Come join the magic carpet ride......

I'm taking part in this wonderful event again this year. I had so much fun the last two years, I want to experience that again. Let's face it, I'm sure we'd all agree with Cyndi Lauper when she sings, "Girls just wanna have fun!" LOL!!!

WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE HEART?

The wonderful Lisa Swifka created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or two (or even three!!! LOL) 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 blogs and their creators. You never know, you might win a gift and meet some new friends, just like I did last year. Above all else, have fun!!!

I haven't decided what to make for my Give-Away yet, but it'll be something like one of those displayed in the slide show. Oh wait, since we're going on a 'Magic Carpet Ride', it seems appropriate that 'Your wish should be my command!!!' So you get to choose which sort of gift you'd like from one of the options displayed. I might even add some more items between now and the close of the event. Mmmm ...... I've always wanted to have a go at making some of my own jewelery. LOL. The ideas are running around inside my head and making me feel very dizzy!!! It really does feel like I'm on a 'Magic Carpet Ride' with all of you tagging along.

Woo Hoo!!!

I hope that I have many visitors from many parts of the world who decide to stop by and say, 'Hi!!!' The 'One World - One Heart' event actually begins 25th January and ends 15th February - I'll close off my comments at 8.00 p.m. (Lisa's time) and announce winners by 10.00 p.m. that same evening.

Ideally, participants should have an active blog to participate, but I'm just happy to have visitors to my blog. If you leave a comment on 'THIS POST ONLY' of my blog, with your world location (city/country) and a means to contact you (e-mail/blog address), you will have a chance to win one of my handmade or altered gifts.

Until next time......

Cheers

I'm still here......

"Hi, everybody."

If you're still visiting my blog I want to say, "Thanks, for sticking by me." I've had another bad year and I'm just managing to keep my head above water. I didn't create a great deal during 2009, but I did manage a few things, so I'll get together a 'catch-up' post in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to a happier and more productive 2010.

Until next time......

One World - One Heart News

WOW, 200+ Comments!!!

You all know what that means, don't you??? Time to add another item, so I now have 3 give-aways to be won!!! I've also decided that the winners can choose which give-away they'd like to win. Woo Hoo!!! I'm loving this event even more this year than I did last year. Oh, and I forgot to say that I only have to visit wagon numbers #512 to #611 and I will have seen them all. I haven't added my name for every give-away; I didn't want to be too greedy!!! Mind you, some of my visits have been short, but each and every one of them has been oh so very sweet. I've enjoyed my visits so much that all I can say, in the words of someone famous, "I'll be back!!!"

Until next time......

'ONLY' 200 blogs left to visit.



I'm still visiting the sites on the list and hope to have visited all participants by early next week. I've been at home with the flu since last Sunday and I think that's the only reason I've been able to get through as many as I have. I've not had the energy to do much else but sit in front of the computer and check out the wonderful talent out the in 'Bloglandia'. I have to share something embarrassing, but quite funny, I was on such a good roll yesterday that I left a comment on my own blog!!! Yes, that's right, my own blog, but wait, the funniest (and most embarrassing part) is that I didn't even realise what I'd done until I had to moderate my own comment!!! LOL!!! I decided at that point in time, that I needed a break.

BTW, there's a great number of blogs that I will be visiting again so that I can have a good look around. I think my 'Google Reader' is going to be working over time in the near future. Well done everybody.

Until next time......

One World - One Heart Update

311 Down, 600 to go!!!

OMG, this event just gets bigger and better each year. Lisa Swifka needs to be congratulated 'big time' for putting this together again this year. I have no idea how or what process Lisa has had to work through, but I can only imagine that the time and effort involved has been absolutely humungous!!! I, for one, am truly appreciative of Lisa's commitment to this outstanding event.

I've managed to visit 311 wagons from the 'Gypsy Caravan' so far, with 600 still to see. I've been blown away by some of the generous give-aways out there and truly inspired to create more often and become more adventurous with my 'art'. I promise to visit each and every one of theses wonderful wagons before the cut-off time because I don't want to miss out on experiencing the talent of the wonderful group of 'artists' that Lisa has managed to get together.

One more time - LISA SWIFKA, YOU ROCK!!!

Until next time......
