BUT WAIT!
HERE'S ANOTHER AWARD!

i was also nominated for another Leibster award by

ROBIN of FLUSTER BUSTER!

oh ROBIN! you totally made my day :)

the first Leibster i was nominated for was by the sweet NEECEE of PINE CREEK STYLE waaaay back in August 2012! i was soooo stoked when NEECEE nominated me!
but
i am such a LAMO for not extending the award to others til now!

but for good reason cuz i searched and searched for the best ones i could find. and a ton of them already had 200 plus followers or had social media sites that i had no idea how many followers they had.

anyway, the Leibster Award is given to new and up-and-coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers who deserve some recognition and support to keep on blogging. the award is passed on to other bloggers that fit the criteria to help spread the word.

The Rules:

1. each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.

2. answer the questions the tagger has set for you, then create 11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.

3. choose 11 new bloggers (with less than 200 followers) to pass the award to and link them in your post.

4. go back to their page and tell them about the award.

5. no tag backs.
