#petsontour - a big thank you!

Hi! Petsontour came to an end yesterday. It was the first blog tour I'd done and a lot of fun.  It lasted a whopping five weeks too. Having to think up new guest posts kept me on my toes and it was a pleasure to tour with David M Brown. 

I'd like to say a big thank you to all of the bloggers who got involved in the tour and to Donna and David Brown for organising everything, and to Coral and The Indie Exchange for co-sponsoring us. It has been great.

For more news and the winners of the competition, please check the main tour link: http://tweedling.com/raining-cats-and-dogs-blog-tour-14-january-to-14-february/

Once again, thank you bloggers as we couldn't have done it without you.
And thanks to all of the readers who stopped by to read our interviews, guest posts, character posts and other ramblings. 

The highlights for me were writing a new story where Kiwi the cat took me to Cat City and creating Pet Date with David. A big thanks to Nikki for her marvellous illustration, which brought the scene to life.

If you want to catch up with the posts from the tour, just check out the #petsontour tab.

Cheers everyone! You rock!!

The Versatile Blogger Award

Horrah!

This weekend I won something! Yes, me! I never win things! Except when I was 18 and I won tickets to see Michael Jackson. Oops, tell a fib, I recently won a Twitter background through Donna Brown's Adopt an Indie initiative (http://adoptanindie.com). 

The tradition for receiving this award is to:

1.  Thank the person who gives it to you and link them back to your blog. 

2.  Share seven things about yourself. 

3.  Pass this award on to 5 other recently discovered blogs and inform them of the honour.

So a big thank you from me and my kitty, Mogsy, to the following super-writing-heroes, although I don't think they wear their pants on the outside of their clothes (I hope) :

A big yayyyyyyy for them... I can't hear you... louder... ok then...

So, seven things about me:

- I wanted to be a fireman or a vet, but then I also thought I could marry Bugs Bunny... I didn't realise there were many obstacles to our love... such as him being an animal, only eating carrots and actually just being a cartoon...

- I travelled to Canada, Alaska and Australia on my own, and loved it. I saw caribou, a wolf, bears, a tasmanian devil, koalas, all sorts... but no moose! Where's moosey?

- I'd like to live by the sea... as in a house on the beach please... and I think the rain smells green

- I cannot play any musical instrument - not even a recorder (why, oh why?!)

- My fave TV series are The Closer, Frasier and Six Feet Under

- I have odd ears! Really! One is shaped like my mum's and one like my dad's - I pointed this out over Christmas dinner one year and my brother nearly choked on his sprouts

- I have vertigo since being stuck upside down on a ride when I was 24, but I still walked to the top of Ben Nevis, flew over Mt McKinley in a little plane, took a helicopter down the Grand Canyon, stumbled blindly across the Capilano Bridge and peeked through my fingers going up a cable car in Australia (not in the same week) ... and I almost did a skydive... almost, but I wasn't allowed  :(

Moving swiftly on to the five blogs that I would like to nominate for sheer sparkly wondrousness:

And that's all folks... now where was I meant to be meeting Bugs today? Shush, don't tell anyone...
