Special Edition: The Liebster Award

-->

First of all, I would like to thank Byddy2Blogger for the nomination. Hours ago, I did not know what a Liebster Award was and now thanks to you, I do.

Now I’m going to put 11 things about myself, answer the 11 questions B2B asked. However, as I am subscribed to only 3 blogs, I’d skip the nomination part.
