Yeah! One World One Heart Starts Today!


Welcome to the begining of One World One Heart. 
ONE WORLD ONE HEART 2011Check out this link for more details.

http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/a_whimsical_bohemian/2010/12/annoucning-the-fifth-and-final-one-world-one-heart-event-.html


This is my first year to be involved in One World One Heart.....and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful bloggers out there. I hope to make some great new friends all over the world.  I am married with two daughters and 7 grandchildren.  I live in Michigan and right now I am in Alabama and Florida trying to get away from all the ice and snow at home.  Soon I will have to head back to my Michigan home....I miss my family too much.   I love artsy things....at the present I am trying to make jewelry, needle felt, sculpt clay...especially realistic OOAK babies, and hand stitch OOAK miniature teddy bears.
Today, I am heading back to Michigan from Idex (International Doll Expo) in Orlando, Florida.  It has been so great because I have met some of my internet baby group friends here for the first time.  Also I have met some other famous sculptors and saw their babies. I bought my first silicone baby here from Rita Rich and this little sweetheart is so beautiful....so tiny and dainty.

 When you visit my blog and this post, just comment and let me know if you are interested in winning a giveaway.  Please tell me where you are from and how I can get in contact with you to tell you if you are a winner.
Now, I want to show you my giveaways....I have three, one for each week.  The first one is a tiny handmade dolly for your dolls, and the other two are handmade mini clay piggy banks.  I have made all three of the giveaways, but, they aren't quite done in the pictures.  I forgot my Genesis heat paints at home, so I will have to paint and finish them next week when we get back to Michigan.  There are 3 piggy banks in the picture but only 2 are for this giveaway.  Good Luck!

Connee:
(I like the spelling of this name better!) I had a great time on your blog. Reading the posts about your various pets. Your cousins sound like my cousins, they made my little brother ride a cow once! Luckily, he didn't get hurt because that cow did not want to be ridden! I love the little bear in the dress. She's so dainty and cute. But, the baby dressed up as a bear stole my heart. I even awwwwed outloud, all alone, and giggled. Thank you for sharing your marvelous little darlings with the blogging community. Hope you have time to hop around yourself! Tina

I love these little piggies since I missed the first doll for my babies. It makes me thing of the poem for babies. "This little pig went to market", and the smart stayed home to save his pennies.

Your baby doll is cute as can be and the pigs remind me of an old joke about applying for a credit card. I got turned down when they asked me the name of my bank and I said, "Piggie." :) Merci encore!

Hi Carolyn! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you had a fabulous time at the doll expo... it sounds like you did! I wanted to be sure to stop by and enter your adorable giveaway (could those piggies be any cuter?!?!) Plus, I wanted to answer your question about the vintage paper packs... I make them up myself from books and papers I've purchased from antiques malls, received from relatives who stash paper away, and from book sales. The paper packs will include papers from atlases (my favorite), old ledgers, school books, and other fun books from my stash. Hope that answers your question! :) -Shelly

Liv said...

Hello from Australia!
Awwww...aren't those piggies and the lil dolly adorable?!? I think I have the perfect spot for either the dolly or piggy to sit... and I have a Thai wooden elephant that looks the same size as the piggy banks, so I'm sure they'd get along quite well! :)
Can you please enter me in the drawing for your great giveaway? Thank you so much!!
You're more than welcome to visit my blog, where I'm also having a OWOH giveaway! I'm number 591...
