An award of unclear origin. (yes I looked it up!)
But one that is "a place to start" and clearly awarded from
the heart of my follower,
"Liebster" is DEAREST in German.
I adore the double meaning as Kim announces that she finds my blog among her dearest and I in turn, feel more dear that she has awarded me,
The Liebster.
A BIT of a Blogger Award Chain Letter, I now award to 5 of my Dearest blogs who have under 200 followers.
Link back to Kim at
Northern California Style and link to my 5 Awardees so that YOU, my reader, will then have fun clicking on them and doing a bit of blog "surfing" of your own!
And now, in no particular order.......
1) Splendid Market Emily, (
who has designed for Starbucks in her past life - dream!) presents food, travel and lifestyle illustrated with her own luscious photos from her home in Seattle.
(
honestly, I was shocked & amazed pleased (so that I may now share her with you) that her blog qualifies for The Liebster)
2) Curious Details Becki (
I love to "surf" from her Favorites list) is a creative (
her photos!) and entertaining designer/decorator who lives in Houston, Texas.
3) Ramblings Of A Redhead I call her "Red" (
others use her proper name Janelle), living in Salt Lake City shares about her life, "model" dog, photographer husband and most recently a paid writing gig!
4) bullfrogs and bulldogs Amanda, is a new bride who is beginning her life as a farm wife, vegan & gluten free cook, and budget wise D.I.Y. decorator in Oregon.
5) The Lovely Lifestyle Rachel Anne (
R.A. to me) Shares her home remodel, cute hubby she calls "The Mister" and the fun they have in (
and out of) Nashville.
As I searched through my Favorites list to find ANY blogs with less than 200 followers. (most have many more!) I was surprised to note how many do not have this statistic listed. Makes me think that they are so cool they don't worry about counting - and cool is what I want to be too!
(we'll see if I can give it up....maybe after the first 100 of you)
Congratulations Ladies, you now get to post this
Award on your blog!
(
as I have proudly done - top left)
Boast Post about it with a link back to me my blog
and list 5 blogs you find DEAR who have 200 or less followers.
A side note.....
I THINK.... I've been banned from one of my FAVORITE blogs!
When last I "clicked" she had been offline due to "technical difficulties".
Now I "click and this comes up ......
This blog is open to invited readers only
http://jentrified.blogspot.com/
It doesn't look like you have been invited to read this blog. If you think this is a mistake, you might want to contact the blog author and request an invitation.
Would you contact
Jen on my behalf? She lives in my favorite college town and last posted (
the last one I could open) about her new home. My comment may have been taken as
a bit "stalker-ish"? When I asked/estimated where her new home was (
here I used specific directions ie: south or west) and maybe she has acted in a protective way to keep me from dropping by?
We had previously exchanged a few fun comments.
(
mostly, me commenting - she may have responded to me once, or twice)
I don't know if she even reads my blog.
I just want everyone to SUBSCRIBE, FRIEND, FOLLOW, TWITTER and LIKE me!
No different than any other Blogger - right?
Cheers! Linda :-)
