Feeling the love all the way from Uruguay

My boys did not wake up until 8:22 this morning. How awesome is that?! This VBS thing may be good for sleeping after all....well, when you normally are in bed by 8:30, staying up until 9:45 is LATE!

My Aunt Anita/Silverbelle awarded me the Arte Y Pico Award yesterday. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Aunt Anita! I love getting awards...and passing them back around! But most of all, I love knowing that this blog means something to someone.

When I went hunting for information about this award (I've seen it before, but had no clue what it was about) I found the Arte Y Pico blog it's self. The only problem...it's all in Portuguese (I think). I do not speak Portuguese. Heck, I barely speak English most days.

The one thing I've discovered is that "Arte Y Pico" has no real English translation. Roughly, it's "Wow! The Best Art. Over the Top." I think over time it's become a way to let other bloggers know they've inspired you with their creativity. The rules have changed a bit after being passed about, so I decided to combine them slightly.

1)Show the award. Link back to the blog that gave you the award.

2) Pick 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award because of creativity, design, interesting material, and contributions to the blogger community, no matter of language, and link to them.

3) Leave comments on the blogs to let them know you've given them an award.

4) Show the link to the Arte y Pico blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) Show these rules.

Those are the official FarmWife rules. ;)

And these are the folks I'm passing my good fortune on to:

1) Inkling (I won't link here here because her's is a private blog)

2) Art (post more please...I miss you!)

3) Sarah, our fearless Hot Mama Leader.

4) Ragged Around the Edges

5) And finally, Mrs.X

You ladies inspire me. The way you write, what you write, it all touches me in some way....you make me laugh, make me cry, make me want to be a better person (thank you Mr.Nicholson). So I'm passing the love on to you.
