Wow! I am honored. Lynne over at The Sewing Mom nominated me for the Arte y Pico Award. She said I am one of her favorite quilters and fellow fabric bag maker. Thanks Lynne!

The Arte y Pico Award was created to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and talent whether it’s writing or artwork in all types of media (including sewing). When you receive this award it is considered a “special honor”. Once you have received this award, you are to pass it on to at least 5 others. If you want to know more about this award, you can read about it at the Arte y Pico website.

I am happy to pass this award on to those who have inspired me. It was very difficult to narrow my selections down to five bloggers.

Cynthia Blue at Tip Tail because although it may not be considered art in a media sense, her blogs have helped inspire others to rescue helpless animals. Her commitment to collie rescue is amazing.

Skeet over at Skeet’s Stuff. Skeet is Hawaii’s ambassador. At least, she should be. Her photos of every day life in Hawaii are wonderful. Her attitude about life is to be admired. She even has a meme that has everyone thinking of things that are nice. The meme is called Sharing the Good Stuff. If you happen upon some good news, be sure to let Skeet know so she can let everyone share a little bit of sunshine.

Rae makes the most awesome candles. The candles are soy which means they are better for the environment. I love reading Rae’s blog, What Lies Within the Mirror.

Laane on Laane on the World. She is an inspiration to those who are living with difficult circumstances. She has so much class and her blog is a joy to read.

Melissa over at Just A Minute. She is a Christian author who inspires us all to multi-task, learn to count our blessings and become better writers.

I hope all of you enjoy your award and pass the award on to 5 deserving bloggers.
