One World, One Heart

It's that time again!

Photo

You may recall last year, I took part in the the One World, One Heart event that was hosted and created back in 2007 by Lisa Swifka. Well it's time again to meet new artists from around the world. I can't wait to get started with the blog hopping!

But before I do, let me introduce myself to those of you who have never been here before!

My name is Diana, and although I make a living by substitute teaching and plan to find a permanent position teaching soon, that's just a means to the end. In my heart and soul I am an artist. Oh, I let others squelch my creative fires for many years, before finally realizing it, but now, I can see my creativity growing by leaps and bounds.

Welcome to my little space on the internet! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Oh, one more thing, I am going to give away a special custom painted postcard to one lucky winner! Here are some examples of other postcards I've created:

Postcards

For your chance to win, just leave a comment here on this post and be sure to include your email or blog address so I can contact you if you are a winner. On February 14th I will randomly choose and announce the winner here on the blog, and contact you via email or your blog.

PLEASE MAKE SURE I AM ABLE TO CONTACT YOU! Last year some people have left comments with private blogger profiles and no email address, and I had no way of contacting those people. Please make sure when you comment that I can reach you if you win or I will have to choose another winner... :(

And now, I am off on a magic carpet ride to meet the other artists! (I am #410 on the list!) I hope you'll join me! Good luck!

ETA: If I get over 100 entries I will add another prize! So do tell your friends!

ETA: WOOT! We're over 100 entries!!! There will now be a 2nd surprize giveaway to be announced before the 14th. And if we get over 200, I will add *another* prize! So keep spreading the word!
