A little over a week ago, I was excited to be nominated for the Leibster Award. By Linda G Hill . Thank you, VERY much!
Then I saw the list below for what is required. Yikes! And what is a Leibster Award anyway? I’ve sat on this for a week and finally decided to do a Google search. The first entry is a blog by Sopphey who was kind enough to share her research into the topic. There you can find the history of the Leibster Award and a bit about why it is there.
List 11 random facts about you. The following are MY randomnesses. What are YOURS?

Okay, the plarny items were all that special, but I think my loved ones knew I loved them. And I had fun in creating these gifts.
