6) I am in the midst of looking at new cars because I need one

7) I have severe claustrophobia.

The Liebster Award is meant to support blogs with 300 or less followers. Can can be given to any blogger you wish who meets that criteria. 

Pass on the award to other bloggers:

I believe Sunshine Blog Award is the prize awarded to “bloggers who positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere”.

So, in the interest of making this simple, I am passing all four awards on to the following bloggers.  Now, for the record, if you are not into this award thing and want to ignore it....go right ahead.  You will not offend me in the least.  It is not for everybody and that is totally cool.  I like to share more about myself and I like to acknowledge other bloggers who do good things.  So here are my nominations:

Sarah from All this Polish.  She does such perfect, clean work.  I am always amazed.  She participated in the April Showers bring May Flowers Challenge and the April Showers mani was amazing. 

Alyson from Beads.Nails.Food. She finally caved and started a blog.  You should all be grateful.  Now quick go and check out the link and pin the butterfly picture so you will not be the only one left on Pinterest without it.

Jem at Brush up and Polish. What can I say?  It is Shellac that made my nails get longer and prevented me from biting them.  Buying my own CND light put me on the right path and Jem taught me you can actually mix the two together.  If you are a gel person...check her stuff out.

Caitt from Caitt's Nails.  I am hoping that companies latch on to her because she is a fantastic swatcher.  I really cared more about design when I started out but over time I am learning that the reviews of polish are invaluable so you don't waste good money on items that don't present like they do in the bottle.  Caitt gives a great review and her blog has convinced me to make a purchase or two.

Ryan from Dream a Little Dream of Polish.  You literally need to stop reading for a minute and check out her blog.  AMAZING.  Love the inspiration pictures.  She is great at photo processing.  I literally can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Erin and "Riley" from Erin's Beauty Bumbles.  This link to her gradient nails is fantastic.  She is a dog lover, you can tell immediately from her banner and she is super supportive of the blogging community. 

Jewli from Fanning the Fumes. She does some really cool freehand flowers and I am in love with her profile pic on her blog.  Another dog lover.  Yeah!!!!

Tess from Football and Fingernails.  Tess also did the ASBMF's Challenge and offers some great mani's.  The link here was for her spun sugar design that I LOVE.  She is super sweet and you should check her out.

Margaret from Holy Manicures. I could not have come up with a better name because Holy Crap her stuff is good.  She is going to be someone to watch.  AMAZING!!!  Hard to pick just one thing to link to.  And....her profile says she is 18.  I didn't not have a tenth of her talent at 18.  I still don't.

Brianna from Welcome to Brianna's World.  Brianna has to be the single most kindest, sweetest person on the planet.  If I post something that I know sucks and I will not get much in the way of comments...Brianna always finds something nice to say.  You have to check her out and show your support because she will pay it forward ten fold.
