Liebster Blog Award~

I have been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by Carri over at Simply Done Wright and then yesterday by Jessi at Practically Functional.

What is the Liebster Award you ask?

The Liebster Award is given to up and coming bloggers with less than 200 followers. According to Carri’s post, Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome.

Thank you so much Carri & Jessi for choosing me. I have to be honest I’m such a new blogger I had not heard of the Liebster Award. I feel very honored to be nominated. As part of the nomination, Carri asked me to share five or six random facts about myself. So here they are:

1- I went zip lining for the first time ever this year. Not just once but a circuit one that went through water. That’s huge because I don’t like things where I’m not in control. Lot’s of trust issues learned.

2- I’m an eclectic person. I like to change things often so my main pieces in my home have to be neutral but my accessories will have lots of color and will change often.

3- I LOVE to Read. I LOVE books. I love buying them. I have a huge unorganized library. If my children ever ask for a book, I buy one. I even love my Kindle. I always have one or two books going at once. I don’t read cover to cover w/non fiction. I start where I’m interested. I’ve also been known to read the end of a good fiction before I get there.

4- My husband and I were married when I was 16 and he was 18. We will celebrate our 35th year this November. Lot’s of stories there!

5- My husband and I love to garden. We have 9 huge flower garden beds and one big veggie garden. He does most of the maintenance.

So now onto the rules of the Award :

As I was looking around for potential bloggers to nominate (such a difficult task as there are so many) I found a great list of rules on one. So, if I have nominated you please complete the following 5 steps:

1. Post about your win on your blog.
2. Link back to the blogger who presented you with the award and follow their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award button to your blog (you can right-click on the Liebster label from my page, save it to your computer, then save to your blog).
4. Present The Liebster Award to 5 blogs that have fewer than 200 followers that you think deserve to be recognized.
5. Let them know by leaving them a comment on their blog.

Pleas Share 5 Random Facts about yourself.

Sometimes it’s a little hard to tell how many followers a blog has. And does the award mean RSS subscribers only, or do Facebook followers count as well? I’m not super clear on the concept, but I’ve done my best!

The Five Blogs I Nominate are: ( in no particular order)
