The Liebster Award

I'm sorry to say I have been away from my blog for awhile. Company from out of town, family obligations, you name it, you know how it is sometimes.
However, while I was away from my blog, something wonderful happened to me THREE times. I was awarded the Liebster Award!!!

Terri, my friend over at her sewing and quilting blog, quiltncards.blogspot.com, gave me the Liebster Award! Awesome! I have followed Terri's blog for a long time. We have exchanged many emails. I call her my good buddy from California! She freely shares her paper piecing ideas. Love you sweet Terri.
Mariana over at her blog, cowboycountryvegetarian.blogspot.com, also gave me the Liebster Award! Double awesome!! She is a new friend. Her blog is full of food ideas.
And, my friend "The Empress of the Universe", over at her quilting blog, imperamagna.blogspot.com, also give me the Liebster Award. Triple awesome!!! I have followed her blog for as long as I have been blogging. She freely shares wonderful quilting ideas. Love you Girl Friend.

Now, about the Award.

I had a hard time picking only 5 blogs to pass on this award. I follow so many blogs.
These are my fav five, in no special order:
