I want to thank Genevieve and Cupcake for awarding me this, ah, award. I am honored to have been picked. And surprised, being new at this and all. Maybe recognition at this early stage in the game is good. Anyway,with recognition comes duty. I happily comply.
One rule of accepting the Liebster Blog award is to tell five things about myself that you don’t already know. Here it goes:
1. I’m a hippie at heart…
2. And old enough to remember those days.
3. I’ve been married thrice. Third time is a charm.
4. I graduated college when I was 50 and yes I started when I was 46. (I was a slow starter.)
5. I was Made in Italy, but born in America.
The second rule for accepting the Liebster Blog award is to pass it on to 5 unassuming, but deserving souls. I will pass this on, and I REALLY don’t want to seem ungrateful, but these award things are stressful for me, so if you feel the same, I don’t want you to feel any obligation (other than to thank me for thinking of you) so here it goes – again…
This award should go to bloggers with fewer than 200 followers. I don’t know if this is the case and I should be awarding to 5 not 3, but like I said – STRESSFUL!
Dear Bliary 
Thanks for sharing your award with me! I have received this one before – but am honored anytime anyone thinks of me (truly!). If you’d like to read my post where I accepted and forwarded on the Liebster, you can do so here: http://smilekiddo.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/accepting-accolades/. Thanks again! 🙂
Sorry for being redundant. 😦 I thought I checked but at that point I was seeing double. I am a regular, to quote Pour Your Art Out blogger, computer moron. Thanks for getting back to me. Gem 🙂
