The Liebster Award and Silly Things About Me

I’ve recently gotten to know Heather of http://www.glutenfreecat.com. She hosts Raw Foods Thursdays which is a great source of delicious, raw recipes. Not only are the Raw Foods Thursdays recipes delicious but look at this one from Heather.













I want to thank Heather for nominating me for the Liebster Award. The Liebster Award was created to get to know and acknowledge some of the blogs with smaller numbers of followers. Once nominated, the award is passed on to other blogs. This is a great opportunity to get to know more about all the wonderful blogs out there!

Here’s how it works… After receiving the nomination, the blogger must:

• Acknowledge the nominating blogger
• Share 11 random facts about yourself
• Answer 11 questions the nominating blogger has created for you
• List 11 bloggers who have less than 200 followers (as best as you can tell based on the info provided!). They should be bloggers that you believe deserve some recognition and a little blogging love!
• Post 11 questions for the bloggers that you nominated to answer (you cannot nominate the blogger that nominated you)
• Let all of the bloggers know that they have been nomimated
