The Liebster Award... blog sharing

So I was reading through all the blogs I follow and found that I had been nominated by Stephannie and her blog for something called the 'Liebster award'. Thanks so much chica!

According to Stephannie this is what she found out:

The Liebster Award
* It is for Bloggers with 1000 followers or less
* The word 'Liebster' is German and stands for things like Lovely, Kind, caring and Beloved.
* The Award helps bloggers get out there.

Here are the simple rules: 
1. You have to link back the person who nominated you
2. You have to answer the 11 questions set by the person who nominated you
3. You have to nominate 11 bloggers with 1000 followers or less and notify them of the nomination (not the person who nominated you)
