Sweet sweet Kristel over at The Velvet Door recently commented on my Craft Room post. She has the cutest house and the greatest ideas on her blog! In her comment she mentioned she was passing down the Liebster Blog Award to me. After my immediate reaction of OH WOW! my second thought was What is the Liebster Blog Award? Of course I immediately googled this to find out what it was.
Liebster is a German word meaning Dearest or Beloved, it can also mean Favorite.
The idea behind the Liebster Blog Award is that it is given to upcoming bloggers
(with fewer than 200 followers) in order to create new connections and bring attention to wonderful growing blogs.
Now it is my turn to pass on the award, with a these few simple rules.
~ Thank the giver with a link back to them
~ List your top five picks and let them know they have been given the award by
leaving a comment on their blog.
So now it’s my turn to Spread the LOVE!
It wasn’t easy to find just 5 blogs to share the love with but I finally narrowed it down.
Please check out their blogs as well as Kristel’s The Velvet Door.
- Maggie @ Hell on Heels Housewife – Okay I am in LOVE with her ideas, posts, and her HOUSE wonder if she will let me move in … I will be quiet and promise not to eat much! Great job Maggie you are truly inspiring!
- Rachel @ The Lived in Room – She is fairly new to blogging and a newlywed to boot! She has some great ideas on her blog I most especially love her Project005. How cute is it that she numbers her projects – great idea!
- Sheila @ Swirly Girl Dreams & Decor – She has the cutest Spring wreath on her site and man is she versatile.
- Rachel @ Thrifty Inspriations – Oh wow once again a blog I cannot wait to see more of, if you love Ombre you will love her kitchen cart makeover post -‘For the Love of Ombre’ so cute!
- Blue Star Antiques – This site is great. So much inspiration on every post! One of my favorites is one entitled ‘Bringing in the Clowns’ where she uses an old fire real and hose as a curtain rod. Being the wife of a firefighter I LOVE the idea!
Thank you again Kristel!

Jacque! I was having a terrible day at work and I came home to your wonderful invite to accept a Leibster award from you and I couldn't be happier! Really! You completely made my day! I'm the new blog on the block and only have a handful of followers (they are the best!) and I can't believe all the sweet things people have to say about my projects. I will happily accept my award and I am so grateful you chose me! I'll be telling everyone all about it in my post for tomorrow. Thanks to you my dear new friend!
