This Award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers, all in the spirit of fostering new connections and making friends.
Liebste is German word that means ‘dearest’ or ‘beloved’ but also ‘favorite’ or 'like'. The idea of the Liebster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers.
The Rules are (possibly changeable):
The Rules are (possibly changeable):
- Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
- Reveal your top five picks for the award and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
- Post the award on your blog.
- Bask in the love from the supportive people on the blogsphere.
- And, best of all – have fun!
- There seems to be an additional rule that you tell five random things about yourself.
I searched briefly for the "original" liebster Blog award but I came up with only more and more amazing little blogs (as opposed to big with over 200 followers). What I found was that each one eventually had some little change to the rules. The basics seemed to be 1-3. But alone they are a bit...lonely. 4-6 add a little spice.
Rena J. Traxel I want to thank you deeply for this opportunity. I found so many amazing blogs and got most of the way through the Picture Book Dummy Challenge blog list. Amazing talent. I also found that many of my favorite blogs had received the award already - of course.

These are the five blogs I wish to nominate for this award (in no particular order):
Lisa Thompson I don't know how many followers you have but - your blog is great inspiration. As a mom of 4 I know the challenges of 3. I'm also starting "late" on knowing what I want to do when I grow up! PLUS we are both in the Marks and Splashes Course .
Helga Pearson Another Marks and Splashes Course cohort, mother, late starter. What can I say - like attracts like. The kicker is we are both in South Africa.
Josh Reed What a fabulous drawing site! The BEST BEST BEST - Thank you Mark G. Mitchell
Kevin Cross Super Rad illustrator and Dad to be. Kevin - I also don' t know how many "followers" you have but I found you Super Rad (as advertised)- even the dad to be blog!
Karien Naude If it wasn't for Karien I wouldn't have signed up for the Marks and Splashes Course . Thanks for the encouragement Karien - such beautiful work!
Cheers, Ciao, Adios and Thanks for all the fish! *Curtsey*
EDIT: I visited Lisa Thompson's blog this morning to find she's received the LA already from another M&S cohort. Great minds!
Also I realized I failed to DIRECTLY state 5 things about me. I must say I think you can find them between all the lines but here's to simplicity:
1. I get REALLY excited about sharing with others - so much so I forget to put it all together BEFORE I put it out there.
2. I am proud to be living in South Africa - And I'm proud to be from TEXAS (San Antonio - home of the Alamo!)
3. I'm a dream chaser, encourager and muse
4. Fine art, illustration, paints, colours and general creative expression fill me with happiness.
5. I love books and writing - especially if they are children's books. So little drama and so much fun!

Hi Melissa, congrats on the award and thank you for the follow! I see you are a fellow PBDummy-ist! How is your dummy doing?
ReplyDeleteHi Pia - The pleasures al mine! My Dummy is going much slower than I'd like but so far I'm up on all the steps. Thanks for asking. I'm waiting to have something to show before I post.
ReplyDeleteHow long have you been living in South Africa? What made you decide to move to South Africa?
ReplyDeleteHi Rena! I've lived in South Africa since 2000 (The year I married my husband!). I chose South Africa because I had a strong feeling it was a good place for me and my husband to be starting out. It's been an adventurous journey that seems to only be getting more and more amazing with each year that passes.
