The first time I received a Liebster Award was back in 2012. I had answered all the questions and followed all the rules.. the next few times I just skipped it all with just an acknowledgement to the sweet blogger who nominated me..

Seeing that is has been a long time since I answered some questions about me I thought I'd take this as an opportunity to do so.. but I am skipping all the rules.. I would love to say a big Thank You to Ashley from PrettyHappySweet I am honored.

Now getting straight to it.

I went back to take a look at my first Liebster Award post.. and it delighted me to see that two of the blogs I nominated back then are still blogs I visit and are regular readers of my blog.. that made me smile. thank you.
