I'm so flattered, so I'll spread the kudos

Farmwife gave me an award; and even though I don't have anything red-carpet-worthy, I humbly accept her generous offering, knowing full well I don't deserve it.

It's a big cloudy as to the real origin of the Arte Y Pico Award, but I'm all up for handing out honors of my own, so I will certainly play along.

Here are the rules as set forth by Farmwife.

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. (OK, I am skipping this one in hopes that everyone makes it over here to find their name.)

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

5) Show these rules.

And the winners are, in no particular order: (and some of you won't be named because Farmwife already gave you kudos, so let's spread the love and share with others.)

1) Willow Grace (aka Madretz; I won't blather on about how great her artwork is, that's too easy. I don't think you can go there without feeling and reading her incredible attitude. It's so refreshing.)

2) Trying to Grab Some Happy (aka Phin; again, her artwork is moving and stunning; but I also like to read about her "adventures". So green with envy.)

3) Emily (Even though she's been on a blog break, I still catch myself visiting her blog just in case.)

4) Needlefingers & Pilot (Because everyone needs a good knit fix and some questionable packaging art.)

5) Brando & Rudy (Who doesn't love reading about those kids and some dead fish never hurt anyone.)

And a sixth one, that's sort of unofficial. She'd have made the list if only she posted more often. . . hint, hint: Kissed Knitter.
