Well, thanks Lillie! Lillie Ammann gave me a Premio Dardos Award.
To quote, “Premio Dardos means ‘prize darts’ in Italian. It is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing.”
The rules are to (1) accept the award by posting it on my blog with thanks to the person who gave it to me, and (2) pass it on to 15 other bloggers, along with a comment to let them know.
So, first, I graciously accept. How very nice of her!
Secondly, well, fifteen people are a lot of people, but I think I can manage. Some will have already be nominated, I’m sure. (In fact I am sure, because a couple were already on Lillie’s list.) But does that really matter?
So … cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted via creative and original writing. Let’s see!
Alphabetically… (and not including Lillie who WOULD have been on the list):
- Amy Derby, Write from Home
- Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner, Mason-Dixon Knitting
- Brad Shorr, Word Sell
- Jane Brocket, Jane Brocket/Yarnstorm
- Jelly Jules at Thinking About
- Joanna Young, Confident Writing
- Julie Roads, Writing Roads
- Liz Strauss, The Successful Blog
- Melissa Donovan, Writing Forward
- Norma, Now Norma Knits
- Quinn Cummings, The QC Report
- Rosa Say, Joyful Jubilant Learning
- Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Yarn Harlot
- Susan Gibbs, MV Fiber Farm
- Tammy, Precarious Tomato
(And, would it be weird to list my Mom’s blog, too? Just because, well, it’s Mom’s and it’s about one of my favorite places? Joan Boyken, MV Obsession.)
Thank you for thinking of me, Deb. 🙂

Hi Deb, Thank you so much! I am really honored and proud to be in such fine company. Plus, Yarn Harlot and Precarious Tomato are two of the best blog names I’ve seen in ages. (This sort of thing makes my day!)

Two awards in one day?! Heavens, I think I need a lie down. Thanks Deb!
Joanna Young’s last blog post..Audacious Faith in the Future
Wow, thanks Deb! I’m flattered. 15 people is a lot. I’m going to have to do some thinking.
I was thinking of you while reading “The Elegance of the Hedgehog”, by Muriel Barbery. You might enjoy it. The part that made me think of you is a character who physically winces when hearing very bad grammar. 🙂
I love that your mom has a blog. My mom had a blog as well, and while I always thought I knew her well, reading her blog gave me a peek into her inner world that I had previously missed. Loved that.

Thank you! I am totally honored to be in among such a great bunch of people! That’s very, very sweet of you!
Ethical and Personal Values… geez, if word of this gets out, I’ma lose my membership in the crusty old curmudgeon club.

Mahalo nui Deb. Serving as the managing editor of JJL for all the wonderful writers who contribute is such a privilege for me – and it’s fun! Getting an award to boot is that icing on the cake (and extra swing in my hula step!) Thank you for your recognition to the now 50+ who have written for JJL and learned with us.
