leibster award nominations

woohoo! now i get to nominate my fave blogs for a leibster award! the rules follow below:

 

HOW TO ACCEPT THE AWARD: The Liebster Blog Award is a way to recognize blogs who have less than 200 followers.  Liebster is a German word that means beloved and valued.  Here are the rules for accepting the award:



1.      Thank the person who nominated you and include a link back to their blog.

2.      List 11 random facts about yourself.

3.      Answer the 11 questions given to you.

4.      Create 11 questions for the bloggers you nominate.

5.      Choose 11 bloggers with 200 or fewer followers to nominate and include links to their blogs.

 allrighty then, in no particular order, here are my nominations:

SciFiChick over at Bacon and Eggs

Sweet Sandy over at Oklahoma Transient

Jane from Rational Preparedness

Michele from Mystic Mud

Linda from Practical Parsimony

Sue from The Little Acre that Could

JUGM from Tales from the Clothesline

Jamie from My Adventures in Self-Reliance

Jen from the Double Nickel Farm

Dani from Eco-Footprint: South Africa

Wendy from Little House in the Big Wood
 ------

an honourable mention goes out to everyone on  our blogroll! if you aren't listed above, i'm sorry but the rules say only 11 blogs; otherwise you would all be listed! and i know that all of the blogs i listed are female ---- but i just can't see Harry Flashman, Duke, Stephen, Pioneer Preppy, MDR or Senior getting all hyped up and playing - bahahahahah!

so now onto my questions:

1. what do you like best about blogging?

2. what is your favourite time of year and why?

3. what do you want to be when you grow up? (we are all still kids at heart!)

4. what is your favourite animal and why?

5. if you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

6. it's a lazy, rainy sunday - what are you going to do for the day?

7. what is the most exciting project you have planned for the rest of the year, or next year?

8. what is your simplest pleasure?

9. what's the best meal you have ever had, either at home, at friends' or family's houses, or at a restaurant?

10. are you a cat or dog person?

11. what do you like most about yourself?


------

i think these questions will help us all get to know each other a little better! i hope that you enjoy them!

  7. kymber - Thank you so much for the compliment you have paid me. I am honoured.

    However, I have been given the Liebster award twice before, and feel greedy in accepting it a third time.

    Please, my friend, could I ask you to redirect this amazing compliment to someone who has not had it bestowed on them yet?

    Bless you. And Thank You once again :)
    Dani

    1. Dani - no worries! you are so very welcome and i think that your blog is one of the finest! especially since you are half-way around the world from me and most of our readers - your blog gives us a chance to learn about life and challenges that most of us would never encounter. i will leave the nomination as is - so that people who may not know of your blog can find you and learn about "treading softly upon the earth". but i thank you for acknowledging your award. you are so very welcome!
