One World, One Heart {& giveaway}!



~This is now closed.~


Hello fellow bloggers and bloggettes! Welcome to my blog. This year I am participating in the One World, One Heart worldwide event.

I'm not really good at introductions, so here is a quickie: I love photography, traveling, journaling, scrapbooking, collecting old china, dolls and snowmen. I like to paint and to play with mixed media. I also love to read. I love reading in bed, on the couch, in the park, in the backyard, on the beach, in the car and yeah, even on the treadmill :)

As a participant in this global event, I'm giving away a door prize. This is my first giveaway! All you have to do to be eligible is to have a blog and to leave a comment on this post. On February 17th, I'll either use a random number generator or draw names out of a hat.

My giveaway is a scrapbook journal. I decided to make this little book because I love scrapbooking. Now I haven't scrapbooked in a long, long time, but that doesn't stop me from stocking up on scrapbook supplies.

JOURNAL-01

All items used are acid free and archival quality. The outside covers are 7"h by about 5"w with the pages being slightly smaller. They're from 7gypsies. Most of the papers I used for this scrapbook journal are from October Afternoon.



To view larger sized photos, just click on any of the pics. The book covers and pages are held together with ring binders. The rings pop right open, making it easy to rearrange the pages or add new ones.


If you count front and back, there are 26 pages. There are also a couple of smaller sheets tucked in. These rub-ons from Love Elsie and the 3D embellishments are included, too.



Thanks to Lisa Swifka from A Whimsical Bohemian for hostessing this global event. I cannot wait to visit all the other wonderful blogs who've signed up for this event. I am so happy I could participate in this final year of OWOH.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Oooh - gorgeous journal!! I have so many ideas of what to put in that already (that cover just calls out to me), and the embellishments would make it even more fun!

I so agree as well - I love to read wherever. Must admit...it has created a problem or two on the treadmill, though.. :)

Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Hi Michelle, Thanks for visiting on the OWOH event. So many inspiring, creative, and funny bloggers. Ali Cat looks so petite and pretty like a little statue on the tabletop in the sunshine. Enjoyed the tea party, too.

Thanks for an entry to your giveaway, the scrapbook journal is wonderful. Need a new mantra to stop procrastinating, time's awasting...So long for now.
