Liesbster Blog Award Thanks


Hi Crafters

Many Thanks to two very special ladies whom have been alongside me since I started on DT's and have both awarded me with below award.

for awarding me the Liebster Blog Award.


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, passing this on will be difficult as there are so many wonderful small blogs that have inspired me. It will be a challenge to chose only 5. However, as needs must, here are 5 wonderful and inspiring blogs/ bloggers that I would love to pass the Liebster Blog award on to (in no particular order).
The 5 bloggers I would like to award are;


Woo     http://the-craftymonkey.blogspot.com/  -    Woo's gave me my first role on a Dt , she has given me guidance, inspiration, kindness, always there if you have a question.     I know Woo has already been awarded this but I feel I need to show my appreciation of a lovely lady.


Pat      http://pipspastimes.blogspot.com/   -   Pat's creative work given me the inspiration.  
 Her lovely comments help me to continue my work each week.


Marie     http://cardmakingbird.blogspot.com/ -    Marie's lovely warm welcome and guidance last year when I started my second Dt posting at SGC, she helped me to grow in confidence


Jacq     http://thepoodlesdoodles.blogspot.com/ -    Jacq's gave me my first Digi stamp to try, with this help I began my love for them.        Her confidence in me has helped me to show my colouring  skills.   Also to award this to say thank you for asking me to be part of her Dt.


Bettina L    http://bettandshobbykrok.blogspot.com/  -    Bettina's been alongside me on 2 of my Dt posts her help and comments gives me the inspiration to continue and her work is just beautiful.




Many other ladies I would like this award to go but they have more followers than the rules allow but I would like to say thank you as well.


Cheers
