AND THE WINNER IS.......

First I printed all the comments and cut them out and folded them up.
Then I borrowed a hat and put the folded up comments into it. I gave it all a good shake.

Then I asked a totally unbiased observer (my mother) to draw a name out of the hat....

and the winner is.......

Well done Ninnie. Your prize will be winging its way to you as soon as you email me your address.

As for everyone else, if you'd like to check back here in about 2 weeks or so, I'm planning to do another giveaway to celebrate my 100th post (this is number 81). Of course, if you'd like to check back earlier or any time at all you're all always very welcome.

Thanks for taking part. It was lovely to see old friends here and to meet some new ones. And a HUGE thank you to Lisa S. Oceandreamer for organising it all.

Natalie's joined the OWOH Event

Natalie of Conversations With Flowers has joined in the One World One Heart event and is giving away this lovely painting. She's a very talented artist. She's my daughter, so I ought to know.

If you haven't visited her blog yet, why not use the link above and leave a comment to be included in her draw on February 14 (Valentine's Day). The subjects of her painting are lovebirds, which is very appropriate because of the date and the event. Good luck.

I'm joining in with One World One Heart

ENTRY TO THIS DRAW IS NOW CLOSED (See post for February 14th to find out who won)
I've decided to join the One World One Heart Event, and this is my giveaway. It's a very small vase from the Argyll Pottery near Oban on the West Coast of Scotland. You can see how small it is because I held it in my hand for the picture (I don't have a giant hand).If you'd like to have a chance to win this vase, please leave a comment at the end of this post. If you don't have a blog, please make sure that you leave your e-mail address so that I can contact you if you win. The giveaway closes at midnight GMT on 13th February, and I'll draw the winner on the 14th in the afternoon.

There are now more than 240 bloggers taking part in this event, and you can find the whole list right here, so if you haven't been to Lisa's Heart of the Nest blog yet, there's only one week left.

Good luck!

One World One Heart

The One World One Heart event is in its second year, and is being hosted by Lisa at Heart of the Nest. The idea behind the event is to get bloggers to widen their horizons and visit new sites by offering giveaways or signing up for draws, or both. It's a great opportunity to meet and make new friends through blogging. You can find the event here. I heard about this through Karen at Karen's Korner , and so far I've been to visit Pea at PEA's Corner and asked to be included in the draw for this lovely hand decorated box:

I've also been over to visit Shirley at 100 Visions and Revisions and signed up for the draw for this lovely picture:

There are at least 150 participants in the giveaway so far, and we're encouraged to visit every single one of them and sign up for as many giveaways as we would like.

Such fun!
