One World One Heart (Giveaway Closed)

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I'm participating in a wonderful event called One World One Heart, a fun event where bloggers around the world share a little bit about themselves and post a little giveaway. 

So, let me share a little bit about myself.  I'm a stay at home mom of 3 little boys living in Texas (though I grew up in California, first living on a boat, then moving to the mountains.).  I'm a Christian.  I'm an artist.   I like writing, creating, gardening, exploring the nature in our backyard with my kids, and many other things.

Now, for my lil' door prize...

Some glass beads! I finally got a picture up of them. :-)

(No, I didn't make them myself...just some I had extras of).

TO WIN MY DOOR PRIZE
To win, leave a comment and a way to contact you (your e-mail, or your blog link is fine so long as you allow comments and check them).    Open worldwide, to anyone over 18. Entries accepted until 9:00 pm CST Feb 17.

JOIN IN
If you have a blog and would like to participate, you can still join in until Feb 12th.  Find out how here.

Austrailia Day Giveaway and Game!

Happy Austrailia Day!

I wanted to wish all the Australians who may be visiting a Happy Austrailia Day!  


For those of you non-Austrailians, there's a fun Australia Day game going on at Make it Crafty, and its introduced me to some fun new Austrailian phrases, like...

Bob’s yer uncle
(No, actually, he's my dad.)

Good Onya!
(Hmmm...some sort of Austrailian blessing)

She’ll be apples

(As opposed to "she'll be oranges")

You can see a bunch more at Make it Crafty, and come up with your own meanings for them if you like!  But of course, she didn't tell us what any of them actually meant, so...if you happen to have some Australian knowledge or are willing to take the time to look it up, you can win a postcard from me here in Texas by telling me the meaning to the phrases about or any of the other ones listed on Make it Crafty in a comment below.  And if you happen to BE AUSTRALIAN you can win an even cooler prize here (no phrase interpretation required).

DETAILS

This givaway is only open to Austrailian residents over 18 (though you can ask your mom and dad to enter for you if you're younger).  I'll need your e-mail or your blog address where I can leave you a comment so I can contact you if you win.  Prizes not claimed within two weeks will also be forfeited.  Postcard Giveaway Ends February 1st (because I'm not sure about the time zone differences I will wait until the next morning close the giveaway for new entries). 

Helping Each Other

Ten Talents recently closed their This for That list, where blogger would help each other with bloggy things (like getting followers or entries for giveaways and other stuff like that).  But luckily, Learning to be Thrifty is taking up the baton with her new Helping Hands Linky, which works the same way that This for That used to!
