One World One Heart ~ Year 3

It is year 3 of the One World One Heart giveaway. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of it since the beginning (here & here). It has been such a wonderful experience to meet so many bloggers from around the world. I'm so inspired looking at other artists & their work. I could read blogs everyday, well, I do! I was even a lucky winner of some beautiful pictures last year.

If you are new to my blog, WELCOME. Take a look around! I'm a little goofy (hopefully you'll find a few laughs) but oh so passionate about art & my life (love that crazy little family of mine!). You can click here to check out the rest of my blog.
If you would like some background information about this giveaway take a look here. Lisa Swifka from A Whimsical Bohemian has been the wonderful hostess for this event. She is the brain behind all this. Last year, the party was featured on Artful Blogging. I was also privileged to be featured in this article. It was this little push that gave me the confidence to consider sending my work for publication.

This year, I am giving away a favorite bracelet of mine, Fruit Salad. It is a triple strand bracelet made with Czech seedbeads, teardrop beads & fire polished beads. The middle pendant is a slider component with crystals & enamel. To be eligible for the drawing, you need to comment on this post & leave a link to your blog or email so I can contact you if you are the lucky winner. You don't need to be a blogger to win. I will announce a winner on Thursday, February 12th, so please make sure you comment by 11:59PM on Wednesday February 11th.

I encourage you to visit as many of the blogs listed on the One World One Heart Blog. I can't tell you how many blog friends I made & was inspired by. I plan on participating every year as long as I'm able. I'd like to leave you with some of Lisa's own words about this event:

"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 many prizes along the way...This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.......in the end it's about finding kindred spirits. Someone who may be fairly new to blogging, not sure how to navigate, find others and have others find them....Some are long time bloggers and in some cases well known in the art community. Whatever the case it brings all of them together...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."
