So we have been nominated for a Liebster Award
by six of our fellow bloggers!!!
A big thanks to Janet Planet Nails and Polish Insomnia.
I had heard of the Liebster award before this a several of the blogs that I follow have been awarded it.
In fact I saw this on Erica's Nails And More's
page several days ago.
Now at the time I had really no idea what it was,
so I did a goggle search on it at that time.
So I would like to tell you a little about the Liebster Award
'Liebster' is a German word that means favorite
or preferred above others.
This award can only be given to a blogger by another blogger.
This award helps us to get to know something about the blogger.
It's for bloggers who have less than 200 followers.
Let's start with the rules:
1. Post eleven facts about yourself.
2. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you and create eleven questions for people you have nominated.
3. Choose eleven people to give this award to (with fewer than 200 followers) and link them to your post.
4. Go to their page and tell them.
5. Remember, no tagbacks!
So let's start with those fun facts about me.
1. I have four children Jenna age 8, Alysha age 7 on Dec 22nd, Raiden age 6 on Feb 8th, and Izzy (Izabella) age 3 on Dec 14th.
2. I share two of those children with Amber from And then there was polish. She is their mom. Their dad is my husband and they are with us most of the time. They are looking forward to having mommy move closer, when she is done with school.
3. I am claustrophobic and hate big crowds.
4. Because I have a right shoulder that likes to drop out of socket when I use a regular mouse on a desk I had to teach myself to use one left handed, with the buttons still set up for a righty. Couldn't do it the other way. I love my roller ball mouse at home.
5. I work for the local phone company.
6. My favorite color is lime green.
7. We have two painted turtles named T3 (teeny tiny turtle) and T4 (teeny tiny turtle two), many fish. Cichlids mostly Lake Malawi breeds, and one Guinea Pig name Wicket, cause he looks like and Ewok.
8. I am an Aries through and through. I am also a Water Pig, Chinese Zodiac.
9. I never dreamed I would be a mom or get married, so I had no dream wedding planned or dream wedding dress.
