Liebster Awards

I was just nominated by Chelsea from Get Your Crap Together.  I am so honored and very excited!  Thank you very much Chelsea!

You may be wondering, what is the Liebster award?  The award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers.

Here are the rules:

1. Say Thank  you to your nominator and link back!
2. Answer 11 questions from the nominator
3. List 11 random facts about yourself
4. Present the award to 11 other bloggers who have less than 200 followers, or who you think deserves to be followed.  Leave a comment so they know it!
5. Copy and paste the blog award onto your blog to show it off!

Questions for me:

1. What is your favorite color and why? I love bright colors!  The brighter the better and I cannot choose just one.  (Yes if you ask Eric he would actually get that right)
2. Who is your "blog"spiration? I have two, Pinterest and my house.  Check out my weekly Pinspiration Fridays (every friday at 11) if you haven't already.  My other inspiration is my house because there is nothing there.  It is a blank slate and I can do whatever I want!
3. Why do you enjoy blogging? I enjoy sharing my ideas with everyone.  I love crafting but I want to share it with others.  If I made it and love it, there has to be someone else that would love it too!  
4. What is your dream vacation? Touring Europe!  Especially Italy, Italy is gorgeous (check out my profile pic)!
5. What color is your toothbrush? Or do you have a character toothbrush?  Orange because it is bright!
6. How do you keep your blog fresh and new? It's easy, it is new!  But really, if I think of something, why not try it out.  The worst thing that can happen is no one likes it and I change to what I was doing before!
7. Would you rather be stuck on a desert island or in a blizzard? Desert island.  I hate being cold!
8. What kind of car do you drive....or do you wish you could drive? Toyota Camry 2003, its my baby.  I don't want another car, even if it was a newer version.
9. Who is your favorite person in the whole world?  This is a trick question, I have to say Eric (Love you!).
10. Who is your celebrity crush? (And don't say you don't have one, we all do!)  I have two.  Channing Tatum and Zac Efron.  I will watch any movie as long as either of them are in it!
11. What advice would you give to someone just starting their blog today? First is patience, spend the first month developing your blog and learn how to join Linky Parties.  Second,  never compare yourself to larger bloggers because they have had a lot more time to develop their blog.

11 facts:

1. I can't drink coffee but I love the smell of it!
2. I am graduating with a major in Mathematics and Computer Science
3. If I could wear a dress every day I would
4. I hate wearing grey but I love decorating with grey
5. I love naps and would take one if I could every day
6. I had skin cancer so I have a scar on the left side of my face (a lot of people don't notice which is a great compliment)
7. I am the shortest person in my family (Never even grew past my mother).  As my brother would say, thanks MiMi (but he is 14 years old and 5'8" so I don't know why he is complaining)
8. I played volleyball through high school
9. I only eat white meat unless it is lathered in BBQ sauce.  Hamburgers are okay but I would rather have a piece of chicken!
10. My all time favorite movie is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
11. I love Welch's white grape juice
