You've got to check this out!

Just wanted to share this - my friend Diana has a wonderful little etsy shop with gorgeous goodies and she is having a giveaway, right now!  Here is a link to the post and make sure that you check out her shop.

I also have some neat news to share, my dear friend Sherri has nominated me for the Liebster award!

Liebster, is German for 'dearest' or 'beloved' but it can also mean 'favorite'

So what is this award - I wondered the same too!  :)  The idea of the Liebster award is to bring attention to blogs with fewer than 200 followers.  I am so honored as my friend is soooo talented and such a wonderful lady - I hope to one day actually meet up with her!  You should really stop on over to Sherri's blog, Growing up: in faith, love & scrappiness, I promise you won't want to leave.

I was also honored by two other wonderful scrappers with this award Julie: http://hisglorygirl.blogspot.com/ and Shellye: http://paperedcottage.blogspot.com/  ; thank you all for your kindness!

One of the conditions in accepting the award is to pass it along to five more blogs (or 6 if you can't narrow it down).  So here are some of my favorite blogs that I would love to share some love with - if you have a moment please go visit them and then come back and leave a comment here and I will enter you for a giveaway.
