One World - One Heart Giveaway

What a wonderful response I had from all of you, my blogging buddies this year!!

Early this morning, the random number fairy (ok, I had my DH do it) selected two numbers.

The winners this year are from these two blogs: Simple~Needs and "Stampgram". I'll be sending out the goodies as soon as they respond to the emails I have already sent.

I'll be stopping by the blogs of all of those that responded over the coming weeks (and trying to revisit the blogs of all 911 (!) participants). Thanks to you all, and happy blogging!!



Last year I participated in the One World - One Heart Giveaway, and it was a lot of fun.

So, this year, we're doing it again!!

Here's how this works:

I'm going to be giving away 2 items from my studio.




Item #1

This is a bead embroidered heart pin.

The entire thing measures about 2 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall, with an opening in the center.

It is made entirely of size 15 seed beads, except for the flower and leaf beads at the bottom of the fringe.

The back of the pin has a soft covering, and it has a safety clasp pin.





Item #2

A set of 4 notecards that include four seasonal backgrounds and my hand drawn bird and bear.

The notecards are printed on nice card stock and are accompanied by a quality envelope for each.




So, now you're asking, "how do I win"?

Leave a comment on this post (only comments on this post will count), and make sure you include a way for me to contact you.

The winners (2, one for each item) will be chosen by random drawing. The drawing will take place on the morning of Thursday, February 12th, and will be announced here on my blog.

As I am posting this, there are already 475 other artists around the world that are participating in this event.

If you'd like to go check them all out, use this link.

Happy blogging!
