Liebster Award! Whaaat?!

Wow. We were nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Alyssa over at Oh Sew Crafty Life! We can hardly believe it. We still can't believe that people actually READ our blog... I mean, besides our mother-in-law!

To be honest, I don't think either of us knew what a Liebster Award was, but it's an awesome way to find new blogs that have less than 200 followers-- and to show them some love!

Here are the Rules of The Liebster Award:
1. Link back to the nominating blog.
2. Answer the questions given by the nominator.
3. Give 11 random facts about yourself.
4. Nominate 5-11 other blogs with fewer than 200 followers.
5. Ask the nominees 11 new questions.
6. Contact the nominees to congratulate them and let them know they were nominated.

Here are the questions that we were given to answer from Alyssa:
