Liebster Blog Award

I'm sending a thank you shout-out to my friend Diane! She awarded me the Liebster Award :-)


What is the Liebster award? Liebster means "favourite" in German, and the award is given by peers to fellow bloggers who have been able to inspire despite their small following. Once accepted, an award recipient must "pay it forward" by completing the following steps:

1) Post the award to your blog. 
2) Link back to the person's blog who gave it to you and thank them. 
3) Give the award to five bloggers with less than 200 followers that you appreciate and value. 
4) Leave a comment on the five blogs you chose to let them know that they have been given the Liebster award.

Here are five blogs that I feel deserve to receive the Liebster award:


1.  Regan - Charmed Stamping
I 'met' Regan through Sassy Studios Designs - they have some fabulously sassy images!  I think we are long lost sisters LOL  Love her style and creative thinking when it comes to making cards and being crafty.

2. Elizabeth - Softpencil Studios
 Elizabeth, the owner and designer of Softpencil Studios, makes adorable stamps! She started with digis, and then moved on to have rubber and clear stamps of her digis, and now has a whole line of products from stickers to rub-ons to decals.  (oh, she's having a blog hop coming up soon! Watch her site for details!)

3. Kelly - Finding Time to Create
Want to check out some really cool ideas for using your Silhouette (or Cameo) cutting machine? This is THE place to look!  Kelly has such fantastic ideas, and she often has tutorials so you can create your own masterpieces!  Thank you Kelly for all your inspiring ideas! :-)

4. Chris - Visual Designs by Chris
More Silhouette (and other cutters) designs!  Chris does a great job creating new files all the time! Plus she's got a slew of other creators at her shop, so you can find any design you're looking for!

5. Diane - My Useless Crafts and Such
Ok, so technically, Diane can't really get this award from me since she's the one who gave it to me, but she'd be the top of my list if I had received the award first!  Diane and I have been friends forever!  We have very similar likes/dislikes when it comes to crafting, although I'm way less OCD! (right Di?? lol)  Love ya!

My first blog award!!!

Woo hoo!  I got my very first blog award!  I'm so excited - I feel like I've made it in the blogging world now LOL  Thank you Elizabeth!! 

These are the rules about this award,

1) Send a thank you to the person who nominated you and include their link.
2) To accept this award, answer 7 random facts about yourself.
3) Pass the award on to at least 8 other awesome blog buddies

Hmmm... 7 random facts...  let's see
 
1) I LOVE chocolate...I mean I really love it!
2) I have been married for almost 13 years and I have two kids - no pets.
3) I have been teaching myself how to knit.
4) My latest love is photography - I'm hoping to learn lots more about it soon!
5) I wish I had more time to craft and then blog about it.
6) My family and I love camping!
7) The older I get, the less I like winter...I'm pretty much against it but I can't change it. Oh well!  In my perfect world winter would only last from after Thanksgiving until the New Year, just so we have a white Christmas, and after that we'd go right into spring. 
 
Hmmm.. what if I don't have 8 other people to send to?  Well, I'll do my best...
 
1) First and foremost is my bestest blogger friend (outside of blogging as well!) Diane
2) Debbie
3) Kelly
4) Rivka
5) Meg
6) Wanda
7) and if she weren't the one to give it to me, I would have given this to Elizabeth for sure! :-)
