Liebster Award

  


Oh my goodness, so excited!  THANK YOU so much to Trevor and Emily, of the Fuhriman Ranch, for nominating Rodeo Tales for the Liebster Award!  Loved reading their post and seeing some new fun blogs!  You must go check them out!  Emily was such an inspiration and shining example when I started.  Always so great to answer questions and share tips. To this day, still some of my FAVORITE Friends to rodeo with! Love the Furhiman Ranch
 
Rodeo Tales and Gypsy Trails came about by accident.  I used to have an email newsletter that I sent out to friends with fun stories from the rodeo trail.  System upgrades and changing technology, some people were having a hard time being able to see the photos and open documents.  A simple solution....post them on a blog and the rest is history.  The email format has been eliminated and now when I have a fun story or fabulous to share....I just click publish!  Love to go back and see favorite stories, recipes, and amazing people stories that I've been able to share!

The Rules:

1. We must post 11 random things about ourselves.

2. We must answer the questions the nominator set for me.

3. We must create 11 questions for the people we nominate.

4. We must choose 5-10 blogs that we love ( with less than 200 followers) and link them to my post and let them know they were nominated.

5. No tag backs.
