ONE WORLD ONE HEART......:)


So its that time again .......... ONE WORLD ONE HEART 2011

What a fantastic event, i had so much fun last year visiting tons of blogs and meeting new people.

It was also sooooo exciting checking in each day and seeing how many bloggers had visited me :)

So what is OWOH 2011? [you can click the link above for more information]

Well its a coming together of the blog community run by Lisa Swifka from a whimsical bohemian., a chance to meet new bloggers and make new friends.
All the blogs are hosting a giveaway or door prize and it runs from the 30th Jan until 14th February....so keep checking in as new blogs are added daily.....
This years is the last event having run for 5 years, I can only imagine what a ton of work this is to organise so THANK YOU Lisa for all your wonderful effort :)

So i welcome you to my little corner of bloggyland in Australia :)
I like making mixed media in my spare time which is not as often as i like as i work part time...insert nearly full time :(
I love to get my hands dirty with glue and paint... but also love getting the sewing machine out and playing around. I'm into bright colors, layers and lots of texture and will have a go at any technique, sometimes with success, sometimes not! i love to share and often have tutorials, something im hoping to do more of this year.
My family are arty crafty so there is usually something messy going on in our teeny house !

I have 3 door prizes this year to give you more of a chance to win :)


3 A5 covered art journals.

They have blank pages with painted and sewn pattern tissue paper covers from Roben-Maries wonderful tutorial.

I really enjoyed making these and have so many ideas for making heaps more, just need to get some more old paper patterns...






I'm opening my blog prize to bloggers and non bloggers as i often receive comments from people who don't have blogs. They contribute to the blogging community too, so you are very welcome here :)

I will anounce three winners on the 18th February my time and winners one and two get to choose...:)

So i look forward to meeting you and i'll also try really hard to get around to visit your blogs as well as the the other owoh participants.....

have a good OWOH :))) oh and spread the word.....
