awards and giveaways

Happy Friday everyone!  This week Mariah of Nudl Soup passed on the Liebster Award to me.  If Mariah hadn't been the one to nominate me for this, she would totally be on this list!  She is the sweetest!  Go check out her blog!

Liebster means "favorite" or "dearest" in German.  This award, which originated in Germany, recognizes up and coming bloggers!  In accepting this award, I agree to:

• Thank the person who gave me the award and link back to their blog
• Copy and paste the award to my blog
• Reveal the 5 blogs I have chosen to award and let them know by commenting on their blogs
• Pay it forward to 5 blogs

I chose five really sweet bloggers who have been commenting back and forth with me over the last few weeks.  I have really enjoyed getting to know each of them through their blogs!

1. Emily of Hope Squared
2. Savannah of Kevin & Savannah
3. Becky Jo of Welcome to the Good Life!
4. Gabrielle of Cafe' au Lait and Texas Tea
5. Maggie of Glitz & Grammar

(You can still read about my first blog award ever!)


And if that wasn't exciting enough, last night I WON my first ever giveaway!  Since I started blogging, I've literally entered dozens and dozens of giveaways but I've never won.  For the last few weeks Faison from Fat to Fabulous has been running a giveaway featuring an awesome Kate Spade organizer... and I won!  I'm so thrilled, I feel like I won the lottery!  Thanks Faison!  You guys should all check out her blog, she is lovely!

And finally, today it the LAST DAY of my blog design giveaway!  Go enter NOW!

Happy Friday everyone!  Thanksgiving is officially less than one week away!
