1. I'm going to reveal Crystal Collier's lie from her blog tour.
2. I'm going to get sappy and wish you a Merry Christmas.
3. I'm going to... get out of here!
Crystal Collier's Lie
In case you've forgotten, here are the choices she presented in her Truth or Lie game:
2. She tore open her jaw on the black diamond ski slopes of Powder Mountain. (20+ stitches.)
3. She worked a summer in both Yellowstone and the High Uintahs.
Ready for the answer? I'll let Crystal tell you herself...
The lie: #2.
"Yes, I do have a scar that took 20+ stitches to sew up running from the corner of my mouth and looping all the way to below my chin, but believe it or not, despite growing up in Utah, I have yet to go snow skiing.I am actually a certified scuba diver—that was my birthday present when I turned 15—and although I don’t eat seafood, I went hunting with a group on a Catalina trip. When I was 15 I also worked at Spirit Lake (10K feet above sea level) doing horse tours, waiting tables, and maintaining a campground. At 18, I worked as a housekeeper in Yellowstone and hit the park every night with my best friend. Both awesome experiences."
THE WINNERS:

Merry Christmas, all of you wonderful people! (If you're not a fan, just put your finger over "Merry Christmas" and say out loud whatever you celebrate. It works, I promise!)
Hiatus
I used to feel so bad about taking time off from blogging. Now I'm like, "Heck yes! Let me write it on Washi tape in my color-coded planner..."
Don't get me wrong. I love you guys. ♥ I just also happen to love spending time with my family and working on my book... ;) So, I shall return on:
JANUARY 13, 2014

Don't feel guilty about taking a break. I think most of us are over the holidays. Happy Holidays and Happy Writing!
Merry Christmas, Carrie. :)
Uh oh. You. And me. On hiatus together?
Think of all the shenanigans we can get into! xD
I'll be taking time off during the holidays as well, so don't feel bad. Merry Christmas, Carrie.
Enjoy the break. Merry Christmas!
Hey Carrie :)
Hope you have a wonderful holiday vacation....I will not be taking a break.. i would say unfortunately but I actually have some exciting things happening ..My cover reveal is Jan 6th so i have that to look forward to ... Plus my family is in another state so i need to keep busy :)
Enjoy your break, you deserve it... We will all be here waiting for you when you get back ....Merry Christmas! :)
Merry Christmas! Enjoy your break.
Gifts, food, and prayer. Oh and friends and family of course. Crystal is such a character and Merry Christmas Carrie. Take your break and come back refreshed.
Have a happy Christmas! I'm just enjoying the university winter break, and depending upon how soon I can end my babysitting gig (upon the children's divorced parents finding a replacement with a more suitable schedule), I might visit my aunt in Florida.
The further you get on this journey, the greater the need for a hiatus. Happy travels!
Taking a break?? I need one as well. But mine will have to wait until the 23rd.
I know this is beside the point but I really dig the font and the gilded style of that "Lies" png. Kind of a mixture of Greece and Harry Potter.
Merry Christmas to you. I hope it's a good one!
Enjoy your break
Hubs is taking time off work with me and the kids over break and even though I'm not taking a total hiatus, I won't be around the blogosphere quite so much. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas :-)
As I blogged about today, I am very likely taking a break (knowing that any announcement will trigger a flood of bloggy ideas that just. Can't. Wait.
Happy Christmas and enjoy your friends, family, and writing! And hiatus!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a great blogging break :)

You guys are definitely making me feel better about the decision. :) Merry Christmas, Alex!
Thanks, Donna! :) Merry Christmas!
Enjoy the break. See you in January!
Thank you very much, Kanettra. :) Oh, wow. That came up fast. Best of luck with your cover reveal, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thanks, Ilima! :) Merry Christmas to you, too!
That sounds fantastic! :) Merry Christmas, Sheena-kay!
Amen to that! ;) Thanks, Nancy!
You too, Carrie-Anne! :) I hope you're able to visit your aunt. That sounds like a nice use of your break!
Oo, less than a week until you can take yours. :) Thank you! I wish I could remember which font it was off the top of my head. I grabbed one I already had installed and added the gilded style.
Merry Christmas! :)
Have an amazing vacation!! I think I'm going to take a page from your book and take some time off, too :)
Oo, I hope you enjoy yourself, Jamie. :) Merry Christmas!
Isn't that the way is always goes? ;)
Thanks, Jeff! Merry Christmas!
You too, Sarah! :)
Merry Christmas, Carrie! Enjoy the time away from the blog, and have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
Thanks, Natasha! :)
Thank you, Liz! I think that's a great idea. :D
Thanks, Jennifer! :) Merry Christmas to you, too!
Hope your break is perfect, Carrie. See you in 2014!
Spending time with family and friends is the best! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Lee! :) Merry Christmas!
It certainly is. :) Merry Christmas, Cathrina!
Yay! I'm so late to the party. Carrie, thank you a billion times over. You are amazing, and I so need to catch up blogging. See this is what happens when you take a hiatus--even if it's just to go on a short cruise so you can plan book stuff. Yup.
Merry Christmas, woman, and enjoy your time away!
You're very welcome! Catching up is my least favorite part of a hiatus, so I totally understand. It always feels like drowning!
Of course, such is life in this industry... ;) Merry Christmas!
Have a great break! Hope you had a good Christmas. Have a blessed new year! :-)
Thanks, Misha! :) You too!
Have a great New Year! Enjoy your new year.

Scheduling blogging vacays...what an awesome idea! Beats getting worn out and quitting!
You should try it! It's such a weight off. :)

Yours too, Sarah! :)
Hey, Stranger...
NO wonder I haven't seen up around... HAPPY 2014!!!!!! I was traveling through COLOMBIA for all of November and in Florida until Dec 17, so I was scamping about and blogging sporadically.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and look forward to seeing you tomorrow!!!!
I am hosting a COFFEE HOP on Fri. Jan. 17th... if you LOVE COFFEE, you must hop along. I am giving away a pound of PURE COLOMBIAN. Nothing like you've EVER tasted. I already have the link up from IWSG post, but I will be posting a FULL page on it tomorrow.
I can't WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!!! I've greatly missed our chats.
Welcome back, Michael! Happy 2014 to you, too. :D
Oh wow. That's exciting! I'm sure you'll have a ton of writers hop on that one!
I've missed our chats, too! We need to catch up. :)
