Well whose the lucky one? Nope I didn't win the lotto but I've been lucky enough to have been nominated today for the Liebster Blog Award...not once but twice this week by seperate bloggers!
So what does this award mean....The Liebster Blog Award originated in Germany. Liebster means dearest or beloved, and Liebe is love. So I feel very thrilled that people feel I deserve this award. I love blogging but it wouldn't mean anything without followers and people taking time out of their busy lives to stop awhile and read what I'm nattering about. So thank you all for being there....
I'm going to incorporate the two kind people who have decided to pass this award on to me in the same post....instead of doing it seperately. I hope they won't mind?
Firstly there's Cynthia at Cottage Remnant who has a lovely blog with lots of beautiful artwork (oh and she loves pink...no she REALLY loves pink) and in fact she's a whiz on blog designs. She kindly helped produce my new button on my sidebar and she'd love to have you visit.
And then there's VonnyK who will have you laughing at her tales, but also blown away at her artistic talent.
If you have a pet...she does amazing pet portraits...but then she does so much more too...just take a look.
This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. Once you've been nominated, you award it to five blogs that you like that have fewer than 200 followers, to encourage new visitors to visit these blogs.
RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE
Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have fewer than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award!
PAY IT FORWARD
There are so many bloggers who have inspired and helped me to date and to find just five was very hard. Here are my five choices of blogs ( in no particular order, as I love them all...
1.Darla from sea to mountains
2.Stefanie Stark
3.Gloria Zucaro
4.Stamp Laugh Play
5.Arnoldo Romero
It’s been incredibly difficult to chose only 5 blogs, because I would like to include so many more, but they are already so successful having over 200 followers (...I can only dream....) Anyway take a peek at the blogs listed above and see what you find....I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised and possibly meet a new friend :D
How sweet of you to think of me. Thank you, I posted the badge and a link to your blog this morning. I am breaking the rules about passing it on though, I directed everyone to my blog list on my sidebar instead. Those are my "visit everyday" blogs. I'm off to visit your other award winners.

Hi Darla,
DeleteThat's a good idea about directing everyone to your sidebar. I feel so guilty that I wasn't able to name more people (but I suppose I could have had 10 with winning the award twice) but then it still would be difficult to pick one over the other. :$
I'm so pleased that you are happy about the award...I know some bloggers don't like them.
I hope your week is going well...I'll have to dash because I'm trying to finish my APR piece and get a post out. It's all go....xoxo
Congrats Neesie! I love your button and will be grabbing it!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kay
Oooooeeeeerrrrr Misses...hehe
DeleteYou've made my day! Thanks :D
Sorry I haven't entered WOYWW this week...I wasn't getting to do any art because of all the visiting, so I decided that I may just enter once a month. After all the art is supposed to be the main thing isn't it?
I hope life is treating you well...we haven't nattered for ages.
I'll pop over to see what you've been up to. Stand by your beds!!!! ;D
You are a peach! Thank you so much. I will post your button on my blog!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Gloria,
DeleteIt's nice to pass these things on...in fact I think that's what blogging is all about. ;D
Thanks so much for grabbing my button. I really appreciate it.
Have a great week and see you in the playroom soon. :D
Wow! You are a peach! Thanks so much, adding your logo and link on my blog right now!
ReplyDeleteDitto above Gloria...have you had a tipple with all the excitement of the awards ceremony? ;D
DeleteThanks for mentioning me, you are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLuv Von.
I know Von....hehe...I don't take sugar in my tea for that reason!
DeleteI'm sweet enough!!! LOL
It was my pleasure to mention you...it always is! :D
Neesie....you are such a nutter....I love your humor....thanks for the "shout out".....
ReplyDeleteHope the heat isn't too much for you, because I'm in the middle of a snow storm....LOL
blessings,
Cynthia♥
p.s. did you pick out your party "frock" yet? hehehe
Hi Cynthia,
DeleteMaybe I should have had my blog name...Neesie Nutter and not Natters?!?!
It was my pleasure to give you a shout out...and I hope you have lots of new visitors knocking on your cottage door!
Still warm here but the clouds are building and there's rumbling in the tumbling...and although it's near dinner time...I know it's not me!
Hopefully we'll see a spot or two of rain too. ;D
Hope your safe and cosy with that snow storm.
Oh my frock is sorted and I'm ready to go...just waiting for the carpet now! (think I might have a long wait?) xoxo
You deserve it Neesie!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Angy,
Deletebut then I realise that you should be in my list too, along with so many other people...it really isn't fair to just pick 5.
I hope anyone reading this comment will hope over to visit you. They'll be in for a real treat. I've got quite a lot to catch up on going by my initial peep this morning. You have been busy....I'll be back later today.
Have a wonderful weekend :D
Congratulations, Neesie! I can't think of anyone that deserves it more than you. I am honored and humbled that you thought of me too. Have a marvelous weekend. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure Arnoldo,
DeleteThank you for your praise...it means a lot to me. It's always good to receive positive reinforcement that people like what you do ;D
Blessing to you and yours too!
