I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Annie Bella! I was so happy she chose me as one of her nominations and send her so much love and a million Thank you’s!!! You can check out her awesome blog here http://cornerofthebedroomstudios.wordpress.com/
The Liebster Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. So, what is a Liebster? The meaning: Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome. Isn’t that sweet? Blogging is about building a community and it’s a great way to connect with other bloggers and help spread the word about newer bloggers/blogs .
Here’s the rules of the nomination:
1. Be sure to thank the blog that nominated you and be sure to link back to their blog.
