About the Liebster Award:
The Liebster Award's origins are pretty much a mystery. Bloggers nominate other bloggers that have 200 or less followers. “Liebster” is German for “favorite,” so this is kind of like the “favorite blog award.” It's basically a "Hey, that's a sweet little blog you've got there. Here's an award!" You can't just accept the award. You have to play by the (ever changing) rules and pay it forward. Then you can put the award on your blog for all to see.
The Rules:
1. List 11 facts about yourself.
2. Answer the 11 questions given to you.
3. Create 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominate for the award.
4. Choose 11 bloggers with 200 or less followers to nominate.
5. Go to each bloggers page and let them know about the award.
6. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.

I read a large number of blogs everyday, however, most of them already have more than 200 followers...so my list of nominees is NOT going to be 11 as required...but to be true to myself and my readers, I didn't think I should add blogs that I do not follow...
These are the blogs that I have chosen - I follow all of these wonderful blogs and would highly recommend them to you!
Foxxy @ Summer House Cottage
Lynn @ Up Country Olio
Wanda @ Recreate and Decorate
Chelsey @ my beauty full adventure
Judy @ 20 North Ora
Patty @ Pattys Heart and Home

Cheryl, Thank you so much for the nomination. You are so sweet, thanks for all the beautiful comments. I have visited your blog in the past and have enjoyed it very much. I am so happy you enjoy mine too. I would like very much to accept your nomination. I will try to figure out what exactly I am supposed to do and hopefully do it. Honestly all the technical stuff about blogging has me stumped. I struggle a lot I'm embarrassed to say. Thanks for thinking of me. I'll do the best I can! Love Patty
ReplyDeletePatty - I thought the same thing when I was nominated...it takes some work, but you'll do fine! Looking forward to see what you have coming up next on your blog!
