Thank you lovely blog posters/followers for commenting on my Monday post and for producing such great posts this week for me to read.
Thank you also to the five great bloggers who have joined me in the Liebster Award - I am looking forward to seeing who you awarded it to. It's great to be recognised by fellow crafters and and even better to be able to pass on the award.
A busy week so far - my car was in for its MOT on Monday and thank goodness it passed. I sometimes feel an MOT is like going to the dentist - a painful way of parting with money and not an awful lot to show from either appointment.
As you know, I am in the process of producing my website and still not 100% sure what to put in the About Me section. One thing that I thought would be good to include is why Christmas Pie is so called. Shortly after we moved in, our local village historian society held an exhibition at the village hall. We discovered that a family called Christmas originally owned the land around here and a pie (in land terms) is a parcel of land. Apparently the Christmas family name in this area goes back to 1513. More interesting information about the name and the area can be found on the Normandy Historians website.
As my post today is about meanings I came across the meaning of liebster which in German is friend, love or dearest. A nice way to think of fellow bloggers really.
Don't forget, fellow crafters, I would love you to be part of my Friday Guest Blog adventure - so please do get in touch.
Enjoy the rest of the week everyone - check back on Friday for my guest post.
