Loving, Living, and Liebstering
I am always glad to turn the calendar page to February for several reasons. First all, once January is past I begin to rally and anticipate spring, which, of course is next month, and spring leads into summer. Secondly, there’s Valentine’s Day, and although I’m not real keen on a forced holiday I do like that it’s about love, appreciation, and chocolate. Plus, it’s fun to see all those cute red and pink heart decorations when shopping (and there are no annoying overdone Christmas songs blasting all over).
So with my happy dance getting underway it was pleasant to open my blog notification up to see http://artsandyouthlove.wordpress.com/ had nominated me for the Liebster Award. Lovely! Thank you!!

4. Copy and Paste the blog award on your blog
Questions Answered:
- Do you like answering random questions? If given time to think about the answer, I’m okay with it.
