Liebster Award - Blog Love
This blog was nominated with a Liebster Award! "What's that?" you'd ask. Yes, I've learned a new word this week too. And it is a word of LOVE, so I really LOVE it!
Liebster, German, Beloved, Dearest, Sweetheart, Darling. The other forms are: lieb, lieber, am liebsten... And I LOVE the translation of this word into Italian; it just sounds so pretty: Carissimo.
