The Lovely Liebster Award (s)

I thought I’d be time savvy and combine the two, so I hope that my nominators are cool with this. I’m being purely sensible as I haven’t had much time to sit down and write the things I want to this week due to a jam-packed schedule. I didn’t want to go too long without responding though.

The awards are One Lovely Blog Award and The Liebster Award and they both have their own rules. Since I’m combining the two, my rules are a bit of a mish mash:

• Post the award(s) on your blog
• Thank the blogger(s) who presented this award and link back to their blog
• Nominate 11 bloggers who you feel deserve this award and who have less than 200 followers
• Answer 11 questions posted by the presenter and ask your nominees 11 questions (the last one is via The Liebster)

First up, thank you to both Hayley Margaret of A Stitch to Scratch and Jillian of The Pink Panther Snipes Again. Both of these great blogs have come to me via the Blogging 101’s Class of September ’14 and I’m really happy about it.

Hayley is a crafty little sew-er with a healthy respect for Taylor Swift (me too) and a talent for just about anything creative it seems, while Jillian has a snarky tongue that I very much appreciate, that and her ongoing relationship with Netflix and film reviewing (read this, it’s so far up my street, you don’t even know). Check out both blogs ‘cos they’re ace.

Blogging 101 has been great for getting communication flowing between new bloggers and I love it for that. But on to the rest of this post!

My answers to 11 Questions from My Nominator:

1. What was the last thing you borrowed from a library (or from a friend)?
   My husband recently railroaded me into reading a sci-fi novel he loves, called Altered Carbon. I’ve not really into reading Sci-fi/Fantasy but this is really good. A kind of futuristic, steam-punky detective novel.
2. Which ‘80s pop culture icon are you? Or, if you aren’t as addicted to online quizzes as I am, which ‘80s pop culture icon would you invite to a party?
   I bloody love a Buzz Feed quiz and I’m Madonna, baby!
3. Favorite book? Or, if too difficult, favorite book you’ve read recently?
   I am obsessed with the Millenium Trilogy but I think my favourite book (today) is A Confederacy of Dunces. I just really love Ignatius J. Reilly.
4. Cake or pie (and why)?
   Cake, all day every day. Because it’s cake, why else?
5. Favorite post you’ve written or are at least somewhat proud of?
   I was very proud of the one I wrote about my brother.
6. A Youtube video that always makes you laugh?
   Well, this is my

My 11 Questions for my 11 Nominees:

1. Why do you think Britney sings

Have fun anyone who chooses to do this! If you’re on my list it means I’m into you and your blog… thanks for brightening my days <3

NB: The original rules for both of these awards says you have to share facts about yourself. I know it’s lame but I skipped this bit and removed it from the list. It’s because I’ve done it here and I couldn’t think of 11 brand new ones… If you want to give me 11 of your own, please do. I love facts.
