ONE WORLD ONE HEART 2011


THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED AND THE WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYBODY WHO VISITED AND LEFT A COMMENT. XX
I first came across this wonderful event last year, and was totally amazed. Hundreds and hundreds of talented bloggers participated in this event, offering wonderful door prizes to their visitors during the event, who were finding new friends and gorgeous new blogs to read. I found the event way too late last year to actively participate, but I was determined to take part this year. Right from the start of this 5th and final event. Sure. Yep. That was likely to happen, right? Best laid plans and all that, lol. Our last minute decision to go to France ( no internet at the cottage ) for ten days meant that I am very late, but still just in time squeeze in.

Have a look at the right sidebar if you want to find out a little bit more about me, or look through older posts, that will tell you pretty much all you need to know about me.

I am so looking forward to visiting all the blogs on the huge list of participating bloggers, which you can find
HERE. Lisa has done such an amazing job once again in organising this massive event. She deserves the biggest thank you hug ever!!!

I really appreciate all the people who regularly pop in to read my blog, and it makes me smile so much when new people start following my blog. I am offering two " door prizes ", and anybody, both old and new visitors, can just leave a comment on this post in order to be in with a chance to win. The only requirement is that you do actually have a blog. Thats it.

One door prize is this little pillow I made from a large oval vintage doily with beautiful whitework embroidery and gorgeous crochet lace. I added a sweet little image printed on fabric, a couple of handmade lace flowers, MOP buttons and some faux pearls from a vintage necklace -


I don't know what's going on with Blogger today, but it is going completely crazy at the moment. I can't post more than this 1 image, if I try and post more, it deletes everything I have written previously, the font size changes constantly, it is driving me nuts. I will have to publish this post as is, and hope that I can edit it properly later on. I have started over 3 times already, arrgghh.
UPDATE - weird, I have managed to post a few more pics with keyboard shortcuts rather than the mouse, but still get the ever changing font sizes, lol. Ah well.

Just to let you know, the second door prize is a big pack of antique and vintage ephemera, a mixture of French and English. I will post a photo as soon as Blogger lets me. And finally, Blogger let me, sort of, lol, just the one though -

I'll probably add a few more things to this pack, some vintage postcards perhaps, and possibly a little bit of French lace...... just don't ask me for photos today, lol.

I'll pick two winners on the 17th February, and email them as soon as the draw is done. So please make sure in your comment that I have a way of contacting you.


Toodlepip xxx.

PS - I have no idea why my writing is now in black, I can't change it back at the moment, arrgghhh!

UPDATE - I have had such a lovely response to my OWOH post, I decided to add three more prizes, so that there is 1 for each year this fabulous event has been hosted by Lisa -

I have added three little baggies with embellishments, one red themed, one blue themed, and one with neutral colours -



Good luck to everyone!

Your doily pillow is so cute - like a little doily ravioli. Or maybe a doily pot sticker? LOL. The ephemera package sounds great as well.
Love the snowy image on the top of your blog. We were spared the recent snow storms that blanketed most of the U.S. - until today - it's been snowing all day and into the night and we're now solidly back in winter. C'est la vie!
