Liebster Award...

When I opened my email the other day, I was pleasantly surprised to find an email from Linda, of My Great Finds, telling me that she had awarded me the Liebster Award. Thank you, Linda. I'm always pleased to hear that someone enjoys reading my blog.

Linda's blog is all about recycling, repurposing and redesigning. She loves transforming things that might have otherwise been thrown out. On My Great Finds, Linda shows us how to give new life and purpose to these old items. Head on over to Linda's blog and have a look.

So, what's the Liebster Award? It's fellow bloggers helping fellow bloggers get a jump start on their blogs. It also encourages friendship to develop and I really like that.

The award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers, to promote and encourage new friendships among the blog community. Liebster is German and means dearest, beloved, favourite.

Part of this award is to pass it on to others. Here are the rules:

1. Post the award on your blog.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Reveal your 5 picks for the award and let them know.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogsphere... other bloggers.
5. Finally, the best rule of all, have fun and spread the love!

Here are the blogs I will be giving the Liebster Award to:

• Heather, from Sew Easy Being Green. I have only just discovered Heather's blog. She writes the most comprehensive sewing tutorials.
• Melissa, from Two Little Red Bobbins. Melissa sews a wide variety of gorgeous children's clothes.
• Gigi, from Dress A Girl Around the World Australia. Gigi sews pillowcase dresses for girls in need and also organises the distribution of these dresses.
• Sandra, from Socks Without Pairs. Sandra makes the most amazing Candy Wrapper bags.
• Fay, from Imagination Overload. Fay makes fabulous clothes for boys, as well as toys and crafts. 

Head on over to these fabulous blogs and say, Hello. It's how friendships are started. Again, thank you, Linda, for passing on the award to me. I'm flattered and honoured.

If I've passed the award on to you and you'd prefer not to pass it on, no worries.

This is actually the second time I have been given the Liebster Award. The first time was from Amy, at A Home, Made and I passed it on to:

• Cass Can Sew
• Sew Delicious
• Sew la Vie!
• Ricochet and Away
• Craft Couture by T. C.
• Hopeful Threads

These girls have become good blogging friends...
