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  end is today February 14 – this One World One Heart Giveaway – is the post where your comments will be chosen from.

Thank YOU for stopping by and reading my blog.
