The Liebster Award

Can i just start by saying that the name of this award reminds me of my little brothers leapster? Anyways, this is the first time I have ever even heard of the Liebster, but I think its kind of a cute idea! I was nominated by Morgan over at Reece's Pieces! 

{What is the Liebster Award?}
The Liebster Award is for blogs that have 200 followers or less. The word "Liebster" is German for kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, valued, cute, pleasant, endearing and welcome.

here are the liebster rules:
1. list 11 facts about yourself
2. answer the 11 questions the blogger who nominated you left
3. ask 11 new questions for those you nominate
4. choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers to nominate
5. go to each bloggers page and let them know about the award
6. thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog

{11 facts about myself}

1: When I was ten years old I cut my pinky almost all the way off and I now have a scar that looks exactly like a lightning bolt. I share a birthday with both Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling so I think thats kind of a sweet coincidence. 
2: I really want to learn photoshop and illustrator. I don't want to be a graphic designer or anything I just find it really interesting and fun. 
3: I love board games, card games, and puzzles.
4: My favorite color is gray.
5: Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author, I have read almost all his books.
6: I love to sew and make quilts along with my mom and sisters. The first year we started we made about 25 quilts. 
7: I go to bed in a full on sweatsuit and socks with the covers pulled up to my chin no matter what season it is. My husband thinks i'm ridiculous.
8: When I write papers or blog posts no one can watch me type, I get embarrassed. They can read it as many times as they want when I get done, but not while I am working on it.
9: I am the oldest of six kids and I seriously love everything about having a big family, its the greatest.
10: I am an awful cook. The worst part is that I don't even have the desire to improve. 
11: I sleep talk and my husband loves it. He tries to carry on conversations with me and sometimes I wake up and get mad.
