writer I just met through the Favorite Character blogfest, and whose comments were super nice.

It took me forever to link all these wonderful blogs, but it’s done! (I hope they all work!)
