Arte Y Pico Award!

I received the coveted "Arte Y Pico" award from Jennifer at the Old Painted Cottage!
I did some research on this nifty little award, and apparently the meaning of the expression "Arte Y Pico" goes (roughly) something like this:
"Wow. The Best Art. Over the top."

I can dig that. :-)


There are 5 rules for this award:

1. Choose 5 blogs you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and contribution to the blogging community regardless of the language.

2. Each award should have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog to be visited by everyone.

3. Each award winner should show the award and put the name and link to the blog that presented him/her with the award.

4. The award winner and the one who has given the award should show the Arte Y Pico blog so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5. Show these rules.

And the award goes to.....

1. Kara at Inspiredkara.blogspot.com
2. Jermonne and Joe at Barnhousebh.blogspot.com
3. Rhoda at Southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com
4. Kari at Reeseandmarie.blogspot.com
5. Lisa at smallplacestyle.blogspot.com

Visit their blogs if you haven't....you will see why I think they're so deserving of the "Wow-Best-Art-Ever-Over-The-Top" Award.
