One World One Heart Giveaway!


It is that time again and it is a Magic Carpet Ride...One World, One Heart is a blogging event that was started by Lisa Swiftco of the Whimsical Bohemian...It has grown to epic proportions and last year, included bloggers from all over the world.....Please click on the logo on my sidebar to go to Lisa's blog and find out how to participate...
As far as my blog, WELCOME and thank you for coming by....I was in the event last year, and made some really good friends...I also won three wonderful giveaways and got to visit all kinds of beautiful blogs...Blogs that I never would have found on my own! For my blog give away, just leave a comment with a way for me to reach you in case your name is drawn....please also feel free to look around and have a little visit...I love company! You must have an active blog to participate in this giveaway since it is a blogging event.......It ends February 15th when will draw a winner....
Here is my prize:

It is a handmade charm necklace on a gunmetal colored chain.....I wore one of these to a craft fair and people were coming up to me asking where I got it, so I thought it might make a nice prize....It is a longer necklace, and it looks really pretty against a sweater or plain blouse....I also have decided, for every 100 entries, I will be adding another giveaway to this post and they will get bigger....So leave a comment, have a look around and go visit some blogs! This is going to be fun.....Melinda
Update: It is The second day of One world, One Heart and I have over 150 comments! holy cow...I am answering them and also visiting blogs and seeing so many woderful things...After a lot of thought I am going to cap out the prizes at three....I just dont want to overextend and have anyone be disappointed....so My second prize is a custom quilted and painted pet portrait....There are about 11x 13 roughly and really fun....Here are a couple I have done.....

this is Elvis in real life.....
and here he is made into a quilt for his owner......

I did one for One World One heart last year and Marilyn Butler won...This is her cat Emma......

and here is Emma immortalized in a quilt just for her mom.....(she was really hard to do with all the grey).....

Thanks again everyone for stopping by and keeping me so busy!!!!!

Hello, pleased to meet you. I hope your magic carpet ride is full of wonders?

Your charms are a seamstress delight, wow. i have never seen anything like that before. Unique. Your quilts are amazing. If I was to win I would be really torn beteen giving you a picture of my best friend of 16 years, ho sadly left me some time ago. You would have loved her, a onderful colllie, or suggesting that you donate a piece to a sanctuary for art for the animals. Have you heard of them?

In this case, I think I may have to be selfish as I loved my dog dearly and your work would be a credit to her xJ

Hello, pleased to meet you. I hope your magic carpet ride is full of wonders?

It actually brought tears to my eyes when I saw your pet quilts. I have pictures of my beloved Bane, 13 years young when he crossed the rainbow bridge, and with me every day of his life (from birth - I actually delivered him) Yes there is another dog in my life now, but Bane will always have my heart.

Okay sorry, back to the happy magic carpet ride. I am having so much fun riding the magic carpet around the world and seeing such lovely blogs and amazing artisians.
