My dearest friend Kim, from http://itsallaboutcrafting.blogspot.com/  , was wonderful to pass along this award to me (thanks so much Kim...I wish I could send it back to you). If you've never seen one of these awards before, here's how they go:

The LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD is used to show appreciation of smaller blogs (under 200 followers) and to help spread readership and joy.
As part of the tradition, the award is to be passed along to five other blogs that have motivated and inspired me.
It comes from the German meaning Dearest or Beloved, but can also mean Favorite.

To accept the Award you must:
1. Link back to the person's blog who gave it to you, and thank them.
2. Post on your blog.
3. Give to five other Bloggers who you appreciate and value.
4. Leave a comment on the five blogs you choose and let them know.

It was a challenge to narrow it down to only 5 people because I have met so many fabulous ladies and gentlemen over the last year and a half. But here are my 5 choices:

1) Sara http://ladylipz1.blogspot.com/
2) Starla http://youcouldbewishingonastar.blogspot.com/
3) Jen http://jencraftsa.blogspot.com/
4) Marla http://moments-by-marla.blogspot.com/
5) Lady Anne http://www.cardsbyladyanne.com/lady-annes-blog.html
 And I just had to add one more...this lady is so special not only to me, but to many other people around the crafting community so.....#6 is:
6) Vickie http://vickiejstudio.blogspot.com/

Now I know that some of these ladies have more than 100 followers, but not only are each of them extremely talented, but I have been blessed to call each and every one of them friend, and so I just had to add them.
