Liebster award

What a lovely idea - my good friend Michelle put this on her  blog and was kind enough to nominate me as one of her 5 blogs :-)  So here I am passing on the favour -

Here's how it works (and I admit to hitting 'copy & paste' for this):

This award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers, in the hopes that it will bring many new friends/followers.

Leibster is German and means 'dearest' or 'beloved' but it can also mean 'favourite'. The idea of the Leibster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. So, in the spirit of good fun I am passing this award on to five other bloggers. Please stop by and visit them.

The Rules are:

1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

2. Reveal your five picks for the award and let them know.

3. Post the award on your blog.

4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogshare-other bloggers.

5. Finally and the best rule of all..........have fun and spread the love!
My favorites for this award are listed below. Click on over to their sites and take a look!

So, after a fair bit of thought, here are my 5 nominations -

1. My good friend Vicki at thebiskitbarrel - she has been a scrapping inspiration to me and she also runs my favourite online craft shop.

2. Lou - theteacherspett - a fellow team member over at UKScrappers, and a talented crafter.

3. Dawn - auroradawn - also a teamie on UKS

4. Leah - running a CJ (circle journal) over on UKS, and this is her blog

5. An altered life - a blog I've enjoyed following.
