Liebster Blog Award!!

I met Jess, over at Our Homestead For Him,

I was so thrilled to get this bit of encouragement;

then wondered....WHAT is the Liebster Blog Award?

Where had I been?! I had never heard of this!!

So, I headed over to Jess's blog to see what this was all about!!

What is the Liebster Blog award?

The Liebster Blog Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have not yet hit the 200 followers mark. The award is presented by a fellow blogger as a sort of pat on the back "you've got a great thing started" type of award. 

"Liebster" is German for "favorite." This makes this a favorite blog award." 

This sure looks like this will be a fun way of getting 

to know my bloggie-friends!!
