Winner of the One World One Heart Giveaway

Little French Bed and Calendar

I waited until Midnight and then I counted the final comment. I felt a bit like when I was little and I didn’t want to go to sleep until Santa came. Then, I looked to see who won. Early this morning I got up and set out to write a post announcing the winner of the One World One Heart Giveaway.

Winning-post

I’m so glad it was you. The winner is Rue from Rue's Peanut and Butter Life.

winning-post-2

I would love to thank the wonderful Lisa from A whimsical Bohemian for creating this wonderful event. At a time when our world seems upside down, you came along and turned it right side up for just a while. Reminding us that no matter what...people are wonderful and everything will be okay in this One World with One Heart. It might sound silly, but I wish it wouldn't end, what's that I see? Oh yes, Lisa will keep the OWOH blog open for quite a while so we can visit all of our new friends from around the world.

Rue, I will be contacting you to get your mailing address. Congratulations, your number was selected out of 763 comments.

I felt so inspired with so many lovely comments, that I will be adding hand-painted journals to my Etsy shop in the next week. The song for this post is Anyone At All.

100_2083Please leave a comment on this post to be entered in my giveaway. At the end of this post I have the link to the Gypsy Caravan and you will be led to so many wonderful posts all over the globe participating in this event. I wanted to create something special for OWOH. I love painting inside special journals.

100_2083On a recent trip, I purchased a lovely journal. On the cover is an antique print of a robin, and the corners are embellished with glitter.

DSC05199

100_2083Inside the lovely treasure are satin blue ribbons to be used as bookmarks.

DSC05198

100_2083I think journals are such a magical place to write your dreams and keep your special thoughts.

Garden NotesPerhaps the winner can write special quotes, favorite scriptures, or perhaps a journal of secrets inside. Just in time for Spring to perhaps keep Garden Notes.

DSC05258

100_2083I have so many beautiful stamps with lovely images that seemed to fit nicely with Mr. Robin on the cover.

DSC05212

100_2083Creating this journal as a give-away was a perfect opportunity to use some of these images.



100_2083I also added some wonderful Vintage cards on some of the pages. Since this is a gift for you, I can use all kinds of things to create.

DSC05254

100_2083I started with choosing stamps that went with the theme of this lovely journal.

DSC05229

100_2083Then I stamped each page with a different image.

DSC05213

100_2083Once I had all my pages stamped and the ink was dry,

DSC05217I started to hand-paint the details and added a few elements of my own to the designs.

DSC05248

100_2083In the front of the book I created a pocket for a Vintage greeting card.

DSC05222

100_2083I thought it would be a nice touch if someone wanted to give this journal as a gift.

DSC05225

100_2083Here is a peek inside.



100_2083Of course there are bits of magic tucked into little pockets throughout the journal to surprise you.

My creation

100_2083This journal is a "one-of-a-kind" journal,

My creation

100_2083especially designed for Lisa's One World One Heart giveaway.

100_2083You may leave a comment up until midnight on February 11th. I will be announcing the winner on February 12th in my post on this blog. Then I will e-mail the winner to let you know and to request your mailing address.

DSC05195

100_2083So, please leave a comment on this post and I will include you in the giveaway. My giveaway is open to EVERYONE.
