    Hello from Australia!
    Firstly, I just wanted to say that I love the diversity on your blog – from your art, to the cooking (I love food!!) and those adorable cats!! And I love how you've included a whole lot of worship songs on your blog as well. (Michael W. Smith is a very nice man. I got to meet him very briefly a few years ago at Hillsong Conference when I was selling his merchandise.)
    Anyway… I have saved your blog in my favourites, so I'll definitely be back to have more of a look around!
    In the meantime, can you please add my name in the drawing for your gorgeous journal? Thank you so much! 🙂
    You're more than welcome to visit my blog, where I'm also having a OWOH giveaway!

    This is my first (and last! waaah!) time participating in the OWOH blogging event. I am having much fun, discovering so many wonderful creative people from around the world. *Ü*

    Okay, you totally had me at desserts, Mercy Me, the Chihuly ceiling, and those gorgeous Maine Coons (which are my fave breed and I dream to have one of my own someday!). I hope you will stop by my blog if you can too, where I'm giving away one of my handmade sterling cored European glass beads. Thank you and so nice to *meet* you!
