One World One Heart Drawing!



The big day is finally upon us, and the kitties have worked hard to choose three lucky winners.

Buster contemplated the daunting task before him, eying the over 300 slips of paper liberally doused in catnip crumbs. (That's right - you who submitted herbs in an attempt to bribe the judges may not have considered that all the papers would become contaminated as they awaited the big moment, making it impossible for cats to tell which had originally carried the enticing offering. Oh well, they appreciated it nonetheless.)
It wasn't long before The Sidler arrived on the scene to offer his assistance. Between the two of them, they sniffed and snuffled, drooled a little and scattered, eventually choosing three lucky and very random winners.
#1 Breathing Beside Us, who gets first choice of the two originally offered pendants.
#2 Greenish Lady, who will receive the one BBU declines.
#3 Meandering Pearl, who will get the mystery prize.
This was much fun (despite a little work, which is to be expected when one chooses to hand write and cut the entries, and eschew modern conveniences like random number generators. Although, I must say my number generators were about as random as they come) and I wish I had more prizes to offer.
Thanks to all of you for visiting, looking at my site, leaving clever and/or sweet comments. I hope we will continue to get to know each other.
I do wish this was a less stalky, more trustful age, in which postal addresses were not kept so secret, as I had the urge to send out some further spontaneous surprises. Requesting an address though, sort of takes both the spontaneous and the surprise out of the idea.

One World One Heart Giveaway!

Apologies for the smallness of the image; I've been unable (so far) to replace it, but if you click it, you should get a nice, clear, full size view.

Thanks to everyone who visited me! Wow - 333 - the kitty will have his work cut out for him when it comes to choosing. Commenting is now closed. Winners will be contacted Thursday, Feb. 12, and a new post will announce them as well.


I'm happy to have learned of the One World-One Heart project in time to participate this time. Of course, I'm much more proficient at making tactile things than arranging blog posts and pages, so lets all cross our fingers that I can get the info where it belongs!


Lisa Oceandreamer Swifka started this amazing project, and it has certainly blossomed into quite a collection of creative souls. Last I checked, there were over 300 blogs playing along, each offering a delicious prize (sometimes even more), and all you have to do is visit each one, have an inspiring browse, leave a comment & your contact info, and bingo bango - you could be a winner!


For more information, click the One World-One Heart logo. It's a fine, fun way to explore the lives of countless other fascinating people, and make some new, inspiring friends from all over the world. What more could you want?

Oh yeah, maybe a prize in the mail.....


GlassGrrl will be giving you a choice and who doesn't like one of those? Leave me a clever comment (or not, if you don't feel up to the clever part, but I bet you can do it) between now and Feb. 11 (2009 of course). In the early wee hours of Feb. 12, one of my wise and witty cats will choose a lucky winner from amongst the comments (only comments on this particular post will qualify, but feel free to spread your thoughts around if you want).


The winner will be notified by me (cat can't use the keyboard yet with any accuracy), so be sure to include your email and/or website.

Upon winning, said lucky participant will get to pick one of the pendants shown: either Jellyfish, which is made with a piece of green sea glass, twisted, hammered copper wire, and coated with shiny silvery leadfree solder; or, Mucha, two-sided microscope slide pendant. The Mucha image has been enhanced with metallic paint, and the reverse side contains a mini collage with a nautical, French ambience.


Update: since I've gotten so many lovely responses, and there are days and days yet to go, I've changed my giveaway just a bit. The winner will still get to choose from the two pictured pendants, but the cat is going to pick out two more lucky names after that; one will receive the second necklace, and the other will receive a super duper secret mystery pendant. So hows about that? Your chances of winning just tripled. Sort of. Carry on.
