I’m excited to be a part of the “One World One Heart” blogging event/giveaway for the first time this year!
In keeping with the magic carpet theme of this year’s event, the first prize is an 8″ x 8″ print of one of my “wee planets” (winner’s choice). These are entire mini-worlds for you to explore created from 360 degree panorama photos. What a great trip to take on that magic carpet you found! Below are a few of the worlds you could take home:
Planet Path, rural Bryan, Texas
Planet Winter Hotel
Planet Swanage
OR, your choice of wee planet from my gallery!
The next prize (because why stop with just one?) will be a handmade mini-book created especially for you by me. I’ll be making it this week so I don’t have a photo to show you yet…and that makes it a surprise! I can post an update later when it’s ready, though perhaps it should it stay a mystery…?
[UPDATE Feb 6th: The mini-book is ready! For those like me who can't resist temptation, you can PEEK HERE!]
To enter, simply place a comment on this post. Be sure to include a valid email address so I can contact you if you win!
Deadline to enter: Midnight on February 14th
Winners will be announced: February 15th, 2010
Remember to check out the other participating blogs by clicking on the logo to the left. If you have a blog, there’s still time to participate in the giveaway – details on the OWOH site.
I hope you can take the time to read some of my other posts to learn a bit about me and my art and also have fun visiting the other blogs in this grand adventure. Good luck, everyone! (And I can’t wait to check out all of your blogs, too!)
[UPDATE: wee-hours of the morning of Feb 15th:]
COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED – WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!
It’s past my bedtime…I’ve been too busy visiting your blogs! Thank-you so much to everyone who visited me and left comments. I do hope you will stop by again to see my latest creations… Drawing will be tomorrow (the 15th) after I’ve had a little sleep 
Good luck, everyone!

Hello,
Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my OWOH Giveaway. I’m so sorry to hear about your Sister. To lose someone we love so much, and that we are used to being in our lives for our whole life just sucks! My heart goes out to you too!! The void is indescribable – sending you healing hugs. Please include me in your draw too. Your photos are amazing.
Take care xo
Nikki, Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
These planet prints are so neat. Very original.
I also find the ways your family is honoring your sisters life truly wonderful.
Thank you too for the questions you post. I need to be asking myself quite a few of them. And I am always trying to keep my muse alive.
You seem very wise.
A real joy to meet you.
