People have been so kind and generous to me during my illness, that I am more than happy to be able to give something to others. This is my first year participating in the "One World One Heart" yearly event hosted by Lisa Swifka at, A Whimsical Bohemian. Lisa created this event in 2007, with the original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. This enables bloggers to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize along the way.
You can read more about this event and see a list of all the participants here at: One World - One Heart! Go on, be adventurous, check out all of these wonderful bloggers.
To win the prize, all you have to do is leave a comment ON THIS POST only, with your name and link back to your blog or email address and you'll be signed up. Then, your name will be put into the hat for a chance to win. The prize? The lucky winner will receive one of the following:
The second prize is a handmade necklace made with high quality Swarovski crystals, gold filled beads and wire and is 16" long. Please signify which prize you would like to win. If you are new to my blog, welcome, and I hope you come back to visit.
The winner of the necklace was Cynthia Hartigan of Maryland
The winner of the calendar was Nancye of Nancye's Art and Beautiful Junk
Thanks for visiting my blog for OWOH. Nice to meet you! I'll pray for a speedy recovery for you. Bless you.
