An Award...How Cool!

I got a blog award from Nancy at Cozy Stitching Corner.  Thanks Nancy; it's nice to know you enjoy my blog!

Liebster is a German word meaning favorite, dearest or beloved and is awarded by bloggers to newer bloggers with fewer than 200 followers. By accepting this award I:
1. Choose 5 blogs to award the Liebster to.
2. Thank my friend and link back to her.
3. Post the award on my blog and list the bloggers I pass the Liebster on to with their links.
4. Let them know by leaving them a comment.
5. Share 5 random facts about myself that people do not know about me
 
So the 5 blogs I'm passing the award on to are as follows:
 
Minnie at All XX's
Denise at Libstitcher
 
Denise and Colleen are members of the Friday night stitch group I attend when I can and they both have new blogs...check them out!
 
And 5 random facts about me...wow, not so easy but I'll try.
1. My favorite book is Trustee From the Toolroom, by Nevil Shute.
2. I had a poem published in the Junior Beta Club newsletter when I was in junior high (back in the day!)
3. I was on Jeopardy in 1989; I lost but it was a blast!
4. My first counted cross stitch piece was a "diploma" for my sister when she graduated from nursing school.
5. My favorite flower is the violet.
 
Whew!  That was tough!
 
Have a great week, everyone!  Happy stitching!
