Liebster Blog Award

A very happy hello to all my lovelies from me!

I hope you are all having a good start to the New Year.

I have some lovely news to share. Just before Christmas I was awarded the Liebster Blog Award from Lindsay Crafty Monster 81

http://craftymonster81.blogspot.com/

it was a lovely surprise when Lindsay told me about it.

I haven't heard of this before but Lindsay explained that its a way of people to recognize upcoming bloggers and show them that you value their posts.

Liebster is a German word for beloved or dearest and the Liebster Award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers but the awarded blog stands out as being valued and appreciated by the person granting the award.

Liebster Blog Awards rules are these:

To accept the award you must link back to the person who gave it to you and thank them for thinking of you.

You must post this award to your blog.

You must then in turn give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.

You must leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know.

I think this is a really lovely idea, it just shows how much we value our friends in the blogging crafty world.

So, I would like to firstly say a massive thank you to Lindsay for thinking of me and awarding me this. Lindsay's work is beautiful and well worth following. I know she has just won a Crafty Blogger's Network challenge. Check out her blog it really is worth a visit.

Finally, my lovely friend Carole.  Aka Cazro, if not for her I would not have been able to do my blog. Carole was the one who talked me through what I needed to do to start off with. A beautiful lady, we met on a Craft Forum and have had the pleasure of meeting at a Crafty Meet that she organises. A friend for life and a beautiful one at that too.

Thank you so much to Lindsay for sending me this award.

lots of love
