{I Won A} Liebster Award!

Liebster Award

Wendy at Love Hylton honored me with a nomination for the Liebster award. How awesome is that?! It is an honor when other bloggers notice you; this is a super huge blog world! The award must go to blogs with less than 200 followers and is a way to help blogs get new followers (which is something I totally need help with).

So, here the are rules as follows:

1. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.
2. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you, then create 11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.
3. Choose 11 new bloggers (with less than 200 followers) to pass the award to and link them in your post.
4. Go to their page and tell them about the award.
5. No tag backs.


11 random facts about me:

1. I really like to talk.
2. I love to listen to music, all the time.
3. I sing showtunes, a lot. Bill has put a ban on them when he's around, hahah.
4. I'm kind of addicted to Solitare and Bejewled. (Seriously. I'm playing Bejeweled right now...)
5. I really like to take pictures.
6. I met the Plain White T's once.
7. I am an internet junkie.
8. I like to write (obviously).
9. Mason jars are my absolute favourite things ever.
10. I spell a lot of words the British way (colour, favourite, honour, etc.)
11. I love American History.


And, now, here are the answers to the questions from Wendy at Love Hylton.

1. What is your number one goal for this year? 
Right now, my main goal is to blog. Blog, blog, blog, and BLOG. I've put a lot of steam into this little baby, and I want to see myself do it for a whole year. That's my big goal. That, and to find a job I really like.

2. What is your most favorite hobby (other than blogging)?
Reading, or making stuff. I like to paint and scrapbook, as well.

3. What is your favorite dessert recipe?
I really like these chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies we have in the house right now that Bill made for me.

4. What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Successfully cooking a dinner that my boyfriend's entire family loved, and winning Most Imporved in Algebra III at graduation my senior year.

5. What life lesson do you find yourself having to learn over and over again?


6. If you had an extra hour in the day what would you do?
I would probably write more, honestly. Not just blog stuff, or creatively, but my recipes. I tell myself every day that I'll get it done, but I don't. That, and read more. I need to seriously dedicate more time to reading.

7. What is your favorite accessory in your wardrobe?
Hmm, I don't think I really have one. I desperately need a new wardrobe, hahah. I wear the same thing like, every day, it seems.

8. What music is in your CD player? 
Wow, I don't even have a CD player anymore... And I don't think there's anything in the car CD player. But when/if I get a car anytime soon and it doesn't have an AUX port for my iPod, you best believe that I'll be burning mix CDs all the time, hahah!

9. What is your favorite scent when purchasing a new candle, what are you most drawn to?
Sweet scents, or fall scents. I love me some Pumpkin Spice!

10. When did you start blogging and why?
I've been blogging on and off for the past four or five years, but just recently became srs~ about it, you know?

Here are the blogs I am passing the award to:

Amanda at {Rhyme & Ribbons}
Paulina at {Discovering Simply Me}
Ami at {a champagne dream}
Thyme at {In My Own Sweet Thyme}
Jesika at {Somewhere That's Green: Reasons Why I Love My Husband}
Katie at {The Hessian Prince}

Unfortunately, most of the blogs I follow are already over 200 followers...by, like, a lot. So I could only nominate six people~

But here are the questions I'd like y'all to answer!
1. What is one of your favourite quotes?
2. Who is your favourite author?

3. Do you have a good beauty tip?
4. Do you have a favourite quote or saying?
5. What is your guilty pleasure?
6. When did you start blogging and why?
7. What is one movie that you could watch over and over again and never get tired of?
8. If you could be any fictional character, who would you be?
9. What is your favourite joke? 
10. What is a goal that you are working to achieve right now?
11. What do you miss most about your childhood?

    1. My mister is born (and partially raised) in Texas. I was born here in New Jersey, but spent more time travelling to see my family as a kid in MD and VA, so I consider myself a southerner. My daddy was realllll southern. Then again, southern isn't just where you come from, it can also be a way of life! ;)

      TX to NY, wheeew! Big difference there. Whereabouts?

    2. I 100% agree! Proud to be from the south and proud to be a Texan! We came from the Dallas/Fort Worth area in January and we are now in the suburbs of Albany. Really loving the beauty and diversity up here. Everyone says I'm silly and should just wait for the spring and summertime but I still think its great even now!

    3. I want to say Bill is from Houston, but I can't quite remember for sure.

      I'm glad you're liking Albany, though! What caused you to move up there?

    1. It's part of the award process. The questions I answered were the ones that the person who nominated me for it gave. Then you give 11 questions.

  5. I was nominated as well a while back but I never went through with the post. I'm actually not entirely sure that I understand what it's about. Does somebody actually win? Or is it just a way to spread blog love?

    1. Hey Jules!

      I don't think it's a true award award. It's only for blogs who have less than 200 followers, so I'm pretty sure it's just a way to share blog love, really!

      Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Congratulations Sweetie! I see a book in the future LOL! (think Jile and Julia...its how she started out)
    You write well, as I always knew.
    Oh, and you would be considered an 11th Generation Virginian...You have direct ties to Nelson County, VA, where so many of the cousins still live, and Aunt Pettie's farm is located.
    Love ya!
