Leibster Award and some fun facts about me

 

 I received a comment on one of my blog post saying a fellow blogger, Chas, had nominated me for a Liebster Award. It's an award that you pass on to a a fellow blogger that you like and enjoy reading their posts. The whole point of this is to let someone know that you like their writing, get to know them better, and then pass the torch on to others that you, yourself, like. I've been nominated for this award before, but this is the first time that it had fun questions attached so I thought I'd share some fun stuff about me and pass this along, but not to as many as 11.  Since I've done this before it gets harder to pass it along again, unless I really start hunting for more and new blogs to follow.  So with that said I'm going to pass this along to a few of the newer ones I'm following. For those of you that I end up sending this Liebster Award to here are the rules!

The Rules:

1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.
2. They must also answer the 11 questions the tagger has set for them.
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.
4. They must then choose 11 special bloggers to tag & award with the Liebster award
5. These bloggers must be told in a comment on their blog
