And the award goes to...

Moi!! I have received several awards lately and have yet to retrieve/receive them. I have to say I feel a little under-qualified for them, but I will graciously accept!!
The first is from Monica. This meant a lot, because that girl is like blog royalty to me. She was the first one I ever found.

2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/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 presented her/him with the award.

4.The award winner and 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. (there was no link provided, so I don't have one to include)

5. To show these rules.

The second award was from Dawn.

My third award came from Lori. She is becoming a fast friend and I have enjoyed getting to know her better through emails.

I am so flattered with all the awards, especially since I haven't been blogging long.

Now, here is the part where I am supposed to bequeath these awards upon others. I kind of feel like I can't do that. The whole getting picked last in gym class and all... I dedicate these to everyone on my blogroll and the kind girls that leave me such wonderful comments. I really do feel like y'all are an extended part of my family!!
