I'm glad I could introduce you to blog awards. :) They're just kind of a fun way to show other bloggers you appreciate them. :)<br /><br />And thank you so much for your kind words about me and my blog! So glad you could stop by, and I'm very excited to read Heartless! I know I keep saying that I will, but I really do want to read it soon - before I review Veiled Rose for Bethany House. :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-83276530056519646862011-08-22T06:35:52.869-06:002011-08-22T06:35:52.869-06:00Thank you for the award, Amber!

I'm excited for Casey, too, and I admire the community ya'll have formed with "The Writers Alley" blog. :) <br /><br />As for the award, you're very welcome! I'm so grateful for the connection with you, as well! :) I'm hoping to focus more on devotional-type posts and "Mondays for the Military" once I get back to school, so we'll see how it all goes! <br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-3167530138478736152011-08-21T14:26:11.776-06:002011-08-21T14:26:11.776-06:00I didn't know about the contest but am so thri...I didn't know about the contest but am so thrilled to read the entries. I share so much in Casey's joy about the Frasier...she has put so much work into her writing and I'm so glad to see she is being rewarded along the journey. :)<br /><br />Amber, Thanks so much for this award. It is wonderful to have made a connection with you in the blogging community. It really means a lot to me even when I think I'm not so present in the blogging community. I am so blessed by your devotions as well.Julia M.
