I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Lauren Nicolette Colie.

The reason I’m doing this award is because it has fun questions.  Also, I’m nominating everyone for this award.  Yes, I’m too lazy to pick and choose out of my 300+ follower list.

The rules for this award are:

• Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
• Answer the questions that the tagger set for you, and create 11 questions for the people you tag to answer.
• Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
• Go to those pages and tell them.
• No tag backs.
