ReplyDeleteXOXO~ Renee
Congrats to the winners!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Mazzios after the book signing... I seem to remember something about Mazzios in Oklahoma Reunion...
We haven't had a Mazzio's here in about a decade... Don't think I ever ate there but DH loved it.
And with that, it's bedtime ;).
The Blogger editing gremlins are attacking tonight.
ReplyDeleteIGNORE THE FONT ISSUES. I will prevail.
Yep. Mazzions and a stop to Braums for a Cherry Lime aide are on my TO DO LIST.
ReplyDeleteAlong with the Philbrook Museum and Jenks and ORU and and and...
Wow...great giveaways! Congrats to all of the winners! Tina...did you mention cherry limeade?! Mmmm...that's sounds really good. I might have to put that on my to do list this week. I'll have to settle for Sonic, though. Small town GA : ).
ReplyDeleteBlessings~Stacey
I love Sonic diet Cherry Limeades as well. And if I could spell that would be even better.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. Next week sounds like fun fun fun. i'm gonna party like it's 1999.
ReplyDeleteHere's praying you learn to spell, Tina. Could be useful at your signing.
WhooHooo! Lots of prizes. Congratulations to the winners.
ReplyDeleteSeekerville has the bestest birthday bashes ever.
Christina
That gotcha contest sounds interesting. May have to give it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteTina~
ReplyDeleteCarol told me its my turn to ask you about visiting after the book signing. I see that she already mentioned it. I think there's still a Mazzio's in Branson, but I could be wrong. Melissa would know...
Cherry limeade is wonderful. I like the cranberry too if it's mixed just right. But I can't take diet.
I got my copy of Oklahoma Reunion. Expect to see (and sign) it in Tulsa.
This is an amazing party, and I'm gonna work hard to stop by more often.
Bedtime sounds good, but I have some blog work to do. I'm having my own birthday bash starting Monday. It's my first. Nothing so grand as Seekerville. But I am giving a few things away.
Okay I just read my comment, and it looks like I think the book signing is in Branson. Have no fear, I know it's in Tulsa.
ReplyDeleteI also think there's a Mazzio's in Branson.
The two are in no way connected, just my stream-of-consciousness writing. Virginia Woolf would be proud.
/yeesh/
Ha ha, Pinson. :)
ReplyDeleteLook forwarding to signing and eating my way through Tulsa.
Congrats to all the winners.
ReplyDeleteI of course finally gave up on trying to win the Seeker books I want right now and splurged at the store today =)
I can not believe this...I beat Helen!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners.
Seekerville Authors...you are SO much fun!!!
Congratulations to all the winners! The seekers are such an amazingly generous bunch.
ReplyDeleteGreat week ahead!
Wow such a generous bunch... This is so much fun! Congratulations to all the winners (me me me 2!!!)
ReplyDeleteYou girls are outdoing yourselves. Seriously. And more to come?
Well - it's time I hit the hay. Y'all have a great rest of the evening/morning celebrating. Catch ya on the flip flop.
(did I mention that I won? and a MG book too! sooo excited!)
toasting Seekerville!!! byeee!
Yep, there's still a Mazzio's in Branson, not that I've gone there in like a decade, when I return to Branson, I go for the .....wait for it....thrift stores! Nothing says "I grew up in Branson" like I go to Btown for the thrift stores. But there are like 10 in a 1 mile radius in downtown Branson/Hollister when there aren't even 10 in my ENTIRE county!
ReplyDeleteAnd now that I've answered Andrea's way off topic pondering, I say thanks for the giveaway I won! :)
Ok, my heart just stopped! But then I remembered there are two Virginias around here.
ReplyDeleteWhich won the printer?
Which has the cuter avatar?
Wait! Don't answer that!! Hahaha!
I HOPE it's me... but I still love Seekerville if it's not.
Just polishing my query for the contest. Scarrrryyyyyyyy. Not the query. Just sending it out... Yikes.
P.S. Melissa, I have no idea what town you all are talking about, but I love thrift stores! With six kids, I can't buy everything from catalogues. :) Well, I could but then we wouldn't eat. And that would be a bummer. Thrift stores are so fun when you get something new and perfect for just a few bucks. Makes my day!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another great week to party. Sparkly confetti is flying!
ReplyDeleteHuh, my post got LOST!!!
ReplyDeleteRose did beat me, but I posted later and went back to my writing. Now I see that the coffee didn't make it.
Apologies.
The coffee pot is now set.
Helen
I'm pouring a cup of your coffee, Helen. Smells wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
Love this month with all the goodies we're giving away!!! Tell your friends to stop by so they can share in the fun!
Mary and Tina in one place, at the same time and signing...oh my gosh! Won't that be a hoot! Someone send pictures, please.
Branson has Thrift Shops?
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
I see the beginning of a suspense story...shopper---hmmmm? Named Ruthy, perhaps?...travels to Branson...enjoys the sights...shops at the Thrift stores--all of them--loses her wallet that's found by the villain who tracks her down and demands a ransom from the Seekers...Captain Jack arrives in time to save Ruthy, who returns to the Village and is crowned Queen for the Day...
Okay, okay, it's early and I've only had half a cup of coffee...
To be continued...
Congrats to all the winners. All of the posts this week were awesome...I actually won something. I'm so excited. What do I do now?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I went to a mini one-day conference for my RWA chapter yesterday and passed on this site to anyone who would listen, because I LOVE you guys so much.
Virginia, yes it's you, dahling!!!!
ReplyDelete:)
And if you send me your snail mail addy, I will hook you up!
Teeeeeena..... I'm so proud of you, going back home for this book signing.
Is it true they're re-paving the streets in your honor, dear?
And did they really rent a red carpet? Because you're SO WORTH IT!!!
Eating your way through Branson.
I LOVE THIS!!! ;)
Now that's a weekend to remember.
And then a month to behave before Thanksgiving.
PERFECT!!!!
Hey, I went over to Wendy Lawton's blogs on proposals... Oh my stars, wonderful advice, guys and gals. Just plain, Wendy-wonderful!
AND...
I got in the Nicholas Sparks blog about not finishing....
And I'm staying mum......
Because we've all been there. But all I can picture is that poor woman....STILL DYING AFTER ALL THIS TIME, SHUT IN A HARD-DRIVE DRAWER!!!!!
OY.
Cake this morning. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? Alan Jackson assured me this is so!
:)
Lemon creme cake with lemon filling and white mountain frosting. And I almost NEVER make white mountain frosting, it's the one frosting that's a pain in the butt...
But for this cake????
Nothing but the best!
Wow congrats to winners! WooHoo! Seekerville, you are sure full of prizes this month. I'm celebrating right along with you with my birthday coming along in a few days. (Of course, I'm waaaay older than you).
ReplyDeleteCongrats everyone!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeekerville sure does know how to throw a good party!!!!!
Congrats to the winners (woohooo I won my favorite prize - books!) and thank you Seekerville for a great week. It's been so much fun. Can't wait to see what next week brings.
ReplyDeleteWow, every day gets better and better at Seekerville! The posts, prizes, fellowship....all are just so fantastic! Thanks to you!!
ReplyDeleteMorning, ya'll! I'm home this morning with a couple sick boys, so I thought I'd pop in and wish you all a "Happy Lord's Day!" :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners!
Question: You say you're moving to the village. Does that mean Seekerville blog is literally moving to a different blog?
Oh, Mazzios!!!! I really miss Mazzios Pizza!!!! Eat a slice for me, girls, would you?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been a year since I first met you all. Yep! Your fourth birthday is my first anniversary with Seekerville. You gals hooked me, reeled me in and I've been here ever since. :D Thanks for all your great advice and encouragement over the last 12 months! And for the new friendships, too! Love you all!
Debby, if you go to my blogspot And Odyssey in Prose, you'll see a video one of my blue monkey pals put together of the Ted Dekker conference. I also posted it this morning on my FB author page. :D Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great first birthday week...congratulations to all of the winners.

ReplyDeleteTina, what do I do next? I looked on here for any type of instructions but didn't see any. Did I miss something? Where do I send my info? I was a winner in the "2-pack" - can't remember, do I have to "choose" something or are books just sent to me??? Aren't I just full of questions this morning!
Congrats to the other winners! Sorry that the gremlins are getting to the editing!!!!
Valri westernaz@msn.com
I love the plot-line Deb...

And I get to be queen for a day. Oh, won't the Teeeeenster LOVE THAT!!!!
How 'bout if I'm mayor and she remains queen, because seriously: Have you seen what happens when people mess with her tiara???
IT IS NOT PRETTY.
:)
Hey, the lemon cake... Are you loving it??? I'm refreshing the coffee (love you, Helen!!!) and the tea and bringing in cases of Diet Snapple. If I have to diet, so do the rest o' youse!

Congratulations to all of the winners! There are so many great books for me to discover, I cant wait!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! My kids are doing a happy dance. Our printer is almost unusable, but we still let it have a place of honor near the computer. It likes to PRETEND it can do the job. :)
ReplyDeleteNow I have to check out the Nocholas Sparks site for the dying character...
I checked the site for the call for unfinished Great American Novel... but I just can't imagine how they would put that in a show! Maybe hook you up with Seekerville for mentoring?? (Now that would be cool...
Congrats to all you winners!!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary to Andrea! And happy birthday to Patsy!
Congratulations to all winners. Happy Thanksgiving Day to all the Canadians. And Happy Birthday to Seekers. Looking forward to next week's festivities. A beautiful day here for our autumn festival. Pat
ReplyDeleteThanks for spreading the word about Seekerville, Annie!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Almost Birthday, Patsy! Ruthy brought cake. Have a big piece and enjoy!
Linnette! You're celebrating your first Seekerville birthday as we celebrate our 4th. So glad you found us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info about the Ted Dekker video. I'll check it out.
The cake is yummy, Mayor Ruthy!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Tina keeps the tiara. The Grammar Queen wears one too. Maybe everyone should have a tiara in Seekerville...
Something to consider, for sure!
What a great Sunday post, and congrats to all the winners!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Virginia gets to put her old printer out to pasture...
I looks like another great week coming up in Seekerville!
Like!
ReplyDeleteY'all are so sweet. I think I've said that before, but I'm continually boggled over your giveaways--and that on top of the great advice you provide. Thanks, and congrats again on the move to Seekerville Village!
Congrats, winners! Here's to another wonderful birthday-bash week!
ReplyDeleteWhitney
Congrats to all the winners!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to this week's winners. I'll have to add the Yankee-Belle Cafe to my Google Reader subscriptions. I think I make a pretty good chocolate chip cookie too, Ruthy, but I had no idea that Ghiardelli, my favorite dark chocolate maker, makes chocolate chips too. Gotta find them.
ReplyDeleteTina - I'll bring cookies. Especially if it'll make you like me more.
ReplyDeleteWe may be bringing Cindy Herron too. She wasn't sure yet.
This is also my 1 year Seeker Anniversary. What did ya'll do without me? ;)
Or more likely, what did I do without ya'll?
You've introduced me to some AMAZING authors. Given me some way cool prizes. Helped me find my long lost, Appalaaaaachaaaan [note the a's there] spicy twin. More incredible authors. Encouragement. Helped me find my voice [in a comment Missy left either on my blog or here after I linked to my blog one day]. So many amazing things.
All because Mary posted on the loop about how to gift books on a Kindle.
Thanks Mary.
:D
As long as I don't have to decide which one of ya'll I like best...
virginia, while you're at it, I just read a great article by Nicolas Sparks about his Favorite Mistake. Lot of writers who struggle with finishing a book might want to read this one. http://bit.ly/rtuDpb
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the printer, Virginia. Know how it is to have a printer that is more decoration than useful. Replaced ours earlier this year.
ReplyDeletePatricia, we posted that in the Random News section of today's Weekend Edition.
ReplyDeleteGREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!!
Carol!!! Cookies? Who could resist Mazzios Pizza, Braums Ice Cream and Goldie's Patio Grill. I am going to eat my way across Oklahoma.
ReplyDeleteAnd no worries, I will never, ever tell Mary that I am your favorite.
EVER!!
Hey, Birthday Girls! Wow, that was a boatload of prizes you guys gave away, and a whole lot more to come! You guys are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow! Congrats to the winners. That's a whole passel and a half!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay me! Thank you Seekers and Donna Alward. On this Thanksgiving weekend I'm thanking God for bringing the Seekers together and giving them a vision they've never strayed from.
Can't wait for the coming week. Zucchini cookie anyone?
Anita Mae
Just found your site. It looks awesome and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. I'm polishing my query to send off tonight. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I knew there was another reason bfor me to like fall,besides the great fall weather, it's Seekerville's Birthday Bash!! Loving it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Boy, it feels strange saying that in October. :)
ReplyDeleteA submission in the mail?
ReplyDeleteYAY, Melissa K. Norris!!!
You go, girl!
We're cheering you on!!!
Be sure to let us know what happens.
I heard someone else is ready to submit...Larissa, are you online today?
Anita Mae!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Such fun seeing you at ACFW!!! Whoo-hoo!!!!
Good luck to those entering the query contest. I can feel the excitement and I don't even have anything to submit.
ReplyDeleteWish me luck, I'm attempting chicken pot pie from scratch. Might not sound like much but for a girl who's one claim to fame is cookies it's big :)
Carol, honey, we couldn't like you more than we already do!
ReplyDeleteAlthough your cookies are yummy delicious! :)
Congrats to the winners!!!
ReplyDeletecongrats to all winners. Birthdays are fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to the Canadians here.
Did I mention I dont like daylight savings! I still wake early by night times Im so tired but still dont get to sleep til later.
Jamie, chicken pot pie is very ambitious. I am in awe.
ReplyDeleteMelissa K. You are entering the contest. Woot!
I just finished "Out of Control." One of those I-got-to-bed-at-3AM-again books. But it was worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteWinners- enjoy all of your goodies!

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Canadian friends!
ReplyDeleteDid someone mention pot pie? Love, love, love chicken pot pie when the crust is golden and flaky, it has chunks of chicken and the sauce is creamy delicious.
Good grief! Looks like I missed most of the party! I just love all you ladies. It was such a treat to meet Mary at the ACFW conference and to connect with Julie again. Can't wait to read her post. Love to you all. Mags
ReplyDeleteHmmm...was checking in to see if Mary had surfaced after our wild weekend. Must still be sleeping.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners. :)
Wow, another busy day in Seekerville! I've been out and about. Church and a bridal shower for a co-worker's daughter.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners, and especially to Virginia M. That HP printer is a great prize! I just got a new printer/fax thingie. Just gotta figure out how to get it going...

Tina, you don't need to know how to spell. Nowadays you don't even have to know people who do. That's what spell check is for.
Happy Birthday and congrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteLet's make today 100 comments. ;-) I missed a couple posts with the Women of Faith conference I went to this weekend, but even though I love Seekerville it was worth it to spend the time with my mom. Congrats to the winners!! :D
