This is the first time I’ve been the recipient of an award that began on a blog that is not written in English! It’s just so cool how global the blogosphere is, you know? Lynne from The Sewing Mom passed this award on to me, and I am honored to receive it! I had to use a Spanish to English dictionary site to translate, it means “Peak of Art”.

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. This award was created by the site Arte Y Pico.

I am honored that Lynne chose me as one of the five bloggers she passed this award to. She said “I award this to someone who inspires me not only as a mom, but as a fellow blogger, Elizabeth at Table For Five inspires me with her knowledge of blogging and the fact that she’ll go out of her way to help others.” Wow, thanks Lynne!

Each of the five bloggers I have chosen to give this award to can right-click and save this award image, or go to Lynne’s blog to get a much bigger version.

For the five bloggers I am passing this award to, I tried to choose from a wide variety of different artistic talents. There are so many terrific bloggers out there who are SO talented! Here are my nominees:

  • Thomas Laupstad publishes some of the most amazing photos I have ever seen on his blog Photos from Northern Norway: A photo blog. His most recent post shows how beautiful a field of dandelions can look!
  • My friend Drew at The BenSpark also posts great photos, in fact I like them so much, I bought his photo calendar to use in my kitchen! He has posted a photo a day since April 2005, which is a spectacular feat in itself.
  • My friend Lisa at Lisa Reviews inspires me with how hard she works on all of her blogs. She does a great job of balancing personal posts and sponsored reviews, plus she has taught me some blogging tips that have had massive impact on my blogs. She is a Top Mom Review Blogger for a reason!
  • Lori at My Wooden Spoon is one of my favorite food bloggers! She posts absolutely yummy looking recipes, plus she does great giveaways, too. She is in second place in the Blogger’s Choice Awards for Best Food Blog, why not go over there and give her a vote? :)
  • Val at Fun, Crafts, and Recipes does a terrific job of combining daily recipe posts, ideas for fun crafts, plus the popular Four Foods on Friday meme that brings lots of readers to my food blog (thanks Val!) Val also has SEVEN other blogs on different topics-she is definitely a true blog artist!

I hope each of my five nominees has as much fun passing on this award as I did!
