Arte y Pico
I was recently presented with this award, Arte y Pico, by the very sweet Jess at “Not a Housekeeper”. Thank you so much Jess for bestowing this on me! Jess is a phenomenal writer. Loving mother to two precious kiddies, extremely intelligent, a most excellent photographer *love, love, love her photos), and is very funny! Jess is so open and honest; her writing lends great insight into who she is and it’s never a dull read. I am really shocked that she even mentioned me. This is what she wrote: “JavaQueen always makes me smile. Her wit and candor with life is so refreshing, that I look forward to her posts. She’s constantly reinventing herself as a blogger. She and I go way back, through many blogs, but the person behind the blogger always is constant.” Thank you again for your kind words Jess, they mean a lot to me!

Congrats to you, JQ! You are very deserving of such a beautiful award. Like Joan, I only know a couple of the people you passed it on to, but I know they are wonderful recipients! The others that you chose, I will just hope to get to know!
Congrats to everyone.

**HUGS**
good job on that award
You didn’t have to say all that nice stuff! I mean, I’m really just a smartass with a website, so I’m not sure if I deserve all the love.
But I’ll take it shamelessly anyway.
And I meant every word.
Congrats, Woman!! that is so great!!
And thank you . *sniff* I loves it dearly!!!
Congratulations!!! You deserve any award that you get. You always make me smile too. I don’t know three of the five you picked but I do know Red and Odette. They are both terrific people to give this award to. Red, who let’s it all hang out, which I love about her and Odette, probably the sweetest young girl I’ve ever come across.
You are the bomb, JQ!!!!
