Melissa over at Grace Christian Homeschool nominated my blog for the Liebster award! From what I can gather about the award, "The Liebster Award is for small blogs (fewer than 200 followers) that can be described as dearest, sweet, beloved, kind, or favorite." Being new to the "blogosphere", I am so touched in her recognition of my little site, and her overwhelmingly kind words: " I love your Classical Conversations lapbooks and the beauty of your work.
