ONE World - ONE Heart (because all the cool kids are doing it)

*******Edit: It's 8.40pm on February 14th NZ time - that means the draw is closed. But stay tuned, my dears... I will be announcing the winner soon!
And here it is!
**********

After seeing some beautiful posts around lately featuring some super cool giveaways, I decided to join the ONE World - ONE Heart event. I've been meaning to do a giveaway for ages and this also seemed like a good time to officially launch my new blog. So here it is, and thanks to everyone who takes the time to visit me here! If you don't know about the OWOH idea, click on the link above to go to the official site. There is also a list of the participants (over 200) who are all hosting giveaways at their own blogs. So much pretty eye candy on display...


These are some little wooden art pieces measuring about 20 x 50 mm. They have been painted, drawn on, collaged and embellished with little rhinestones, before being liberally coated with a lovely shiny glaze. Together they form the phrase "Live, Love, Laugh". The back side has a magnet, so you can attach them to your fridge, filing cabinet or any metal surface!

Check out my Flickr page for more photos.


All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment here. But be quick, because I'll be drawing the winner on February 14 (6 days from today). Looking forward to hearing from you!

  9. This is a great idea! However, I just moved across country and have most of my stuff in storage. What I would like to do, is go into as many of the blogs as I can and sign in. If my name gets pulled by anyone as a winner, I will donate $100 to AIDS Foundation in memory of my brother. If my name gets selected more than once, I will up the ante an additional $10 every time it gets pulled (greedy I know, but one can dream!!!) If my name is not pulled by anyone, I will still make a $50 donation. This way, everyone is a winner.

    I hope to get my name drawn at least once.
