One World One Heart

Photo
The Deadline is Here. Winners are announced in the Feb. 15 date post.
Lisa, the Whimsical Bohemian, created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world. It enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.

This is an INTERNATIONAL event which will continue until Feb 15, it is like a Magic Carpet ride around the world. Lisa explains it best, "It transcends geographical location, socio economics, political affiliation, religious beliefs......it's a coming together like the giant community we are on this planet. If only it took a simple giveaway to create PEACE everywhere, in the mean time here we give from our hearts. We are not solving the worlds problems nor are we curing anything nor are we changing the world. We are merely generating a closer community between humans through blogging."

My gift is this Merino Wool and Silk flower brooch that I hand felted and hope will be an adornment you can wear on your Magic Carpet ride. If you want a chance to win this flower pin, please leave a comment on this post with a way to contact you (a link back or email) if you are chosen as the winner. All winners will be chosen on Feb. 15th. by a random number generator.

You can meet more people, have a chance to win their gifts by clicking on the One World One Heart logo above or on the right top of my sidebar.

Hooray, we have 100 comments today!! To celebrate, I am adding a gift of one skein of our Marr Haven merino rambouillet yarn.
It will be the Light Grey so it will go with any colors you like, plus it is 100% chemical free, all natural white wool blended with 10% natural colored black wool. Now we will have 2 winners on the 15th.
