Awards and things like needles in a haystacks!

There is nothing nicer as a blogger than being appreciated by your peers for what you do or who you are.

Can I be honest? I have so many blog awards I've lost count but I'm a spot so I'll play along.

                                           First I received The Liebster Award from coffee lady over at her blog called
 my morning cup of coffee. She's a sweetheart with a wonderful sense of humor. She is real as they get and she write about every day life with an honesty I admire. I suggest you click on this link and go over coffee in hand and visit her asap!

Then my faith-filled friend Maria over at delight directed living honored me with the same award! When you read her blog I know you will agree with me that. Maria is a person of faith who writes from her heart. She will lift your spirits   when you read her words of faith and hope. Visit!

My friend miss bates over at miss-bates.blogspot gave me not only a Liebster Award but a Very Inspiring Blogger Award. OMG! What a sweet gal! I met her during A-Z and I can tell you truthfully she's a wonderful writer. She's writing daily in May so believe me she's a dedicated writer as well, you'll enjoy her blog, believe me!

This week my new friend Jessica   who writes over at the blog, A word or two, about a word gave me another Liebster Award. I'm giggling and hoping I reach 200 followers since I'm running out of room for all these awards :) This one is sorta cute and blueish which is my first one of this kind!  Jessica is a mom a blogger and a newly published author of a book called  "The Key to Life". How cool is that? Don't forget to visit!

The Liebster award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.  What is a Liebster?  The meaning: Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome.

It seems to me a tad silly to keep giving these awards to the same people over and over again. So I was hoping there were a few of you who had never gotten blog awards and would let me know so I could pass these on to you.I looked through my reader, well I had trouble finding one person. I'm thinking needle in haystack here. Speak up people.
