After receiving my first blogging award from Catcher of Stars – a Kreativ Blogger Award – (something to do with my multiple misspellings I presume), I was privileged to receive several more.
My second, was yet another Kreativ Blogger from Munchow –
I will post it when the Kreativ craze dies down so I don’t render anyone’s collection less diverse.
My third award, was a colorful heart from my most frequent commenter, that seems to have been made especially for me.
Check out her many sites and dazzling art work. She is very prolific!

And hear it is.
The Liebster was a gift from my magical, new-agey friend, Sue Dream Walker.

I passed my first award on to her, via an ambiguous comment that suggested I might not really take these things seriously . . .
I never heard back from her till she thanked me. By then I assumed I was off the hook. Then I was informed I had won a Liebster.
Now, I had seen this thing around and had wondered what Liebster ment. Apparently It’s German.
The award is a special one intended for the less popular . . . who – with all due respect – deserve more attention then they are getting. (AKA – Hipster bait.)
Years from now they will argue over who it was who saw you first. In the mean time hold on to your Liebsters, and turn up your noses, to mainstrean culture.
I copied this bit from Sue’s award post, in case you would like a full description, this being one of the few awards that actually has some criteria, though that criteria does seem to apply to most of us.
“Here are the rules and a few words about the award:
Leibster is German & means ‘dearest’ or ‘beloved’ but it can also mean ‘favourite’ & the idea of the Leibster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers all in the spirit of gathering more connections
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top picks for the award and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogsphere – other bloggers.
5. And, best of all – have fun and spread the karma.”
Please note. (Don’t feel pressured, this isn’t something you have to do, just a fun activity you may take or leave.)
And hear are my picks for the Liebster . . .
