Liebster Award

So I got a FB wall post from Cara at Fox Claws letting me know that she gave me the Liebster Award, and that "tag, you're it".  Whaaaa?  

So after reading the link to her blog, I'm still not sure what this award is, but it looks like you qualify if your blog has less than 200 followers.  Okee dokee.  I just did my nails so I have no new manicure to post about, so I accept this award and will follow the rules: 



1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.
2. They must also answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them.
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.
4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.
5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.
6. There's no tag backs.
 

11 things about me!
1.  I was born in Hawaii, and I live in Sunny Southern California
2.   I started my own little business last year "upcycling" pre-loved sweaters into fantastically fun "fairy coats".  Check out my "Intricate Simplicity" Etsy shop HERE
3.  I have a motorcycle license, and used to ride a Harley Davidson
4.  I was a band nerd in high school
5.  I have 2 little boys aged 7 & 9, and I love them to bits!!  They're such good, smart dudes and I'm sooo proud of them!
6.  I am the first person in my extended family to graduate from college
7.  I work in Human Resources, and got into that field by accident :-)
8.  I'm a die-hard "Rennie" and I love attending Renaissance Faires and Festivals!  I sew my own costumes and everything!  Steampunk is calling me!
