One World One Heart 2011

-o- This Giveaway draw is closed now - Thankyou -o-

Welcome to my little part of Blogland!!
It's that great event again...
One World One Heart
(2011)
Hosted and Created by
Lisa has been organising this event to give bloggers from all over the world the chance to meet and to get to know each other through their Blogs
 Thank you Lisa for all your time and commitment for this wonderful Blogging event.
 For full details from the Hostess herself
It's the 5th (and sadly the final OWOH event)
I participated for the first time last year, visited some interesting Blogs and met some kindred spirits along the way! 
-oOo-
So, If you are flying by my Blog for the first time...
Hello, My name is Jan, 
 I live with my very understanding Hubby, 3 sons and boisterous (I think thats a nicer word than Naughty!!) 10 month old pup..
(who all put up with my crafty cravings!!) 
 in Essex, UK
I'm addicted to all things crafty...
It all started with cross-stitch and cardmaking
..but over the years it has progressed into atc's, scrapbooking, altered art (Mmmm, I think I have tinkered with most crafts!!LOL)... and I have recently discovered a love for fabric, lace, vintage & shabby....
I just love trying out all types of crafting, entering challenges and trading crafty art with peeps from all over the World.
-oOo-
..and the bonus to this awesome event, is that you can win a door prize along the way, just by popping by peoples blogs and leaving a comment..How cool is that!!
So Here is my door prize..
Anyone who has peeked at my Blog just recently will already know that I've been a tad addicted to altering matchboxes!

So I made this one for the giveaway...
...and I will fill it with little treasures,
charms, beads, buttons etc...
which will be a surprise for the recipient!
-oOo-
I will list the winner here on the blog at the end of the event and contact the winner by e-mail.. -so don't forget to leave a way to contact you!
-oOo-
Looking forward to flying around Blogland and meeting you all!
Thanks again Lisa, for making this all possible!
..and thanks to all for stopping by....

Jan x
