Wahoo! I was nominated for the Liebster Blog award!

Today I was checking my blog to see if I had any new comments 

and low and behold Cyndie from Artful Haven nominated me 

for the Liebster Blog award!  

THANK-YOU Cyndie!!

Originally I created this blog so our family in Oregon and 

other out-reaching states could check in and see what we 

were up too.  I never imagined anyone else would be 

peeking in orhanding out an award!  

I have to say, Cyndie, you  have made my day!

I've been enjoying Cyndie's blog for several months

Be sure to take a peek --- http://artfulhaven.blogspot.com/

From what I understand, this award is intended to encourage 

and showcase bloggers with less than 200 followers.

Here are suggestions that come with the Liebster Blot award:

*Thank the blogger who presented your award on your blog, 

and link back to them.

*Show the Liebster Blog badge on your blog 

(copy and paste from the presenter's blog).

*Present the Liebster Blog award to 5 blogs that have less 

than 200 followers.

*Let them know they have been chosen 

by leaving a comment on their blog.

*Here are the ladies I have nominated*

Connie - http://connietumm1.typepad.com/blog/ 

I have admired the creative work Connie has showcased on her

 blog for over a year.  She has been a leader in her framed collage

 art.  Many a stamper has been inspired by her pieces and when

 ever I see her name on entries, I take the time to look and learn!

Laura - http://creativitywithstamps.typepad.com/my_weblog/ 

Laura is another stamper that I have admired.  She has wonderful 

cards and ideas posted on her blog.  She is always an inspiration to

 me.  I can get my creative juices flowing when I see what she has 

been up too!

Kara - http://kandrdesigns.blogspot.com/ 

This is one lady that I check almost every day! If you take a look 

at her blog, you will see she is one stamping artist!  I love her new

 ideas and color combinations.  Her work always pleases the eye!

Jen - http://ladybugstamper-jen.blogspot.com/ 

Jen is a Stampin' Up demonstrator that I love.  When I view at 

her work the first thing that pops into my head is, 

"Someone is going to really love opening their mail box today!"

Her use of color and textures is always a winner!

Kay - http://www.stampingtoshare.com/ 

I recently discovered Kay's blog and I love it! 

Her creative work is classy!  When you visit her blog, you will

 know what I mean.  Beautiful composition, lovely colors, textures... 

"practically perfect in every way".  

Her site is another place I go to for inspiration.

For those ladies I have nominated, know that you don't have 

to tag anyone if you choose not too.  Enjoy the nomination 

and hopefully more folks will be visiting your

blog in the future!
