And the Oscar Goes To...

My sweet bloggin' bud perilloparodies at The Spices of Life has honored me with the Arte Y Pico award and some amazing words.  Thank you so much for passing this on to me, for your writing and ponderings on faith and family and for sharing your incredible art.  Angie at sevenclowncircus had the same idea--great minds, huh?  Angie, thank you as well, for your incredible comments on 4 of 8's hearing loss and for linking folks to her story.  I'm continuing the tradition with the rules posted below and the 5 bloggers I'd like to pass this on to:

 

Choose 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award based on creativity, design, interesting material, and overall contribution to the blogger community, regardless of the language.
Post the name of the author and a link to his or her blog by so everyone can view it.
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.
The award-winner and the presenter should post the link of the “Arte Y Pico” blog ( http://www.arteypico.blogspot.com/), so everyone will know the origin of this award.
Please post these rules.

So here's my 5!

JBM Mommy   @ His Grace Is Enough---She's holding down the fort while her hubby is finishing up med school and residency.  She always makes me think, always challenges me to go deeper in my walk with the Lord.

AVT Coach @avtcoach@blogspot.com--she's 4 of 8's incredible Auditory Verbal Therapist and is one of my heroes.  She can weave words, quilt beautiful blankets and make me laugh...hard.

Tami @ verbal1--she's a co-hort of AVT coach and has the coolest hair--EVER.  She's a fashion diva with a heart of gold.

Gill @ me-n-him-n-them--absolutely one of my most faithful readers--and a world adventurer--Australia, Tasmania--this girl's international!  And a wonderful photographer to boot--love my UK buddies!

and last but not least

Steph @ problemsolvin'mom--we chit chat and twitter and dig each other's photography and just all around enjoy hangin' in ye ol' blogshere!  Here's to bloggin' buds, Steph!

Okay, I'm really trying to follow the rules with just 5--but so many of you have such great blogs that inspire and encourage me and make me laugh!  Many a hug to you all!
