And The OWOH Winner Is................................

....................................Well, first, I want to thank everyone who took the time to stop by and visit! Especially, the few who decided to follow me. Altho, that was not a requirement of the OWOH contest, I really do appreciate it! I am hoping that some of the others who entered, will find me interesting enough to come back and become a follower!!!

I installed a blog counter at the time of the contest, and am astounded at the number of people who do actually stop by! It will be interesting to see if the numbers stay up there, now that OWOH is over.

I love comments, but I love my "lurkers" too!!! Thanks to the blog counter, I now know that people are visiting, and that makes me happy!!!

I am sorry I did not get around to all the OWOH participants- and I am sad to say, I did not even get to visit MY winner's blog!! She had such a lovely giveaway too!!!
Over time, I do promise to try to make it to all the participating blogs. I am a follower of almost all the blogs whose contest I entered- there are so many interesting and talented folks out there in cyberdom!!

And, we all MUST thank Lisa over at Whimsical Bohemian (click on the OWOH logo on my sidebar to visit her) This was an amazing undertaking!!!! She had well over 1,000 participants(beating last year's total!), and I don't know how she kept it all organized, without some hair pulling and late nights at the computer!!! Kudos to Lisa for a job well done!!! Hopefully, we will get to participate in this again next year!

Now, enough chatter- the winner was picked by a disinterested (very!)third party-when told to pick a number between 1 and 221( and that wasn't counting my own comment in the list):

THE WINNER IS #111:

Trianna's Treasures

I looked thru your blog this morning - and have an idea of what you like - now I have a better idea of what to fill the teacup with!!!

One World One Heart Begins Again!

I almost missed it again this year!!! Starting tomorrow, and running thru Feb 15, Whimsical Bohemian is organizing the OWOH 2010 event.

I am really excited about participating this year, and very happy that she is willing to organize this again - it is ALOT of work, I am sure!!! Next week, there will be a link on Whimsical Bohemian to all the participating blogs, so you can take a tour in blogland, and meet lots of interesting new folks!



Here is a link to read all about it and find instructions on how to participate, and here is a brief excerpt from her blog:

"WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE HEART?

I created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.
We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number. In 2009 there were 911 participants, to say I was amazed is an understatement. 28 countries were represented in the 2009 event as well.
This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.......in the end it's about finding kindred spirits."

There is also a link on my sidebar.

Just leave a comment here, AND on any of the sites you visit, to enter each of the sites' giveaways. A comment here, enters you in my drawing, comments on other OWOH blogs enters you in their individual giveaways.You can visit as many as you like to enter. And, becoming a follower is ALWAYS appreciated, but not required to enter!

Since I participate in Tea on Tuesday, I thought my prize should be tea related. It will be this vintage Bavarian china teacup and saucer, with linen napkin, and bl&w napkin ring.There is a cute little Celestial Seasonings magnet too. Included will be some teas, maybe a tea wallet,or a pincushion-whatever else strikes my fancy to add to the pile!!!
