Arte y Pico

It really made my day recently when I discovered that one of my favorite bloggers, Sandy over at Curly's Corner, had chosen this blog for an award! Thank you, Sandy. I always check out your blog when I need a pick me up - and I'm never disappointed.... There's always a funny story or an extremely cute bunny or something that puts a smile on my face over there.

An award for those bloggers "who nourish and enrich the spirit and creativity. They see dedication, creativity, camaraderie, joy, and above all ART, much art. I wish that this prize is entertaining to all those bloggers who day by day share this space and enrich it a little more each day."

Now - the reason it has taken a relatively long time for me to actually put up this post is that I've been positively agonizing over my choice for the five blogs to receive this award. It's so difficult to pick just a handful.... So I decided to choose those that truly inspire me. And here they are:

Plenty of delicious eye-candy here.

Now for the rules:

1) Select 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award, creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter what language.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or 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 has given her or him the award itself.
4) The award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show a link of "Arte y pico" blog, so everyone will know the origin of the award.
