Blogging Award

One of my favorite aspects of blogging is connecting with other bloggers. It's nice to connect with people that share the same interests and have experienced some of the same issues/struggles. I'm a fairly new blogger and started this as a way to express my creative side and compile all of my thoughts on home decor, fashion, and life in general.

When I started this I never could have imagined how inspired and encouraged I would be by fellow bloggers. Last week I received an award from Amy at Eat. Sleep. Decorate. Her blog is a daily read for me; check out her blog for some great decorating ideas, DIY projects, and organizational tips.

"Liebster is German and means 'dearest' or 'beloved', but it can also mean 'favorite'."

The rules for this award are pretty simple.  If you are selected, you:
1. Choose FIVE up and coming blogs to pass this award on to.  They must have less than 200 followers.
2. Show a big thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

3. Post the award on your blog.  List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. 

4. Best of All- bask in the glory- have fun and share the love!

The blogs that I have chosen to give this award to are the following:

Maria @ Live Beautifully - She is a talented designer that shares inspiring before and afters.

Jess @ Hill Country Homebody - She is a great DIY'er that will inspire you with her unique projects.

Liz @ Liz Marie Blog - Check out this blog for some colorful furniture re-do projects. I am always anxious to see her next make-over.

Jayne and Katie @ I'll Take Two - I recently started reading this blog, and I love all the home and fashion inspiration pictures.

Dana @ Make them Wonder - She is such a sweet, positive lady that gives great design tips and ideas.

Please check out each of these talented ladies' blogs for some great ideas.

Thanks again Amy for the award!
