One World One Heart 2011

 

One World One Heart is a huge worldwide event which gives bloggers a chance to check out all kinds of wonderful blogs and creations made by others.  It is a great way to meet some wonderful people all while sitting in your most comfortable spot right in your own home or Starbucks or wherever you enjoy the blog reading you do! The participants offer a prize, sometimes more than one for stopping by, checking out their world and leaving a comment to say hello. It's great fun! This is the 5th and final year for OWOH.  This is my 2nd time participating.

For those of you visiting here for the first time, Welcome!  My name is Sandi and I enjoy paper crafting. It can be merely paper or include paints, inks, stamps, fabrics, mixed media, anything goes really.  I also scrapbook, sometimes digi, sometimes not. It's all good! I live with my husband, daughter, a big dog, a little dog and a cat whom my daughter has dubbed "the evil genius."  We like to travel, don't get to do as much as we'd like, and do hope to add more traveling both near and far to our future. If I'm home and not caregiving, I'm in my craft room, in the garden, reading a book, watching political news or HGTV (hmm, wondering what that says about me ;) or hanging with the pets - Charlie, Annie and Socks.

This year we've been dealing with a serious illness within our extended family so there has not been as much time to create. We have become caregivers, drivers and spirit lifters.  My appreciation for nurses has increased dramatically and I know with certainty why I always told my Granny "NO" so emphatically whenever she suggested I put that on my idea list of what to become when I grew up. I was not cut out to be one.  Nurses have a special something extra that I do not.  It's called the ability to give shots and well...take care of so much that I haven't a clue how to do. 

I'm hoping to maybe create a little something as an added prize here, but only time will tell. If I am able to make a prize, I'll update this post. Meanwhile, I do have a couple of new items that might appeal to those who create. 

If you have a blog (remember, this is a blogging event) and leave a comment to say hello, I'll happily enter you in the drawing.  Please include your blog so I can drop by and visit you also. The random number generator will choose the winners.  The drawing will take place and be announced on February 17th. If a crisis should arise on the date (we've had a few here) the winners will be announced as close to the 17th as possible. Happy blog traveling!

Prize number 1 - Tattered Angels glimmer screens.  This is the TREES set.  They're wonderful for adding backgrounds to projects.

 

Prize number 2 - A rubber stamp of.... a TREE and some beautiful woodland creatures.   

At least I seem to have a theme this year.   Good luck!  Have fun in your blog travels with OWOH.
