Just for Fun - Liebster Award

I use Grammarly's free plagiarism check because it helps you to say what you mean, and mean what you say!


Since I've been blogging, I've always wanted to receive a Liebster Award.  A Liebster Award would let me know that I'm being read, and someone, yes someone, actually likes what I write!!! I'm joking, but I do like the validation. So imagine my great surprise and pleasure when I was actually nominated by a fellow blogger - wooohooooo!!!

Thank you to the lovely Denise of Niecyisms for nominating me.

How it works: 

You list 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the blogger who nominated you.
You then nominate 11 other bloggers (with less than 200 followers) and give them 11 questions to answer.
