LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD

This morning I received a gift from my friend Chiara, she gave me the LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD :-)

Chiara and I met on a social forum years ago and managed to see each other in person only one time, three and a half years ago when we visited Holland. We share a lot in common and I consider her one of the best person I met through the web.

What's the award?

I found a nice definition in an other blog "Liebster Award is no real award. There are no judges, no special rules. No website with an official team to congratulate you and hold your hand. It's mostly what you want it to be. If you receive the award, you can 1) accept it and 2) pass it along. It's that easy"

How does it work?

 According to the rules of the Liebster Award, I am to answer 11 questions posed at Chiara website, choose 11 people to whom I will pass on this honor, and then make up 11 more questions which the new recipients must then in turn answer. I've  clearly thanks Chiara for the nominee and tell her I wrote this post. Piece of cake, eh?

So, her we go...
