I'm a Winner, OWOH Giveway from the Colour Guru

Do you remember telling you about the One World One Heart Giveaway? This year there were over nine hundred participants from around the world. I entered a few, really only a handful - the ones I just adored, but since I never win anything I didn't think I had a prayer so mostly I used it as an opportunity to visit and discover artists and their work.

So you can imagine my surprise when I got an email from Keron all the way in Australia aka The Colour Guru that I'd won her amulet necklace!!! I am so excited and can't wait to get it.

Keron has recently started Love It Forward, a project where from her site:

We are about 'sharing the love' by randomly leaving 'heARTs' all across our communities, on our travels, randomly posted - for people to feel loved. No agenda - no timetable - no expectations - no profit - not for any personal gain - just to share YOUR heART with someone who might feel touched by it. If you would like to join in, click on the heARTs tab, and you'll find some simple instructions.. You are welcome to read the HEARTfelt stories in the photo gallery - please join us.

IF you have recieved or found a heart, please click on the box in the right hand column & if you'd like - please share your story - you don't have to leave your name - it will just encourage whom ever shared it from their heart in the first place.

Isn't that a lovely sentiment? Stop by Love It Forward and see how you can join in and find out details on how you can help comfort a Victorian Bushfire victim by making a handmade doll.By the Way: the Valentine themed playdate I was supposed to host today got postponed due to our two little guests of honor being sick. So you all have to wait a bit longer to see how that went!
