An Award!

Stefanie at Focus Organic has given me an Arte y Pico award – Thanks Stefanie!   This award was created to honor other bloggers who inspire us with their creativity, in whatever form it may take.   Now I get to choose five blogs whose authors show creativity and talent and deserve to be recognized for it.

I have to start with Crash Test Mommy.   Her blog never fails to make me laugh.   She has a fantastic talent for writing, and manages to slip in the funny parts when you’re not looking.

Kristen’s Raw deserves the award too.   I just discovered this blog recently, and I love all the ways that Kristen makes raw food exciting and tasty.   Way beyond salads.   And her blog is just inspiring in general – I dare you to read it and not want to go for a run and eat a bowl of strawberries afterwards.

Next up is On Purpose Living.   Alissa is a creative mom who inspires me with her sewing and her compassionate outlook on life.

Andy at Tight Fisted Miser definitely deserves a creativity award.   He’s going to live in a van to save money on rent – that’s thinking outside of the box.   And he’s starting a frugal blog network… stay tuned, as it’s going to launch on Friday!

And last but not least, I’d like to give this award to Mrs. Micah.   She’s wise well beyond her years, has a great personal finance blog, and started the Finwikian.   She has great posts all the time and never seems to run out of ideas.

I love all of these blogs, and hope that they will enjoy choosing other blogs to pass on the arte y pico award to.   And I think my readers will enjoy visiting these blogs and getting some good ideas.
