OWOH Winners!

Ok, I actually got a chance to do the drawing before I left for work. The old hat was amazingly full, but we have the two lucky winners: Congratulations to Waxela S and Trisha D!!!!

I will email you both privately as well. So keep an eye on your inbox.

Thank you to everyone who participated. What a fun and exciting event. I hope to get to play next year.

Now, I will be concentrating on meat for my blog! I hope you will all check back with me as we're also hoping to launch the website with our product line in the next few months. I'm planning on some more giveaways too as this was a blast to participate in!

Last day for giveaway!

This has been amazing! I have been having such a blast meeting so many wonderful people and fantastic artists/creators. The sheer amount of talent that is involved in this event is HUGE. While I really didn't plan on visiting every blogger involved, I DID. I have spent so much time this last week checking out the amazing sites that my hubby started threatening to limit my online time! It's been addictive though. Some of these talented bloggers have so much to share that you just don't want to leave their sites. I have earmarked several (dozen) to go back to when the hubby isn't peering over the shoulder. Especially since I have found several lovely, lovely items that I must purchase for myself and gifts of course..

I've also been thrilled by how many wonderful people have stopped by my little fledgling blog! It has been so nice to see the kind and encouraging comments from some of you amazing peeps. I'm really getting organized now so that I can start blogging on a regular basis, about my farming & herb endeavors. I'm hoping that I will even have photos soon.. The camera seems to be working, but it's iffy. Maybe a great excuse to have to buy another?

Ok, so here's the plan: My drawing will officially close at midnight tonight (Pacific time). Tomorrow I will post the two winners and email them, this won't occur early as I have to work :( but I will have the names up by 5pm. The winners will then have 48 hours to contact me with their mailing info. I will package up their goodies and send them winging away to their new homes. Hopefully all will be happy and I will have kicked my blogging career off in a great, big way! (I'm also hoping people will come back to see me!)

Ciao for now! Until tomorrow at least.

Giveaway Update

WOW! I can't believe the response this has been getting. I was afraid that since I jumped on board reallllllly late in the game that I wouldn't get but a few comments. We're now over 100 and more appear to be coming.

Because of this.....I am adding a 2nd giveaway and winner. The 2nd drawing will be for another thing of bath salts and misc goodies just like the first! Everyone seems to be in favor of surprises so we'll just leave it at that. Sorry about no photos yet, the camera is malfunctioning again. Sorta adds to the mystery aspect though, doesn't it? Who knows what will go into the box.... I still don't yet, but I do have a couple of ideas whirling about my head.

Thanks so much to all of you for being so encouraging, offering support, and for letting me know that I'm not alone in this great blogging wilderness. I'm learning so much from some of my new blogging friends out there. This event has kickstarted new blogs and new friendships. Thank you Lisa!

The First Post: One World~One Heart

I have been putting off starting my blog because I didn't think I was ready as my business and the website are in the infant stages. I thought I would need much more to get rolling on a blog, but then I discovered this fantastic group of international bloggers and I couldn't resist jumping in to be a part of the third annual One World - One Heart event.


This amazing feat is the brainchild of Lisa Swifka - A Whimsical Bohemian. She invited bloggers from all over the world to unite and have a giant house-party type of event. It allows all particpating bloggers to get to know each other and strut their stuff while giving away great "doorprizes". Since I hadn't yet jumped on the Gypsy Caravan with my blog, I decided that I would make my very first post about it and offer a giveaway of my own! The community of bloggers involved vary in their experience and blogging level and are a very welcoming group. I have already met some amazing and supportive people through this fabulous event. Several of them encouraged me to quit procrastinating and just do it! BLOG


I don't have any photos up yet, but I will start my giveaway with some of my heavenly smelling Lavender & Chamomile bath salts. I will add goodies as I go and have a nice surprise box for the lucky winner! Hopefully I will get some photos up in the next few days as well.

All are welcome to enter. I just ask that you be sure that I have a way of contacting you either via email or through your blog if your name is the one drawn from the old cowgirl hat! The deadline for my drawing is midnite on February 11th. I will announce my winner on February 12th! If the winner doesn't respond within 48 hours, I will choose a runner-up. (Please note that the comments are on moderated status so when you comment, it won't post immediately. I try to get them up there as fast I can so bear with me! I'm still learning the ropes on this blogging business. Thanks for your patience.)

If you click on the pretty logo at the top of the post, it will take you to the main site for the event. From there you can visit all of the other great participants and learn more about the lovely lady who came up with this wonderful way to unite the blogging community. If you are a blogger, you can also find out more information about joining in on the fun!
