Liebster Blog Award!

Good afternoon, 

I was very lucky to be nominated for the Liebster Blog Award

By the fab Wendy F

Thank you so much for thinking of me x

The idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readership.

To accept the award, you must:

1) Link back to the person who gave it and thank them for thinking of you.

2) Post the award to your blog.

3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.

4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know.

"Liebster" in German means "dearest", so to carry on the Liebster tradition, I am going to pass the award on to 5 people who's blogs have been an inspiration to me and my crafting. 

 

To be honest, there are so many wonderful small blogs that have inspired me, 

It has been very difficult to chose only 5. 

 But, here are 5 wonderful and inspiring blogs/ bloggers that I would love to pass the Liebster Blog award on to (in no particular order).

 Kathleen of craftykatdesigns

Sandy of sandyscraftybits 

Karen of karenssparkleandglitter 

Laura of lozadoodle 

Lorna of craftylornas 

Thanks again to Wendy for nominating me x
