Kreativ Blogger Award

I am lucky and have "met" some really great people thru blogging, people that I may never have met in real life, but they are so sweet that I forget that sometimes, I feel soooo VERY BLESSED to have all of these friends through my blog...sweet Leslie sent me a Kreativ Blogger Award...you are so sweet, thanks!

Having received the award, I must now:
1. Thank the person who awarded me the award, and link that person's blog on my blog.
2. Copy and paste the Award button on my sidebar.
3. Identify seven things about myself.
4. Award seven bloggers with the "Kreativ Blogger Award," post links to their blogs, and leave a comment on each of their blogs, to let them know of the honor.

So, seven things about myself:
1. I am blessed to have two precious girls - Riley who's 3, nearly 4 - and Taylor who is 5 1/2 weeks old - they both melt my heart!
2. I like to make cards using rubber stamps - it's fun!
3. I realize more and more each day I'm kind of a clean freak - just don't mind the clutter you'll sometimes find at my house.
4. I go back to work in 5 days and it will be very hard!
5. I ate a piece of cake for breakfast - don't tell my daughter because I would never let her do that!
6. I can't smell most days, and I used to have one of the most sensitive sniffers around!
7. My pinkies are double jointed.

And now - to nominate 7 of my dearest friends to receive this award:
Well since typing, and especially hyperlinking, is slightly difficult while holding a baby, the first seven of you that read this and have blogs - you win, I nominate you!!

I got the Honest Scrap Award

The sweet Leslie gave me an award - isn't she awesome!! Be sure and go check out her blog, she has the cutest little girl named Abby that will just melt your heart!

This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blogs content or design is, in the giver's opinion, brilliant."

There of course is a catch to this award you have to give 10 'Honest' Things about yourself and then of course tag a few of your blogger friends to play along ... so here goes ...


10 Honest facts about me...
1. I'm going to have a baby in August
2. I have never colored my hair
3. My ring fingers are longer than my pointer fingers
4. My 3 year old owns more make-up than I do
5. I'm very ready for spring/summer weather to come back and stay
6. I'm not really a fan of coffee, in any form including candy
7. My favorite drink is probably OJ

The Friendship Award

My Sweet Blogger Buddy Leslie @ Princess Guatemalica awarded me with this

Here is the meaning of the award:It is the Friendship Award which means:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming.
These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.
They are not interested in self-aggrandizement.
Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.

Please give more attention to these writers.

Deliver this award to five bloggers who must choose five more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Wow - how sweet is that, especially since I haven't posted regularly since before Christmas, although I have very good intentions.........I just don't feel quite back to my normal self yet, so hopefully when this morning/afternoon/evening sickness passes - I'll be back, armed with lots of cute Riley stories, and more pictures than you probably care to see - because man I've got some catching up to do!!!

The award goes to........

Jenelle
Gina
Amanda
Sarah
YOU - I can't decide on the last one, so if you read my blog and want to play along, I award you :)

I got an Award :)

My bestest friend Jenelle gave me this great award.........but I'm like Jenelle in that I don't really know what it means, except that I'm super cool of course, because the originating website is all in Spanish - and I'm definitely not a Spanish speaker (unless counting to 10 and my limited Dora learning counts). If you are though - feel free to check out the originating site and let me know what it's all about :)

Like all good things though - this award came with some rules:

1) You must pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award, based upon creativity, design, interesting material, and that also contribute to the blogger community.

2) Each award must have the name of the author with a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3) Award-winners must show the award and put the name and link to the blog that awarded it.

4) Award-winners and the one who has given the prize must show the link to the Arte y Pico blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) These rules must be included in your post.

So, I am passing this award to:

Melissa at Chasing Cheerios

Sarah at Kiss the Frog 4 Me

Emily at Little Momma and Company

Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer

Leslie at Princess Guatemalteca

Have a great day!
