Liebster Blog Award

Thank you so much to Diane from Confessions of the Obsessed  for nominating me for the Liebster Blog! This is an award given to an 'up and coming' blog that has fewer than 200 followers.  In German, liebster means 'my beloved friend.'  What an honor and what a nice surprise!

Now, for the rules:
1.  Nominate up to five (5) up and coming blogs with fewer than 200 followers
2.  Show your appreciation to the person who nominated you by linking back to their blog
3.  Post the award on your blog and include links to those whom you have nominated
4.  E-mail or leave a comment for those whom you have nominated so that they will know!

Passing on this honor is a pleasure!  Winners, all:

The 'Rust Goddess' (aka Donna from Distressed Donna Down Home).  From South Carolina, Donna loves collecting rusty treasures, creating mixed media art, and visiting flea markets.  You'll love the things she creates!

Tammy, at A Walk in the Countryside.  My Louisiana neighbor whose home exudes charm and southern hospitality.  Currently, she is trying to stave off her husband's purchase of a pig!

Aarond, a Missouri farm girl who loves the land and livestock (maybe she would take the pig) and blogs at Lipstick, Camouflage, and Farm Life.  You will absolutely adore her fabulous photographs.

Please try to visit these interesting and creative women.  You will be impressed; I certainly am!
