One World ♥ One Heart

It sounds so hopeful, doesn't it? Kind of like a big lovefest....

That's because it IS.....

One World, One Heart is a worldwide blog event created by the enchanting Lisa Swifka over at "A Whimsical Bohemian". Beginning today, and for two weeks, we can jump aboard the magic carpet and be whisked away to bloglandia, stopping here and there along the way, meeting new friends, connecting with kindred spirits, and extending goodwill with our little *giveaways*.

Which brings me to my own humble offering for this year's event....


A wooden Valentine Box, hand painted by Yours Truly, and adorned with sparkly pink Swarovski crystals. There's a message inside too, from me to you....


Mon Ami. My friend. :)

In keeping with the event's guidelines, all you have to do to enter is leave a comment here (be sure to include your blog and/or contact info), and I'll draw a name on February 15th. Yes, it's the day after Valentine's Day, but I think this little box could stay out all year, don't you?


What would you put in something like this? Pennies? Candy Kisses? Needle and thread? Car keys? Jewelry? CATNIP?! Wherever it goes, and whatever use it's put to, it will arrive with my blessings, and my wish that it bring many years of enjoyment. :)

Thank you in advance for taking the time to visit with me! I'll try to make the rounds as I can, although I'm absolutely buried in commission work this week, so it may take awhile. In the meantime, please know that I LOVE hearing from you, and do sincerely appreciate you dropping by!

One World, One Heart....what a lovely ring that has. Maybe we can make it happen, one event like this, one creation at a time. ;)

Artful Blessings,
♥ Carolee

Overwhelmed!

....But in a good way. :)

No new art today, as I'm a bit fuzzy from medication following a root canal earlier today....

But I thought I'd pop in to say a quick THANK YOU to everyone participating in the One World, One Heart event..... I never in my absolute wildest dreamed of such an overwhelming response to my little star box giveaway - over 400 comments/entries and counting!

The best part about this online event has been "meeting" new friends and discovering so many creative souls out there...I'm still winding my way down the list of participants (I think I'm up to almost 300 now!) and am entering many drawings, but am refraining from entering those that much as I love, couldn't use - I don't have pierced ears, so would rather those gorgeous earrings offerings go to someone who does, I don't do scrapbooking, so would rather see someone who can use scrapbooking supplies benefit from their use, etc...

But I am SO enjoying visiting each and every blog! It's both encouraging and heartening to see the amount of positive, creative energy out there in the world, and it gives me hope for the future. :)

So if you haven't already, please do drop your name in the hat by clicking here and while you're at it, click on the link to the "gypsy caravan" of participants and check it out - you'll be so glad you did. :)

Until tomorrow,
~ Carolee
