The Liebster Award

Liebster is a German word meaning Beloved, Dearest or Favorite.  The Liebster Blog Award is for bloggers who inspire you and have less than 200 followers.

I received a nomination from Pam at artofbeing-pamela.blogspot.com  What a nice surprise from someone who has become a wonderful blog friend and inspires me with her creations and artful life.

As part of the tradition of the award, it is passed forward to 5 bloggers who have motivated and inspired you.

To accept the award, you must:
1.  Link back to the person who gave it to you and thank them.
2.  Post the award on your blog.
3.  Give the award to 5 bloggers with less than 200 followers that you appreicate and value.
4.  Leave a comment on the 5 blogs to let them know that they have been offered this award.

There are so many wonderful blogs, it was really hard for me to select just 5.

kellygirlquilts.blogspot.com  Who wouldn't fall in love with the colorful quilts Kathy shares on her blog.  She is a very talented quilter and a generous blog friend.  I can't wait to see her next creation.

kjohnsonart.blogspot.com  Kathy creates the most beautiful art and has appeared in Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine several times.  Her mixed media creations and quilts are an inspiration to all artists.

mareermareer.blogspot.com  As a quilter and photographer, Mareenz blog is a joy to see.  Her photos are beautiful as she shares her travels and family life.  Her quilts are fun, colorful and beautifully made.

mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com  I was fortunate to have Marlynne as a swap partner last year.  Her folk art includes quilts, painting and many handcrafted delights.  She fills her blog with art projects that are thoughtful and very creative.

wastelandwallowing.blogspot.com  As a busy school teacher, Nathalie still finds the time to create beautiful quilts and organize swaps.  Her blog is always so fun to read as she shares her life in Texas and her creative pursuits.

Thank you Pam for this award and thank you bloggers for sharing your art.
