Lisa Swifka created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who might never ordinarily meet and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and friendships that are still going strong. 2008 tripled that number and in 2009 there were 911 participants! 28 countries were represented.
This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.......in the end it's about finding kindred spirits. Someone who may be fairly new to blogging, not sure how to navigate, can find others and have others find them....Some are long time bloggers and in some cases well known in the blogging community. Whatever the case it brings all of them together.
This is an INTERNATIONAL event that has had participants from the US, Canada, France, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Malaysia, Brazil, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, England,Wales, Slovenia and more. Generating a closer community, friendship and goodwill through blogging.
Feel free to join in(until the 15th I think) and visit other blogs by clicking on the OWOH logo. All blogs participating are on the right hand side of the OWOH site.
I will be giving away a signed calendar of my art work:)Click on the picture below to see all the images:)
All you have to do is leave a comment here until midnight Feb 14th and I will announce the winner on the 15th. There must be a way I can contact you via email:) Thanks and enjoy the bloggy ride around the world!
and the winners of the One Heart One World draw are .....
#11 Wabii Sabii-Running with Scissors and #195 Katie Foley!
I had 501 entries! Thanks so much for entering!

ps, love the name of your blog and the reason for it.
I'm spying so many delightful pictures as I scroll down. The calendar would be wonderful!
:-) gina
the calendar and photo would be lovely to win but the opportunity to find your blog, even better! I often "see" beauty in different places. I can filter it in my eye and brain but I've never been able to transfer it to a photo or art and so it's been my own private enjoyment. Your photos seem to capture how I look at things in this lovely world. Egads... I feel a spending spree coming on soon! :)
Wonderful giveaway items! Please put my name in that drawing! Now, please come visit my blog...I am also participating in OWOH! I am off to spend some time on your blog and I am looking forward to it!
