My First Blogging Award

I received my first blogging award last week! Cute Mrs. B gave it to me and now it's time for me to pass it along----actually I should have passed it along a while ago, but I couldn't decide what to wear to the awards ceremony. This is the award and the rules:

Arte y Pico Award

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that presented her/him with the award.
   
4. The award winner and one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y Pico" blog so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5. To show these rules.
   

I'm going to award this to a few blogging newbies to help encourage them to keep blogging. Shirlee at the Painted Prairie, the Pres. of my club, is a self-described Jill of all trades, crafter, thrifter. Jennifer at Live a Life of Love blogs about scrapping, thrifting, and creating. Becky at Beyond the Picket Fence does great trash to treasure projects. Pink and Polka Dot has fun sewing and thrifting projects. And the last award goes to Karna at Karna's Hus---her blog isn't written in english, but the photos are so wonderful you just want to crawl inside and stay awhile.
Congratulations Ladies!!!
