I could lie and say I got two awards this week, but in reality I got one this week and one a really long time ago. So long ago that I lost the image file I had saved and had to search the blog of the person who gave it to me in order to track down the image. Hopefully I’ve already established that my lack of outward gratitude doesn’t mean that deep in my heart I’m not seriously honored to have received them.
So- from Momma’s Tantrum (my favorite potty mouth) I go the award on the right for Creativity. The person who started this blog is Arte y Pico which sounds delicious, doesn’t it. Shame on me for growing up in LA County and not understanding enough Spanish to read her blog.
For this award, I have to
• Choose 5 blogs deserving of this for their creativity, design & material.
• Each award should link to the giver of the award
• Link to the Arte Y Pico blog (I already did that)
So here are the 5 most creative bloggers I can think of;
1-Karla at Looking towards Heaven is wonderfully creative, she’s actually a designer and her work is simple, yet beautiful. She has a very distinctive style, I feel like I could identify her work in a lineup, yeah she’s THAT good. And her blog is good, too.
2-Vintage Chica- not only is she super creative but she just got back from a trip to Nicaragua and tells fantastic stories of her time there, with pictures.
3-Michelle at My Heart’s Design, who makes such beautiful scrapbooking cards and photo layouts- BUT get this, when she takes the pictures, she gets down at an angle so you cna see the dimension and the textures of the embellishments. That’s the best part; that’s what sets REAL scrapbooking (which I’ve never done) apart from digital scrapbooking (which is fun) Anyhow- she sells her cards in an etsy store, and she’s a really neat person. You should go and buy them all up.
4-An Altered Journal Journey, who also has an Etsy shop. I totally stalk book alterers. I am fascinated by altered books. I want to do it one day. I just have this stupid thing about, um, not writing in books. Definitely not folding pages. Cutting pages? Painting on them? stapling them together? It’s more than I can handle, and how do you know when you’re done? I’ll do it one day, but for now I just stalk those that do. It’s got to be my favorite art form. Like scrapbooking, only naughty.
5-Heidi from The Trivial Pursuit of Happiness and my due date club, She’s amazing, and her girls are beautiful.
Oops- I’m doing 6 here because I also like A local girl’s day in pictures (but who doesn’t?)

And on the left, from the beautiful and intelligent Tina at Send Chocolate, I got the magic lamp of luck. The rules for this one are quite complicated, you can view them here at Mariuca: The Genies Return!I promise, I followed most of the rules, OK.
So- the magic genie is going to my amazing friend Mrs Pevensie, who has crashed a borrowed bicycle and dealt with a chewing puppy, but she’s awesome and she runs marathons. I get tired just thinking about it.
And also to Emily, whose life is filled with house guests, hospital visits and organic food when it should be filled with just house guests and organic food.

That concludes my acceptance speech. Back to regular programming, whereby I attempt to explain the dog situation in my house via pictures.
