The Liebster Award – Is it too soon to get a trophy case?
I have been nominated for a Liebster award by the lovely Gwen over at The 4 AM Writer. This award is bestowed upon Bloggers, specifically those with a smaller following, usually less that 200, by other Bloggers. Its like an industry recognition thing. Can we refer to it as the Screen Actor’s Guild of the Blogging World??? I think we can 
The rules are this: I must dress up in my finest designer couture and – oh wait, what? There is no red carpet?? No photographers? No media? No goody bags? Hmmm, ok well it seems I have misunderstood the rules…let’s try again….
Rules:
- Post eleven facts about yourself
- Answer the questions posed by your nominator
- Pass the award on to eleven new recipients
- Pose eleven new questions to your bloggers
