Liebster Blog Award

Imagine my surprise when I received an award today from Anita - Recipe with Pictures - The Leibster Blog Award!  Thanks Anita!  Happy surprises are the best!  I'm a new follower on Anita's blog; it's been a real pleasure checking out her recipes and great photos.

Liebster is German and translates to the English word“dearest”or” favorite”.

It’s meant for up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers.”

Here are the rules


•Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog.
•Link back to the blogger who presented the award to you.
•Copy and paste the blog award on your blog.
•Present the Liebster Blog Award to 5 blogs of 200 followers or less who you feel deserve
to be noticed. (Some say just 3 or more blogs of less than 200 followers each).
•Let them know they have been chosen by leaving a comment at their blog.

The responsibility of accepting the Liebster Blog Award also means choosing five blogs to nominate for the Award.  One of the best things about awards like this is that it helps get the word out to others about the blogs you enjoy following.  There are so many blogs and each one deserves an award for the time and effort put into each post.  But, since there can be only five.....
