I had the brilliant idea (well, I think it's brilliant lol) of going back to when I first received the Liebster Award and seeing how the blogs I nominated are doing in present time... In case you don't know anything about the Liebster Award here's the facts: You are nominated by a blogger who was previously nominated for the award. You share 11 facts about yourself, answer 11 questions that the blogger who nominated you gave you, create 11 questions for your nominees, then you nominate 11 people for the award, and finally (in your nomination post) you thank the blogger who nominated you! It's all about the number 11! A VERY important rule to this award: You have to have less than 200 GFC followers in order to receive it.
If you're interested here's my First Liebster Award Nomination Post. Blue Eyed Beauty Blog was nominated for this award 3 times before I crossed over the 200 follower line.
My first nomination came from Julie @ Hey, Mommy Chocolate Milk (link goes to post where I was nominated). Julie is an Apostolic Pentecostal blogger & mommy who shares a LOT of creative things for kids. Currently she is very close to 500 followers! On Bloglovin she has 120+ followers.

Congratulations on your nominations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Helen on being nominated! It is fun looking back and seeing how much your blog has grown! Thanks so much for linking up today...have a blessed rest of your week!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Helen... I recently got rid of GFC a few months ago. But I had a little over 1700 followers there. My sidebar got extremely wacky and I had no idea how to get it back. Luckily, it got fixed with some help from a friend, and everything is good to go now!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That's a LOT! lol. Yeah I was wondering what was going on because several times I'd go to visit your blog and it wouldn't DO anything. It's like it froze up or something. I really like the new look you have going on now though!
