Another Award

Today i found out that I have received another award, this time from a lady fromCyprus, who i didn't even know had ever visited my blog.

I get very emotional about this kinda thing, just thinking that someone from another part of the world not only reads my blog, but thinks enough about it to give me an award.

The lady is boatbird
and she has given me the Marie Antoinette Award, Real Person,a Real Award

Many many thanks boatbird, i reeeeeeally appreciate it. thankyou xx

Here are the rules for the award:

1. Put the picture of Marie Antoinette on your blog.
2. Link to the person from whom you received the award.
3. Nominate at least 7 or more blogs.
4. Link to those blogs from your blog.
5. Leave a comment on their blogs to let them know you've shared the award with them.

I am just going to give the award to one person, and that person is
Viv over at Viv's Visuals
This is not only for her brilliant creativeness, but for being a great friend to me, especially over the past couple of months, when things were a bit of a struggle for me. She made me laugh so much i cried tears of laughter. She is such a funny, mad, GREAT friend, that I'd be lost without her now.

Bottoms up Viv, I've a glass of vino in my hand and raise it to you.
(makes a change i know, me drinking ROFLOL.)

Now I have to nominate 5 blogs who I think deserve this award too.
BUT ... my winners then are requested to do the following :

1) You have to pick 5 blogs who deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material and also contibutes to the blogging community no matter what language.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to the blog to be visit by everyone.

3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and the link to the blog that has given her or him award itself.

4) Award winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "arte y pico" blog (linked in my title) so everyone will know the origin of this award. (Cut and paste the info into your blog to make things easier)

So who do i choose, well this must be the hardest thing ever for me to do. I have made such great and talented artistic friends in the past year, and would dearly love to give each and every one of you an award. But alas this is not possible.

My first award goes to my dear friend

Viola. This lady's work is truly amazing. I find her very inspirational in every way.
Mieke. A new found friend from the Netherlands, I'm loving her art dolls.

As i first said, there are so many people i would have loved to have given an award, but I'm not allowed.
So Jan, Maureen, Wendy, Cindy, Angie, Ange, Jacky in Australia, Sian, Nicks, John, Sanja, and the list goes on, ALL ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ARTISTS, THANKYOU FOR EVERYTHING.
