One Heart One World - A Blogging Event!
Attention friendly bloggers: this is for you! One World One Heart (OWOH) is an annual event and I'm participating for the first time this year. If you haven't already heard about it, OWOH is a big party where the venue is the world wide web, the party guests are us bloggers, and instead of standing around holding drinks and making small talk, we are reading each other's blogs to make new friends. The best part is there are favors! The party favors are a free gift we're going to give away to fellow bloggers who post a comment on our blogs!
The brainchild of Lisa, OWOH is a giveaway of epic proportions in that there are, as of today, already more than 400 blogs participating. That means 400 prizes you can enter to win!
Click on the blue logo above to get to the OWOH site; there you'll find more info about getting involved, like I did today (thank you, Sunshine & Ravioli!), and, most importantly, the list of links to the participating blogs who are giving stuff away!
About my giveaway:
My One World One Heart giveaway is open to anyone who also blogs. (That means you must be a blogger with an active blog I can visit to enter.) To enter, post a comment ON THIS POST (below.) At the end of OWOH, which is February 12, 2009, I will choose a winner at random and I will announce the winner here, as well as contact you if you've won.
I'm giving away this mini pillow which I made today especially for this giveaway:
This little pillow measures 6" square and is made entirely from vintage materials: the front and back are from two different 1940's era cotton floral screen printed tablecloths. The fabric on the reverse, which you can't see in this photo, is blue and white daisies. I sewed a square from a sheer, antique handkerchief with a blue and white lily of the valley motif over the top of the pillow, and trimmed it with antique pink crocheted trim. Finally, I attached a large vintage beveled button on top of the handkerchief. I love the way it turned out, and I hope you do, too!
Remember: you don't need to give something away yourself to enter to win my giveaway; you just need to be a blogger, post a comment on this post (below), and make sure you include your blog address, either via a link from your name 0r by spelling it out in your comment. That way I can visit you at your place -- which is the point of this party! -- and it also gives me a way to contact you if you win! (Important: Please make sure that if your blog doesn't already have a "contact me" link to email you, that you include your email address in your comment!)
Okay, I've got my cocktail in my hand (cosmopolitan) and I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I have never been to this event before so after seeing so many presents, I became a participant!
I am so amazed at the generosity. I am particularly moved by some of the comments that are so heartfelt.
This has really inspired me to be more creative and to blog more. I have enjoyed meeting you and getting in touch with your blog.
