Creative Blogger Nomination

WOW I’ve been nominated for a Creative Blogger Award:
'For those who bring unique and creative elements to their blogs. For those who incorporate art, music, creative writing, photo's, and other beautiful visual effects into their website. For those who put a unique spin on things and come up with new ideas. This award is for the artsy, the funky, the inventor, and even the rebel. This award is for those creative individuals who stand out from the crowd'.         How fabulous!

As a recipient of this award I must:

1. Thank the award giver Ellie Garrett and link to their blog.
   
   So, a HUGE thank you to Ellie for my peer validation. 

2. Nominate five other creative writers/bloggers and link to their blogs.  

This is very hard as there is so much talent out there, but I've decided to nominate :

  Donna from Musings of a Penniless Writer

 Erica from A Novel Hypothetically Speaking

  Shallee from Life The Universe and Writing

Suzanne Jones from About Writing and other things

Karen from Get On With It

3. List either six crazy truths and one outrageous lie or six outrageous lies and one crazy truth. Here they are: 

1. I've met the drummer of Echo & the Bunnymen, Pete De Freitas, who bought me a 21^st birthday drink.
2. I was born in Canada.
3. I assisted the 'incognito' Derek Thompson (Charlie Fairhead) while working as a shop assistant in Waterstones.
4. I’ve sat in First Class carriage while listening to the booming voice of Adam Hart Davies talking to the trolley dolly.
5. My feet smell of treacle.
6. I’ve served 3 members of the Strawbridge family from ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green’ when working as a craft shop retailer.
7. I've had four dramatic premonitions about my Dad that all came true.

But which are which? Have you decided yet?

Not quite sure what happens next though...

I thought I'd put the answers in a word search grid and the odd one out will not be among them.
