Arte y pico

I have the memory of an elephant. 

The saddest part is that I used to have a great memory. Or at least I would like to think that I did. My best theory (I have a theory for everything) is that the Lord took my memory away in order to give my children a great memory. I'm okay with that.

I cannot tell you how many times lately someone has brought up an event or instance that has obviously been impacting and they begin to recall the events to me. I can tell by the excitement in their eyes that I too, should be remembering a play-by-play of what they are talking about. I do have wheels spinning in my mind, but they are saying something a bit different. Rather than recalling the event, my thoughts sound more like: Think. Think. Come on Ashley. You were there. Don't you remember? Just think."

Nothing. 

I can come up with nothing. 

It's almost as if I was never a part of large portions of my life. 

It frustrates me.

Kayt is asleep and Noah is having 'room time' so I decided to make myself a rare, late morning cup of coffee.  As I was brewing my joe, I suddenly recalled a thoughtful award that Tiffany at Southern Sass gave to me quite some time ago.

To Tiffany I would like to say thank you for your thoughtfulness.  At the time, we were in the middle of a busy traveling schedule and I remember thinking that when I got home and things settled down I would respond. And then I forgot.

This is the beautiful Arte y pico Award! 

-Since I would consider myself a blogging-novice, I don't fully understand bloggy terms and such so the idea of awards is a bit unknown to me. None the less, I would never want to not pass along something that implies that someone thought of me. Especially someone I have never actually met!-

My 5 recipients for creativity, intellect, design or such are...

1)My dear friend, Lezlie Andrew is such a talented photographer and her work is amazing! Her talent is impossible to deny. She deserves more than a blogging award for her work, but since this is what I have to pass along I hope it will suffice. 

2)Magen's design on her soon-to-be-born daughter, Anna Grace's wall can't be passed up. You can tell from the pictures she is a great decorator and very creative!

3)I am very impressed by Emily's intent on learning so many new skills. Her aprons look great and her photoshop efforts are inspiring.

4)Amelia's blog is really fun to read. She is such a funny person; you can tell by her writing.

5)Brooke is new to the blogging world! Gotta welcome a new girl with a little love, right?

Thanks Tiffany!
