Well, I got to this party just in time. This, my pretties, is the 2nd annual One Heart One World event, a worldwide blogging giveaway from the creative well of one Lisa Oceandreamer who wanted a way to make the world a lot smaller by giving us a way to find each other and interact. Each participating blog is giving away at least one delightful goodie, so go, click, enter.

LifeIsTooShort.jpg

As for me, I have five copies of my book, Life Is Too Short To Be Ordinary, that I’d love to send five of you. (I am out of town, so I had to borrow this image from amazon - that’s why the “search inside” thingie.) If you would like a chance to win one, all you have to do is leave a comment to this particular entry by 4 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, 2/14. Tell me you want your name put in my hat, and be sure I have your email address so I can let you know when you win and get your mailing address. And just so you know, I’m happy to mail to you anywhere in the world.

Have fun as you travel around the world making new friends, and good luck!

    Sounds like a great prize. I love books. And I doubt anyone has ever considered me to be “ordinary” - although whether they meant it as a criticism or a compliment probably depends on the individual. I most definitely consider it a compliment regardless. I’m offering books as a prize on one of my blogs as well.

  9. KristiZ on February 12th, 2008 5:12 pm

    That sounds like an AWESOME book! Please enter my name - thank you!! :)

    Oh. My. Goodness. What an exciting night I had last night, replying to all the comments. I’ve had such fun bopping all around the internet to blogs I might never have found!

    KJ~Your blog is definitely not ordinary, and neither are you. What an amazing story about you and your husband. Renews my faith in people - the second part of your story, not the beginning.

    Claudia~Thanks for stopping by. And enjoy finishing off that patchwork quilt. Can’t wait to see it.

    Sherry~I didn’t see your blog before, but it sure does look good now. It is fun traveling around the world from the comfort of your own nook, seeing what others are doing, isn’t it? Glad you found your way here.
