Giving Thanks ~ The Liebster Award

Thank you to my friend, Ruby, at Girlfriends are Like Shoes for nominating me for the Liebster Award. Many people who are nominated often to not post a response to the nomination on their blog.  I think it's important to write something, even if it's short and sweet, as a way of saying thank you to the one who thought enough of you to award a nomination, but also to help other fellow bloggers who are hoping to grow and develop their blogs by giving them a vote of confidence!

The Liebster Award is an award for new bloggers with less than 200 followers. (or close) It's a great way for bloggers and readers alike to find new and interesting people in our beauty/blogging community! 

There are rules to this award, so without further ado -

- Each person must post eleven things about themselves.

- Answer the eleven questions the tagger has set for you.

- Choose eleven people and tag them in this post.

- Follow the tagger and visit at least three nominees.

Okay, let's get cracking' on these rules!!

1.  I'm completely in love with my husband.
