Blog awards! Tiara time :)

Swarovski tiara

So it seems like May is the month for lovely awards from fellow food bloggers. Give me a second while I assemble my tiara (yes I have three), a sash and a sceptre (will a roll of foil do for this?).

E for excellent award

I received two E for Excellent Awards from two great bloggers, from the lovely Claire from Melbourne Gastronome and the fabulous Sinead from Airy Fairy cupcakes. Thankyou ladies, it’s truly an honour! I need to pass two of them on so I shall pass on the E for Excellent award to: Maria from Foodie Wanderings. I love her honesty and humour and she has become a great blogging friend. The second one, and not because she gave me an Arte Y Pico award, Y from LemonPi because she bakes like a demon!

Arte Y Pico

In addition to those two awards, I received an Arte y Pico award from my fellow Sydney food lover Y from Lemonpi.

The rules behind this award are as follows:

1. Pick five blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and the link to the blog that has given her or him the award.
4. Award-winner and the one who has given the award have to show the link of Arte y Pico blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5. Award winner must show these rules.

So the five other blogs I’d like to give this Arte Y Pico award to are, Grace from A Southern Grace, Patricia from Technicolour Kitchen, Sinead from Airy Fairy Cupcakes, Belle from Minty PetitPois and Kim from A Yankee in a Southern Kitchen. All for inspiring me in various ways through their gorgeous recipes, food styling and humour.

Love,

NQN

    Hi Iron Chef Shellie-Thanks so much. How exciting-would love to see it when it arrives :)

    Hi Adrasteia-Thanks so much, that’s so sweet of you to say! :D

    Hi Y-Thanks! Tiaras are underrated as an accessory and should be worn more without fear of recrimination :lol:

    Hi Patricia-You’re most welcome, it’s the least I could do! :)

    “It’s all about you” Lorraine.

    That’s a saying my American brother-in-law started in our family (long story)..

    But yes, WoW.. so many awards, how excellent is that?!

    –CONGRAAATS!!– And an Adriano Zumbo cake for you!

    I sent my *Congratulations* by email.. however.. I’ve received 3 undeliverable email notifications.. but I’m hoping at least one went through? I only write this here now incase no emails went through? I tried to forward on the “undeliverable” messages too.

    ((Takes a bow)).. I humbly accept my award for excellence.. *thank you so much* !! :-D

    Hi Lorraine, Thanks for passing on the award to me, and congratulations on all of yours. I want to be just like you when I grow up (blogging-wise, that is!).

    Hi Maria-Hehe it does sound a bit like a meme fest doesn’t it :lol:

    Oh no I wonder what is happening with my email :( I wish I knew what was going on. I checked my spam in case it went there and nothing :(

    You’re welcome, you totally deserve it! :D

    Hi belle-You’re welcome belle and thankyou :) Hehe I’ve got a long way to go myself! ;)

    Hi Kudzu Fire-Thanks so much for the compliments! :D

    Congratulations Lorraine for winning these awards! You really deserve them for your hard work, beautiful presentation and information about all the restaurants. Artistic photography by your husband makes it all to look even more delicious…
