Liebster Award

Well it is a privilege to receive a friendly, I kinda like your stuff and you kinda like mine blog award. But there is some work involved and part of the deal is I pass it on. I don't have the required number of low key bloggers on my roll call to pass it on to, but I don't want to pluck people out of the stratosphere, so I have forwarded the award to only 6 bloggers. And my dears although I love your blogs please don't feel you have to spend a load of time on forwarding the award on if you don't want to. I will still love you. Although it is a sweet idea.

My newest follower Sweet Auburn Life is the gal who sent me the award. She lives in Ireland in an eco house and we have VERY similar Loves. Pop over and take a squiz at her blog, she would be delighted to see you.

So the rules of the game:
The award should be given to 11 of your favourite bloggers but they must have less than 200 followers.
Each recipient should post 11 random facts about themselves.
Answer the questions the 'tagger' has set for you, and then create 11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.
Choose your 11 recipients and link them to your blog
Go to their blogs and let them know you have given them an award.
No tag backs.

Random Facts About Me
