It gives all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met from all over the world. In the past 4 years this event has grown to over 1,000 participants!<br /><br />Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house allowing you to travel without ever leaving your home........going from blog to blog(in various countries) seeing the wonder each one has created and meeting all the fabulous people behind those blogs. As a bonus each blogger participant will offer up a "door prize or prizes"....just for dropping by, saying hello and seeing their world. It's really that easy.<br /><br />If you would like to find out more and take part, pop over to the Whimsical Bohemian blog for the full details.<br />~~~~~~~</p><p align="center">Welcome to my blog, thank you for stopping by on your One World One Heart tour.</p><p align="center">My name is Lorraine and I am a part-time working mum.</p><p align="center">I enjoy making jewellery in my free time.</p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568806011443023458" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qwXhCKDX8CE/TUhfkAcfDmI/AAAAAAAABBM/JzQwHvSw5Rg/s320/Green%2BHeart%2BNecklace%2B1.jpg" /> Here is one of the necklaces I have made for Valentines Day.<br /></p><p align="center">I was lucky to receive a sewing machine for Christmas,</p><p align="center">so would now like to experiment and make some other</p><p align="center">craft items.</p><p align="center">~~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p align="center">For my One World One Heart Giveaway</p><p align="center">I am offering this wonderful star crystal bookmark,</p><p align="center">perfect for marking the place in your latest read.<br /></p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568805262120281218" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qwXhCKDX8CE/TUhe4ZABZII/AAAAAAAABBE/isvr42QhZJU/s320/bookmarks%2B011.JPG" /><br />Please leave a comment with a way I can contact you</p><p align="center">on the closing date of 17 Feb 11.</p><p align="center">I shall use a random number generator to chose</p><p align="center">the winner.</p><p align="center">Perhaps you could recommend your favourite book to me!</p><p align="center"></p>FairlyGirlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490233315670983663noreply@blogger.com206
