Liebster Blog Award nr. 2

This is unbelievable: another Liebster Blog award from Prathibha - http://cook-ezee.blogspot.com/

What can be better than one Liebster award??? the correct answer is 2 Liebster awards. Yes I got two in a week.

Actually this was the first award I got, but I didn't see it on Prathibha's blog, only after a few days.

So I have to nominate another 5 blogs. I will choose 5 bloggers with no Liebster blog awards. This is what I did yesterday when I got the first award.

'Liebster' means favourite or dearest in German. Rules for accepting the award:
- Thank the person who gave the award and link back to their blog.
- Copy and paste the award to your blog.
- Reveal the 5 blogs you have chosen to award and let them know by commenting on their blog.
- Hope they pass it forward by accepting and awarding it to bloggers they would like to honour

Here are the 5 blogs I follow and recommend to everybody:

This is my first nomination and award and it really made my day. Thank you so much.

One of the responsibilities that goes with accepting the Liebster Blog Award is an amazingly difficult one, that of choosing five blogs to nominate for the Award, in turn.

After much head-scratching, I finally narrowed it down to five blogs to pass the honors on to. In no particular order:
