From the minute I stumbled onto her awesome blog I have been rewarded with a friend! Thank you Apple Pie Gal for "getting" my more-than-dry sense of humor AND always having an encouraging comeback! I can see why you got this:

"Liebster" is a German word meaning dear, sweet, kind, nice, good, beloved, lovely, kindly, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome.
The Liebster is awarded to spotlight up and coming bloggers who currently have less than 200 followers.
(And she passed it along to me! Wow!)
Here are the rules for this award:
1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4. Have faith that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers.
5. And most of all - have fun!

So now I get to share with you my top 5 picks. I'd rather take a beatin' than choose but I'm a rule following kind of Hoosier so here goes:
(In no particular order)
- Crystal at http://noodlevilleadventures.blogspot.com/ who is a goat genius and inspires me to always strive for perfection when it comes to goat tending (and to be very careful about making sure I have a clear exit strategy at all times-LOL)
- Ravenlost at http://hickahala.blogspot.com/ whom I've just started getting to know, but who doesn't love a dog lover??
- Christy at http://artisanfarmsteadliving.blogspot.com/ who has the most calming down to earth approach in all her posts. And she has amazing bread recipes :)
- Kris at http://thislittleplacehere.blogspot.com/ who can tell it like it is!
- Thea at http://peculiarhomestead.blogspot.com/ (she has awesome music on her blog!) who says in her profile: "We live in the pursuit of bringing God glory..." And really, what more is there than that?!?
