OWOH 2011

Welcome to my blog for 5th and last OWOH - One World, One Heart happening, where bloggers come together :-)

I was a bit worried that I wouldn't make it, because I posted last year's OWOH wins to the receivers only yesterday... No, don't worry, it won't take as long this year.:-D I made a promise that I would have the gift ready and also an envelope to post it in, before I gave myself a permission to participate. ;-)

I have not been well lately, so this blog hasn't been updated properly, but I do post every now and then, and every now and then I post more than other times.

I'm 42 in 2 months, married, childless but not petless. We have a dog (so if you don't want dog hair, don't participate in this drawing.)
I am an artist and a crafter, a renaissance woman. I paint, draw, craft (fiber crafts, paper crafts), sculpt, make dolls, create fashion... or I am interested in these things. I have fibromyalgia, and it's making my life pretty miserable, and limited. My hands hurt usually so bad I can't even use them.
I love reading and writing, singing and music, I play recorder (badly :-D) and train our dog when I am not in too much pain. He's the smartest dog in the world, and it's a pity I'm so sick. :-(


I love the Pagan Sabbaths, from Halloween and Yule to all the rest of them. My dream is to make all 8 as big as Christmas :-D


This blog is my spiritual blog and a lifestyle blog. I am Pagan, and even though some of my ideas and thoughts are very "New Age", most of them are not. You will get a good idea of who I am if you look around here.

P.S. I am not very fond of Christians, and every now and then write something that is not nice to read about the subject, so if you are Christian, or find such rantings distasteful, hop over every blog post about Christians and Christianity. There is enough to see without those rantings too.

My thank you gift for one lucky visitor is a used deck of tarot cards, "Tarot of the Thousand and One Nights". It has not been used much, because even though I love the art work, the cards don't speak to me.

As said, they are very beautiful, and could be magnificent bases for ATCs, or as decoration in cards and scrapbooks.

Now, how to get a chance to win this?
a) you have to have an active blog
b) you can live anywhere in the world
c) leave a comment

I will pick a random number from hat the 17th of February - that's a week from now - and inform in this blog who is the winner, and I will also contact the winner in mail if I can. Otherwise I will ask the winner to contact me with her/his address information, so that I can post this bag to you. So be prepared to visit this blog again 18th of February, so that you won't miss your prize.

******* THE WINNER*******

Random.org gave me the number 27 and the comment #27 is Jody, from Tumbleweed Trails.

Congratulations, Jody! I hope you enjoy the deck and post a little pictures of what you do with it :-)

Aftermath ranting

Now, after the happening is over, let's share some statistics:

I visited EVERY ONE OF THE ALMOST 900 BLOGS. Every single one.
I had 454 visitors to this blog entry and 106 comments.
That means that HALF OF THE OWOH PARTICIPANTS DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO VISIT THE OTHER PARTICIPANTS' BLOGS.
SHAME ON YOU!

OWOH is supposed to be about visiting each others' blogs, learning to know each other and find new, interesting blogs to follow. It's about you getting some advertisement and paying for it by giving some attention to others.
No wonder it wasn't as good for me this year as it was the previous years. The "one world, one heart" feeling wasn't there. *sigh*

What ever.
