Liebster Blog Award **My first award!!!**

7:38 PM | Posted by | Edit Post
I've received my very first blog award!! Thank you to the incredibly awesome and talented Amy & Leah from Amy & Leah's Gimptastic Tuts for thinking of me :)

The aim of the award is to bring recognition to blogs with minimal followers. Since I have accepted the award I must pass it on to at least 3 other blogs (but not more than 5), that have inspired me and I feel deserve a bit more attention. The rules are to say thank you on my blog to the one who passed it on to me and link to their blog (see above). Pick the blogs to pass the award on to, leave a note on their blog and then list them with links to their blogs...

The blogs I choose are:
1. Signature Collections
2. Melissa's Scraps and More
3. Cntrycagalschaos
4. Bad Girl Club Designs
5. Leather and Lace Tuts
