Thanks to my nominator (Mrs. Chance).
Thank you so much Mrs. Chance for given me this wonderful award. When I first had the message from you, I didn't really believe it. I mean United States is sooo BIG, and it wasn't really on my mind that someone from U.S.A would find my blog inspiring. I'm so excited and still very grateful and proud.Thank you Mrs. Chance.

My answers to my nominator (Mrs. Chance's) questions:

1. When you were little, say 5 or so, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I have two favorite animals. A cat because it is very independent and a dog, because it is always happy to see you.
