It is that time of year again. Lisa over at A Whimsical Bohemian is hosting her annual One World One Heart Blog celebration. So far there are well over 800 bloggers participating. Sadly, this is the last year she will be doing the event. So, if you have never participated, get going and join in! The whole idea of OWOH is for bloggers around the world to meet each other and maybe create some lasting connections. And, you get the bonus of being able to win prizes! Who wouldn't like to do that?!? To find out more about OWOH, just click on the link in my sidebar.
If this is your first visit here, let me tell you a little bit about me...my name is Olwyn and I live in British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. By day I am an elementary school teacher. By night I am a wife, mom and artist (not necessarily in that order!) I have been creating for as long as I can remember. I like to do lots of creative things: quilting, making jewelery, making visual journals, painting...well, you get the picture.
So with all that I do it was really hard to decide what to give away for OWOH but....I finally decided to make another necklace like this one. You can wear it with one strand behind your neck and three strands at the front like this,
Or you can tie a ribbon through the two metal washers and wear it as a four strand necklace like this,
Your necklace won't be this exact one but it will be very similar. It will have a mix of colourful beads and be a one of a kind, totally unique necklace. So, how do you enter for the giveaway? Well, there are a few rules you need to follow but they are easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. Here they are:
1. You must be an active blogger.
2. You must leave a comment. Please make sure that you leave your contact information. If I draw your name I want to be able to find you!
3. The winner will be decided on Feb 17 by a random number generator. I will post the winner on my blog AND contact you using whatever contact info you leave.
Thanks for dropping by! Good luck and have fun hopping around the OWOH blogs and meeting new people!
I hope I'm not too late!! I love your colorful necklace! Please enter me in your drawing, and stop by my blog to enter mine!

Olwyn,
What a wonderful necklace that you are giving away. I hope because you are on the west coast that I might have snuck in under the wire but even if I haven't I wanted to say hello from Edmonton.
I am a full day kindergarten teacher who loves to quilt, bead and blog. It seemed to me we have a few things that we both like. I know I will return to visit you after OWOH. I have enjoyed traveling around to the various blogs - so many wonderfully talented people sharing their love of creating.
I hope that you will come and check out my blog and pay me a visit. You can find me here:

Warmest regards,
Anna
