Liebster Award

First, I want to say "thank you, Ineke!" for nominating me for this blog award.
Liebster is a German word meaning favourite, dearest or beloved. The Liebster Blog Award is awarded by bloggers to other new bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers, to help spread the word about their blogs and to help them gain wider recognition.
The Liebster award comes with four conditions that each recipient must satisfy when accepting:
1. Choose 5 up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers to award the Liebster to.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blog so they know about the award.
4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.

OK, #2 and #3 - done.  Now choosing 5 blogs...very difficult, but I will give it a try:

1.  Anne Marieke
2. Giovanna (although I am not sure how many followers she may have)
3. and here is where I got stuck.  Evidently, out of all the blogs I read, there are none that have less than 200 followers.  This is the best I can do for now..sorry.:(

Now five facts about myself...
1.  I love white chocolate (I know, I know, it's not really 'chocolate'...but it sure tastes good!)
2.  I hate lines...at the grocery store, the bank, etc.
3.  I am half German.  My mother was born in Berlin, and married my father during the Korean Conflict.
4.  I went to art school for one year.  (Would have gone longer, but that's what my parents could afford at the time.
5. I have a very good friend I have known since Kindergarten. (Waving 'hi!' to Helen!)

OK, that's it for now...that was tougher than I thought it would be.
