A special thank you goes out to LaShan at A Lil Enchanted for honoring me with this award!

Thank You

I want to thank Sweet Serendipity for this gracious blog award.

I was honored to be included in her list of award winners!

Spreading Blog Love.

Time to catch up on some awards I've won. Each award comes with some variation of the "rules". I'm not so good with rules, so I make up my own.

I will select three blogs I enjoy for each award and the winners may or may not choose to pass them on. No pressure, I know there are a lot of these being passed around. So here it goes:

Thank you so much Obi-Mom Kenobi for this one. Love the cool colors!

I'm passing it along to: Tropic Of Mom, Arty All Sorts and Enchanted Dandelions.

Many thanks to Vixen's Den for this one. A girl can never have too much gold!

I'm passing it along to: Riding With No Hands, The Junk Drawer, and Beetle's Memories & Ramblings.

Last but not least, a very sparkly thank you to Maternal Spark for this one:

I'm passing it along to: Maitri's Heart, Vixen's Den, and Obi-Mom Kenobi.

If any of you have won these before, feel free to ignore. If not, enjoy and thanks to all for the terrific blogs!

I Won A Sparky!

Etsyrati On Alltop!

I just got great news, My Etsy shop has been listed among Etsyrati on Alltop!
According to their own definition:
"You can think of an Alltop site as a “digital magazine rack” of the Internet. To be clear, Alltop sites are starting points—they are not destinations per se. The bottom line is that we are trying to enhance your online reading by both displaying stories from the sites that you’re already visiting and helping you discover sites that you didn’t know existed"

Alltop is the best and most efficient way to find the sites that interest you all in one place. The best part is you can read about each site's latest posts or listings right there before you decide if you want to click over or not.
Efficient and organized, just the way I like it!

Honored Again!

This has been a busy week for awards!

Patsy's Words of Wisdom has honored me again with the Arte y Pico award.

This award was created for bloggers who inspire others with their creativity and their talents, also for contributing to the blogging world in whatever medium.

When you receive this award it is considered a "special honor". Once you have received this award, you are to pass it on to 5 others.

This time it seems there are rules on how to pass it along:

1. Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a blog link to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that gave them the award.
4. Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y Pico" blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

So here are my 5 picks for the Arte y Pico award:

1. Maternal Spark , full of spark and mothering fun!
2. Work at Home Mom Revolution, a never ending source of work at home ideas and solutions!
3. Little Acorns, great information and support for homeschooling.
4. Treasure Nature, is indeed a treasury of environment and earth friendly information!
5. NY Nitty Gritty, because if you want to visit NY but can't, this site will let you pretend.

There you have it, be sure to visit these great blogs and stop by Patsy's place as well!

I am Honored!

I was very moved to find out that Maitri over at Dragonfly Cottage selected my blog as one of her choices for the Sweet Home blogger award!



Her blog has been one of my favorites and once you visit I'm sure you will make it one of yours as well.
Now I will select my choices to pass the award on to:

1. Grandmother Wren, is full of practical tips and easy to read all around solid family fun.
2.Geek Mom Mashup, keeps up to date with all the new finds for technologically challenged moms like me.
3. It Takes A Planet To Raise A Child, is a well written guide to finding the best ideas for green living.
4. An Artful Journey, is a great learning resource for home-educated students. A daily adventure in art history!
5. Innstyle Montana , where I go to dream about the home and lifestyle I hope to have someday!

All of them a source of inspiration for me.
