This is one is about you....

I was lucky enough to receive two more awards please insert an excited, thrilled, happy, squeally, southern high-pitched voice in your head as you read this!  This post is all about passing them on to much deserving blogwonders! 

First off, Sarah from Sarah's House gave this one to me.  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.  I adore you and your blog!  Your pictures and your words are amazing!  Plus, the music on your site totally rocks!  I could listen to it instead of the radio anytime!

The first one is the Arte y Pico Award, woohoo!

This one comes with a few rules, five to be exact. 

1.  Pick 5 blogs that you feel are deserving of this award based on their

(a) creativity,

(b) design,

(c) interesting material, and

(d) contribution to the blogging community, no matter what language.

2.  For each award giver: Include the name of the author and a link to their blog, so they can be visited.

3.  For each award recipient:  Show the award with the name and link to the blogger from whom it was received.

4.  For both giver and receiver:  Show the link of the Arte y Pico. (http://www.arteypico.blogspot.com/)

5.  Publish these rules.

Here is what Sarah said about me

Leigh www.loveleighthings.typepad.com for being a knitting pal. For having a lovely blog with nice pictures and encouraging me with my knitting.

I swear she said that, I am not making it up!  And for you smart ones out there, I did not pay her either, so there!

This is hard for me.  But, I decided to give this one to the artists out there who create, love, share and put up with me.

1.  Laura, My Little Orange Kitchen for being a true talent.  Just look at her ETSY shop.  She has the most generous spirit and true heart of anyone that I believe I have ever met!

2.  Janice, Goddess Findings for making beautiful jewelry. Her soul is just as gorgeous as her jewels!

3.  Kai, The Party in Kai's Head because her heart is as big as Texas!  Plus, she is a real artist using many different mediums.  She can create anything out of anything and it will be beautiful.  She says that she can't sew though (don't believe her).

4.  Jan, Daylily Lane Her heart is as pretty as her paper art!

5.  Barb, Life in the Sunshine Photographic beauty, gallery worthy art!  Plus, she is my blog fairy!

This next one, I received from Rue!  She is taking the blog world by storm, with humor, love and grace.  Thank you, Rue for thinking of me.

I really think this one is cool, because you ladies really do make my day!  It is for being fabric artists/queens/hoarders, having a sense of humor, showing more talent in a days blog entry than most people have seen in a year.  It is for the laughter, the love and mainly for caring.  I feel privileged to pretend know you all!  I am going to put your links, no names.  That way folks may see a cute blog name and visit you.  This is in total random order!

1.  Sarah's House

2.  A Culpa E Da  Sophia

3.  Curly Pops

4.  Crafty Conundrum

5.  Laughing Mouse

6.  Nasty Wench's All Things Crafty

7.  Cinders Muses

8.  August Street

9.  Lille Meg

10.  Momma's Goodies

11.  Peeking Thru the Sunflowers

12.  23 Beech Hill

13.  Shanny's Day

14.  Mumi Stitches

16.  Monkeemaker

17.  Yours 'til Niagra Falls

18.  Vintage Amethyst

If you are still here.  I thank you, as does number 18, teehee, get it!  I have decided to have a very mini giveaway!  I am in the process of mailing out more of my Pay it Forwards, birthdays and thank you's.  So, I thought why not mail an itty bitty just totally random package.  So, here it is.... I have several back issues of Cloth Paper Scissors to go to a new home.

If you are interested just leave a comment saying that you would like to win.  I will have a random drawing this Saturday.  Who knows,  I may throw a little something extra in there.

If I owe you an email, I am hanging my head in shame.  If I owe you a post, I will be around in a bit.  Just know that I am playing single mama this week, packing one son for a trip, receiving visitors, yes, people really do come visit me!  fighting the frost I believe my Japanese Maple, Crepes and Azaleas will live another day.  The allergies are still here, but I decided to not whine about the them, hahaha!  Anyhoo, to make a long story short, I will email and or visit very soon!  Love ya!

Ooooh I would love a crafty mag but postage would be way too expensive to Australia. If I am a lucky winner, I would be very happy with just one mag so it doesn't cost so much.
Thanks for the award, it's so lovely....I'm glad I make somebodys day he he he!

I forgot to add this bit....I told Mr CurlyPops about your new Lola and he thought it was hilarious!
