I love surprises!!! Maybe you love them as much as me. If so then you can appreciate my delight when I found that my blogging buddy PIP had left a little surprise package for me, the Liebster Blog Award.
In all seriousness I am truly touched by the kindness of my blogging friend Piglet in Portugal. PIP and I became blogging buddies through the WordPress Post A Day/Week 2011 Challenge which began in January.
The Liebster award (“Liebster” is the German word for friend or love) originated in Germany. The aim of the award is to bring more attention to blogs with fewer than 200 followers.
These are the rules in accepting this award.
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the Internet – other writers.
5. And best of all – have fun and spread the karma!
6. Right click on the award image and save it to your hard-drive and then upload it to your blog. (EC added this)

PIP suggested: Don’t forget to add it to your sidebar….
The easy part is accepting the award the difficult part is choosing 5 other bloggers to pass the award on to.
I am not sure how to tell how many followers a blogger has, but I assure you that I do not have 200 followers, I don’t think I have 100, 75 or even 50…well maybe 50…Anywhoooo….
Here are my blogging buddies who continually support, encourage and inspire me week in and week out.
carlat noladetails for always reminding me home is only a click away…
nrhatch for her daily words of encouragement
hugmamma Body, Mind and Soul for always sending her cyber hugs
ahhsomme for honestly sharing her life struggles and success’ with her cyber-friends
mirth and motivation for always letting me know she has stopped by my blog in the middle of the night(my night) by clicking the “like” button
Ladies you make my blogging world go ’round!!!
Liebster Love!

Thanks, Jeanne!
I love my visits here ~ whether you’re talking about NOLA, or gardening, or antiques, or the ABC’s of life!
Since I just selected bloggers for the 7 Links Challenge, I may just sit on the Liebster Award for the time being . . . and spread the karma when they least expect it.
Have a GRAND day! 😀
Nancy the award is yours to do with what you will…
TY Jeanne! What a lovely gift with a heart in the center… TY for the kindness and the joy you bring to the blogging life… Like Nancy, I will save this for that special day when a fellow blogger or more need lifting…
Merci beaucoup! 🙂
Thank you so much, Jeanne! I need to get my act together in the award sharing department – I’m behind but someday will begin to pay it forward! Thank you for your kind words and so glad that my blog brings you good memories of home!
