Gloria J Zucaro's "Liebster Award"

Good Morning!  I hope you are having a sunny and stress free day where ever you are.  This week was a surprising and exciting one for me as I received two "Liebster Awards".  The Liebster award is when another artist picks your blog along with 4 other blogs as one she/he enjoys.  It is about "passing it forward".  Once your blog has been nominated you pick five blogs that you love and think others would enjoy hearing about.  Those five blogs must currently have fewer than 200 followers.  So you see, it is a great honor to be nominated and to hopefully get some extra exposure, and then to be able to do the same for someone else. Each person who is given an award should also...1). thank the award giver 2). show a link back to that persons blog from their blog, 3). nominate five other bloggers with less than 200 followers, 4). leave a comment on the awardies'(is that a word!?) blog to let them know they have been given the Liebster Award.

My first honor was bestowed by Denise at Nessie Natters.  Denise is an expert at drawing, photography, tangles or doodles, if you prefer, and all round good conversation.  I know you would enjoy seeing her artwork and seeing her world.

My second award is from Stephanie Stark, a wonderful artist from Germany.  Stephanie has picked 2013 as the year to finish many unfinished projects she has started.  This is something we all understand. Stephanie has many talents including knitting, work with clay, painting and photography.  You can see her blog here.   Stefanie has her blog text in German and in English.  Just scroll down for the English translation.

My five blogs for you to visit are below.
