*Liebster Blog Love*

I am both delighted and honored that two separate blogs awarded me the Liebster Blog Award today!!

It means a lot to me to receive this award from two a-maz-ing blogs.   

A big and special thank you to Shan from Family Brings Joy

*and*

Holly at The Bella Nest!!

Liebster means "love" in German, and this award was created to promote 

blogs that are new or growing with less than 200 followers. The tradition of the award is to thank the giver and pass it on to 5 recipients of your choice. 

Hopefully they will accept the award and pass it on to other deserving bloggers!!

The Official Rules for the Liebester Award are:

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog
2. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you
3. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog
4. Hope that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers

I have chosen to award the following blogs because, well, I "liebster" them (I'm sure there is some weird conjugation that I am missing there so I apologize :o)  I hope you take the time to check them out and send them some love!

I have been reading Gwen since almost the beginning of both of our journeys.  This woman is both an amazing writer and an amazing decorator.  You will fall in love with her.... promise.

AMELIA AT HOUSE PRETTY

I'm Amelia and this is my blog. My husband's a musician and I'm a small business lobbyist with an unhealthy design and DIY obsession. I started this blog to document our journey as we transform our first house into a home we both love. It's also a way for me to express my creative side and connect with people who share my love of beautiful spaces. We have a lot of work ahead of us and we're learning as we go, but I hope you enjoy following our journey.

I have really enjoyed getting to know these ladies through their blogs and I hope that they will continue to "show the love" of the Liebster award!
