Welcome to the 2010 One World One Heart Extravaganza – I’m so excited to be a part of this event! OWOH began as a way to connect bloggers around the world whose paths might not otherwise cross. According to OWOH creator and host Lisa Swifka, this event “transcends geographical location, socio economics, political affiliation, and religious beliefs.” The event has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2007. Last year, bloggers from 28 countries participated in the event!
One of the things that makes this event so special is that each participant offers visitors a chance to win a gift that they have chosen from their heart. After much thought, I decided to offer visitors the opportunity to win a beautiful journal from my personal collection. I picked one of my favorites because I wanted the recipient to have something really meaningful from me. The lovely combination of handmade paper containing pressed flowers and unlined paper makes it perfect for artistic journaling!To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment that includes your name and a way to contact you – either through your blog, your e-mail, or both! If I draw your name and you are a Follower, you will receive an extra gift with your prize! You may enter the drawing until February 14th, 2010 at 10 p.m. PST. Only one entry per person please! I will announce the winner on February 15th, 2010.
I look forward to connecting with many kindred spirits over the next few weeks! Have fun exploring my blog – I hope you’ll visit again soon!
FEB 15TH UPDATE: Thank you for making my first giveaway such an overwhelming success! The contest is now closed and the winner is posted here!

Hello, so pleased to meet you.
Your handmade journal is wonderful, there is no better gesture of love or gift from the heart than speaking with the language of flowers. I love your book.

There's something so delicate and lovely about pressed flowers. Makes me think of Spring!
