The fourth annual ONE WORLD ONE HEART giveaway starts today!!  From January 25 to February 15 bloggers around the world will be giving away items.  This giveaway is WORLDWIDE – one of the requirements is that you MUST be willing to ship (for free) worldwide.  Last year someone in Australia won my giveaway.

Let’s hear the drumroll … this prize of mine will be whisking off to some place around the globe … are you wondering what it is yet?  I am pretty sure YOU will be pleased … hopefully YOU will be the one who rides the magic carpet around the world … right into my prize.

The winner will be announced on February 15 – so be sure to leave a comment by February 14 – think of this as a Valentine’s Day gift for yourself (for those of you who celebrate this holiday).  In order to be eligible, you need to leave me a way to get in touch with you. Your email address is not public – I am the only one who can see it – so it is safe to fill it in.  Obviously, when YOU win this prize … I will need to be able to let you know.  I am willing to ship to wherever you are in the world – probably even to outer space if that is where you live … perhaps the magic carpet goes that far!

Drumroll … The prize is a Conundrum I card. It is a 4.25 x 6″ blank fine art card that is professionally printed. It comes with an envelope and is enclosed in a clear protective sleeve.  This is my vibrant colorful painting that many of you say is your favorite – that is why this is the prize.  I hope you will enter!

All the details regarding the 2010 event can be found here: http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/a_whimsical_bohemian/one-world-one-heart.html. Lisa of A Whimsical Bohemian says “The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.”

There are many bloggers involved (911 in 2009) from many countries from all over the world. Lisa continues “it’s a coming together like the giant community we are on this planet. If only it took a simple giveaway to create PEACE everywhere, in the mean time here we give from our hearts. … KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT…..therefore you must be willing to ship globally should your winner be from out of the country.”

I am very excited that this is international.  One of my cards with the vibrant, colorful painting Conundrum I is the prize. So some of you from other countries may well join in.  The  start is today January 25 – this post is the post where your comments will be chosen from.

Thanks so much for coming by!
