Miniature art - Theme Thursday

Miniature art is the theme at Theme Thursday. Here are two moos and an inchy. I must confess I actually made them a while ago for other challenges -the themes were fruit, metal and hats - but somehow I let time slip by and I didn't post them on time. So I'm finally posting them. :-) Thanks for looking!

Nature's awakening

Portraying nature's awakening is the challenge at TMTA and at Wednesday Stamper the theme is trees. I'm combining the challenges. Thanks for looking!

OWOH - new winner

As you know if you read my previous posts, Mitz was one of the two lucky winners of my OWOH giveaway. I e-mailed her to give her the good news, but she didn't answer back, so I had to pick another winner with www.random.org. Congratulations TWINKIETINYDOG! - You're the lucky winner of the pink necklace. 

OWOH giveaway winners

Before I reveal the names of my OWOH giveaway, I'd like to say thank you to all the kind people who visited my blog and left a comment during the OWOH event - 465 comments! Wow! I feel flattered that so many people want to have one of my necklaces. So now for the winners... I used http://www.random.org/ to determine the winners. Here are the prize winners:

The winner of the first prize (pink necklace) is the person who left comment 207 - MITZ

and the winner of the second prize (red necklace) is the person who left comment no. 343 - that's CREEKHIKER. Congratulations to both of you! I'll contact both

I'm really very pleased to know that so many people like the necklaces I made - 426 comments so far. Wow! That's certainly beyond my highest and most ambitious expectations! I'd also like to thank all those who've become followers of my humble blog. :-)
I'm having a lot of fun visiting other people's blogs too! I've found so many wonderful crafters around blogland! And the magic ride isn't over yet... It is indeed magic. Kudos to Lisa for taking the time to organise OWOH.
Hope you come back on Monday when the 2 lucky winners of my domino necklaces will be announced.

Have a very happy Valentine's day!

One World One heart 2010

One World One Heart starts today and for the first time I'm taking part in it. :-) I'm really thrilled! (Click on the picture above to find more about this international event.)

My blog giveaway is open to all bloggers worldwide! I'm giving away two domino necklaces I made. (For both necklaces I used bamboo tiles which I decoupaged and coated with varnish. The one with the little girl has a pink satin ribbon, a golden metal alloy bead and acrylic beads. The red one has a black cotton thread, acrylic beads, a metal alloy spacer and an oval polymer clay bead.) - Scroll down for more pictures.

 You only need to have a blog and leave a comment - PLEASE COMMENT ONLY ONCE - to be entered in this giveaway. However, don't forget to leave your email address or your blog address so that you can be contacted if you should win. The deadline to participate is February 14th until 23:59:59 Greenwich Time (This is Lisbon Time and I think it's the same as C.E.T.). On February 15th the winners will be randomly picked (with a random number generator) and announced on the blog. I will email the winners and they will have 48 hours to respond with their postal address information. After 48 hours alternate winners will be chosen.

Good luck!

Don't forget to spread the word and visit the other participating bloggers too! 

UPDATE!!!

OWOH is sadly coming to an end. :-( I'm very thankful for all the nice comments you left but the COMMENTS section is now CLOSED. Sorry, but I won't accept any more comments for this giveaway. The 2 lucky winners will be announced later today.

Inspirational words of 2010 - Innocence

At One Powerful Hour we're supposed to choose inspirational words for the current year. (This 4x4 didn't exactly go as planned. I realize now I'd rather have left the angels and clouds in sober black and white tones, but anyway...) I've chosen "innocence", not only as an inspirational word, but as a value I'll try to live by throughtout the year because it seems to be an endangered value in the world today. Even children seem to have lost their innocence... :-(((

Best buddies!

Snowman is the theme at Crazy Amigo. Thanks for looking!

Have fun!

Happy New Year to all the visitors to my blog and thank you for all your nice comments! May this be a very joyous and creative year to all and may God give you lots of time for your crafts projects! :-)

This week at Art Creations Friday they have an open theme, so I'm participating in the challenge with the ATC above.Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy Hallowe'en!

Don't drink too much on Hallowe'en... ;-)

Sparetime witch - 4x4

At Created by Hand the theme is Hallowe'en and at OnePowerful Hour we were asked to do something orange. I've combined both challenges. Thanks for looking!

Time ATC

Time is the challenge at Saturday Challenge aka Saturday Surprise. Here's my ATC. Thanks for looking! 

Punches - Crazy Amigo

Punches is the theme at Crazy Amigo Challenge.

(I made a skinny, an ATC and a bookmark, which I later laminated for protection.) The hen and turkey images were googled. The little girl image on the skinny is a freebie by Inka. The flower girl is a freebie by Graphicsfairy. As for the other little girl on the bookmark, I don't remeber whose freebie it is. (Sorry!)

Thanks for looking!

Marylin Monroe -TMTA

Marylin Monroe is the subject of this week's challenge at TMTA.

Look into a face - Montgomery Clift

The theme at TMTA is Look into a face. I had to have another go at this one.

Here's a face I've looked at quite often... ;-) Before there was Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Haydn Christensen, Gerard Butler or any other hottie, there was Montgomery Clift, my all-time favourite actor. :-) I guess you can easily imagine one of the reasons why he's my favourite actor. ;-) I've read somewhere that he was nicknamed "the Prince" - a very handsome Prince, indeed!
