Leonie commented on my last blog post letting me know she had nominated me and as I visited her wonderful site, I learned how this award works... Really amazing actually...

So there are some rules for receiving this award" (quote from Leonie's blog): So here is how it works!

2. Answer the 11 questions given to you.
3. Ask 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominate for the award.
4. Choose 9 bloggers with 200 or less followers to nominate.

  1. Hi Hope - Thank you so much for the nomination! It is incredibly gratifying to be recognized by fellow bloggers - I think it is mostly for my peers that I strive to put together the best blogposts I can.

    I have been nominated for this award once before, so I'm not going to participate again, however, I will make mention of your nomination, and link back to you.

    Thanks again!!! And congrats to you too for YOUR nomination.
