And the Liebster Blog Award goes to...
The drum roll please... It's taken a while to complete this exercise, but it has been fun. The Liebster Award is meant to support fellow emerging bloggers and we want to thank Lisa Samloglou for our nomination. (You can read her Urban Travel Tales blog or follow her on Twitter @LisaSamloglou.) I hope that my nominees enjoy the process as much as I did.
Without further ado, here are my selections for the Liebster Blog Award.
