Moments Shared Last Forever

I'd Like to thank...


Ok I am not sure if I am doing this right...Yikes can an award be revoked?


I received this award from Pony Girl http://ponygirlridesagain.blogspot.com/ I am at a loss! To think that I started just a few months ago, as a outlet for my photos, & random thoughts. Now I have a loyal group of friends who keep me laughing and learning! That alone is so awesome! For someone to think of me and present an award is very humbling! I love to hang out on Pony Girls page, so many great posts! "Thank You" Pony Girl! Truly from my itty bitty heart!! (Did I go over the time allotted for my acceptance speech?)he!he!


Lawza Daisy! I can only give to 5 bloggers...hmmm tough I love all my friends!


1.Black Jack Land and Cattle Company



I love this "Real" Cowgirls site! Always on the go, with the photos to prove it! Has stories of life, and what her days consist of. Great family atmosphere. Quick witted, and makes you smile thru her posts! Yes I love to pop over and visit! She also has some great photos. If she was my neighbor we could go on a photo excursion! Her last couple of "wordless" photos should be available to purchase!




2.Brown Eyed Cowgirls



This is one of my first blogs I found! I love her style! I love the fact that when you visit " it feels like comin home!" It's too bad I cannot pick my neighbors! I would have the Best neighborhood in town! This is another "True" Cowgirl, as well as her daughter! Awesome photographs, great life stories. I laugh daily with her around! It is a common sight to see her posts on my blog! She is honest and hardworking, I bet she hardly ever complains! Can't get anymore "real" than this! Definitely worth reading!



Bumps In The Road "A Country Girl Trapped In Yuppie Hell!"



LOL! I had to write out the whole title, it cracks me up!! I am giving this award to BITR Country Girl (get it Bitter) Yet again, I crack myself up!! This is a young girlie! Her out look on life is very grown up! (Well look past her (latest post) video game review) You would think she was "old" like me, he! he! She tells it like it is but makes you laugh at the same time. Great posts, down to earth, like the girl next door. I don't want her to live next to me though, those "girls next door" are always prettier!! Sorry, you are too young for my neighborhood, you have to be at least thirty something!! LMAO! You better stay in your "Lovely" neighborhood you adore! Sorry I couldn't resist, I tried honest!!( I love you and your not allowed to yap pup!) She also has some great photos (ladies ) you gotta see these! She is the "Carrie Underwood" of the blog world! Young and beautiful, and tons of awards! (deserved)Yes, She may be a "lefty" but she is "right"on!!


The Mills Family " Spanky"




Yes! that is her "real" name!! I am giving her this award because her "other blog" (The one I found first) http://spankisfamily.blogspot.com/ "A Day in Our House" I could not stop commenting!! Sure ther are pages that have great posts, and photos ! This one has the rooms of her house, SHE decorated herself! I wanted to move in! I love her style! I would love her to come to my little homestead and give it her touch! Very talented! Since then I have enjoyed her posts and comments! She has adorable children, and posts about them often! The perfect family! Yes, she is allowed in my neighborhood! She would be the one who showed up with the homemade pies! The first one to introduce herself to the "new nieghbors" *wink* wink* Yes! She is the sweet neighbor that comes to borrow sugar!! Then bakes you cookies! I am glad I came across her blog. So when are you bringing those boys over to ride!!


The W.O.W. Factor




And the final award, goes to my friend "Stubborn Cowboys Wife!" This is a "down home" Blog, he thoughts and way of life are an example we should all try. Honesty , hard work, dirt and tears! You can tell by her words life has been hard for her at times, but she has always moved forward. Accepting her trials and only getting stronger. There is humor and heartbreak. It is how you pick yourself up that makes the difference! She is standing tall. She is a proud loving women with a great knowledge of life. If you take the time to check her out, I promise you will learn something! Plus she walks around barefoot! Yes, she definitely could be in my hand picked neighborhood!!


THIS does not mean that the rest of my "friends" mean less, or don't deserve an award! Not at all! I will be watching reading and commenting for all of you! We all get our deserved rewards with patience!! I Promise! *wink* wink*



The designer of this award has asked that the following be passed along with it:
The origin of the Arte y Pico Award"This prize has arisen from the daily visits that I dedicate to many blogs which nourish me and enrich me with creativity. In them, I see dedication, creativity, care, comradeship, but mainly, ART, much art. I want to share this prize with all those bloggers that entertain me day to day and to share this prize with those who enrich me every day. Doubtlessly, there are many and it will be hard to pick just a few. The people I will name today deserve this prize, as do the very long serious list of bloggers I also enjoy to read. But I will name the first 10 and leave the rest of the work to all the bloggers that visit other's blogs and are nourished by them."
Here are the rules, if you decide to pass the award further to remarkable blogs in blogosphere worth to mention.
The rules:
1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.
3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award.
4. Please include a link to the “Arte Y Pico” blog so that everyone will know where the award came from.
5. Show these rules.
Thank you!!
