One World One Heart Time

It's that time of year - One World, One Heart is on!  You can click on the logo on the sidebar to get to the list.  I participated last year and enjoyed it, and I hope you who participate have fun looking at all the neat stuff. 

Photobucket


I am currently living in Uruguay and craft a lot.  I've at least tried everything I've seen involving a needle and thread.  I will be moving to Moldova later in the year, and it will be a challenge with one LARGE dog and two cats, especially with nearly two months in the US in the middle.  Anyway... on to the goodies:

I will be giving away three temari balls in your choices of color, mine of pattern.  There are a lot of temari in prior blog posts so you can see what they are.  The drawing will be around nine in the morning URUGUAY time (which is GMT -3 currently) on February 17th.  Just leave a comment with a way to be reached to enter!

I just learnt of the wonderful initiative of OWOH, I am too late to give a give away myself but you are welcome to visit my blog.I learnt this is the last year of OWOH, I do so hope and pray someone else takes up the initiative and this beautiful concept does not die out.
