Passing the Torch

Mompriest has awarded me the Arte y Pico Award, and I thank her for the honor. This is a traveling award for creative blogging, and the rules stipulate that that honoree picks five new awardees as stipulated in the following rules:

1) Pick five blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, in no matter what language.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) 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 itself.
4) The 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 -- which is here So, though it was difficult to choose just five, there being so much creativity out there (as evidenced by the fact that so many of you are already sporting this lovely lady) I present this award to the following bloggers:

The Crimson Rambler
whose wit and use of the English language can put me in a swoon any day.

Diane who was one of my
first blogging buddies and one of my first IRL contacts. And who I am going to be
proud to say “I knew when” as her first book is published.

imingrace who is being
ordained this weekend and who has been writing of the journey to that place
(which has been precarious at times) with the grace that fits her name.

Eliza whom I admire for her
incredible courage and literal grace under fire. The future of TEC is here and it is
good!

Ruth at Ruth’s Visions and
Revisions whose lovely pictures and words uplift me and thoughts about
those who are hurting take me out of myself. Thanks Ruth!
