And the winner is....

The winner of my 100th post giveaway is Comment 18! Connie at Living Beautifully. Thank you all for visiting my blog! I hope you will come back often!

100th Post Giveaway! -Comment by Friday, April 23rd

Let me first start out by saying that I just love blogging. I started reading blogs in 2007 and it wasn't until this year that I decided to start my own. It was one of my new years resolutions, one that I can actually say I've kept! I really enjoy the inspiration that I get while reading other blogs and how comments left on my blog make me smile.

So here I am, posting my 100th post... along with a giveaway!

Because I am most inspired by Do-It-Yourself projects, and the women behind them. I decided to give away these feminine floral tools as well as a painted vintage looking wooden box (for lack of a better description).

For a chance to win my giveaway, which is a 'thank you' for stopping by my blog, just leave a comment on this post. If you want a second chance to win leave a second comment letting me know that you are a follower of my blog! I will use a random comment picker to select a winner, good luck! And THANK YOU for stopping by my blog!

A wonderful gift from Dublin, Ireland!- Thanks Sonja!

I got a great box full of goodies from Sonja at http://craft-werk.blogspot.com/

She posted a giveaway for her 100th post (which gave me an idea to do the same, 27 posts to go!). Everything she sent is just wonderful and was very nicely packaged. I wore the beautiful flower pin she made the very next day to work and had a bunch of compliments on it.

THANK YOU SONJA! And happy blogging!

Great gifts have arrived!

I have been receiving some wonderful gifts from around the globe, thanks to One World One Heart! If you want to know more, go to my original post, http://creativeinkansas.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-won-i-won.html

I won! I won!

I am just so excited!

I didn’t think I would win anything when I entered a ton of the giveaways through One World One Heart, but I did! If you don't know what this was, you missed out. Lisa Swifka over at A Whimsical Bohemian (http://awhimsicalbohemian.typepad.com/) created this blogger event four years ago and the concept is magnificent. Over 1,000 blogs participated this year from a total of 40 different countries. How neat is that?! Each one of the blogs gave something away, which encouraged fellow bloggers to get out there and visit other blogs, that they may not have found otherwise. I went to many of these blogs and was inspired by all of the creative people around the world.

And here are the 3 prizes I was fortunate enough to win:

1.

Watercolour Collage with Mandarin Ducks by Annette Tait in Scotland

"Mijn cadeau is een jaar lang elke maand een ansichtkaart van de plek waar ik op de 3e zaterdag van de maand ben. En dan vertel ik natuurlijk ook wat ik daar doe en hoe ik daar kwam. Juist die dingen die je in mijn blog niet zult lezen.
Bloggen is fantastisch natuurlijk, maar er gaat niets boven een gezellige groet via de snail-mail..."

If you couldn't read that it's because it's in dutch (I told you this is fun!) Translated in english it stays...

"My present is that I will sent the winner a picture-postvard every 3th saturday of the month for a whole year. On which I will tell what I'm doing and how I got there. Things you won't read on my blog. To blog is great, but in my opinion nothing beats a picture-postcard sent by snail-mail...."

SO... I will be receiving a postcard from Holland each month over the next year. Something to look forward to! Here is the blog address of the artist, Karin that is going to be sending them... http://beeldenvankarin.blogspot.com/
