The Liebster Award


First and foremost, I'd like to thank the two bloggers who nominated me for this award, Kimberley (of Kimberley's Blog) and Libby (of Cherrytruth). I recently started up my blog again and am so honored that these two ladies felt that my blog deserved some recognition :)

So here are the rules governing the award:

  • The award is for bloggers with less than 300 followers.
  • If you are nominated, you must link back to the blogger who awarded you.
  • After that, write 11 random facts about yourself and answer the 11 questions written by the blogger who nominated you.
  • Then make up 11 new questions and nominate up to 11 other bloggers!
11 Random Facts about me:

  2. I am Vice President: Finance of my sorority, Delta Gamma.
  3. My favorite book is Wuthering Heights, even though it's depressing. I liken it to a train wreck, you just know something bad is happening but you can't take your eyes off of it.
  4. When I eat Lucky Charms cereal, I eat all of the marshmallows first.
  5. If I have writer's block, I play Debussy's "Clair de lune" and it usually cures it by the time the song ends.

  7. I absolutely adore baking and take a few pastry classes every now and then to freshen up.
