One World, One Heart WINNERS!

-
How much fun did you have during One World, One Heart? I had the best of times! Would you believe, I set a goal for myself of visiting each of the more than 1000 blogs that participated, and I met that goal just last night! (Just to clarify, I visited them but didn't enter all the giveaways -- only the ones I really would have loved to win!)

I really enjoyed all the new blogs I saw, and I bookmarked more than 60 of them that I want to re-visit in the coming weeks! I have already, I hope, made a few new friends along the way -- and that's the point!

Many, many thanks to Lisa Swifka, the founder of OWOH and the webmaster extraordinaire who keeps it going for the event!

Okay, do you want to hear who won?

The winner of the Marie box and Aynsley teacup is...

...Kathy!

Kathy wrote: "What wonderful offerings! Your work is amazing and I am so grateful for the chance to enter. Kathy #339 OWOH"

Congratulations, Kathy!

AND

The winner of the Tag Collection and Ephemera Package is...

...Stampgram!

She wrote: "These are lovely offerings. Your ribbon embroidery is lovely. Being a collector of "stuff" I am enthralled by your ephemera. And that cup set is absolutely beautiful. Please enter me...I want to win."

Congratulations to both of you! Please email me with your mailing address as soon as possible -- but definitely before February 18!

My sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who visited during this event, and to all the new followers! Let's keep the conversation going all year!

Congratulations to the lucky winners!

I visited every single blog but, like you, I restricted myself to entering only those giveaways that I simply couldn't resist.

Here's a tutorial to make sweet baby Jesus ornaments: Materials: 3/4" round wooden balls blue felt like-sized small wooden stars flesh-colored acrylic paint yellow acrylic paint black permanent marker small button as star decor raffia natural excelsior "moss" silver thread or coordinating yarn candy cane You'll also need glue or a hot glue gun, paint brush and scissors Begin by painting the wooden balls with flesh-colored paint and the stars with yellow paint. When dry, draw two sleeping eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, cut small pieces of felt and make little rolls to represent the baby's body; tie with a tiny piece of raffia. Next, glue the wooden ball onto the top of the body roll of felt; if you wish, you can also cut a small wedge of felt to glue over like a little swaddled hood on the baby's head, but I think it looks cute without it as well.

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

We visited this wonderful building that began its life in 1888 as a lavish hotel built by Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, and now houses Flagler College . It is such a beautiful old building and in it we saw: these fabulous Tiffany chandeliers... on a spectacular painted and embossed ceiling in one of the hotel's drawing rooms.   I apologize for the quality of the indoor photos -- it was quite dark in the building. I had to laugh at these painted cherubs on the ceiling... and the way their ribbony robes encircle the chandelier mount! This large clock over the mantle is special because it's a Thomas Edison clock and because it is made from one piece of rare onyx.  We were told that Edison's "signature" on his clocks is the use of the incorrect Roman numeral "4". But the most spectacular feature of the building is that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself made the stained glass windows. Most of Tiffany's windows a

O Christmas tree, jeweled Christmas tree...

Earlier in the season Rebecca and I went to a craft fair at a local high school, and there was one booth with the CUTEST little jeweled, framed Christmas trees! The gal was nice enough to let me photograph them.  Sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was dark in that high school gym! I know it's an older kind of craft (from the '60s and '70s) but she made them sweet -- not gaudy at all.  We were both SO inspired. So, last week we made it happen.  I brought a bunch of my old, broken vintage jewelry, some velvet, glue,  old frames, and we sat in her dining room and made a forest of little trees! It was so simple: first, we took a vintage frame and covered the backing with velvet.  We just glued it on. Then, we took our time arranging bits and pieces of jewels into a Christmas tree shape. When we were happy with the arrangement, we committed and glued the jewels down!  I love this avocado green velvet! And then we did it again.  We had so much fun playing
