One World One Heart


One World One Heart is a worldwide event for bloggers only.It is the brainchild of Lisa Swifka . It gives all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met from all over the world. In the past 4 years this event has grown to over 1,000 participants with lasting friendships (and even one love connection) formed along the way.  Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house allowing you to travel without ever leaving your home........going from blog to blog(in various countries) seeing the wonder each one has created and meeting all the fabulous people behind those blogs. As a bonus each blogger participant will offer up a "door prize or prizes"....just for dropping by, saying hello and seeing their world.  It's really that easy. 


I an  very late in joining the party. I got a new computer in late December to replace my broken one. My old computer had digital media ports so that I could just pop in my camera card and get my photos.My new computer does NOT have this function and uploading pics is now a project (especially since I misplaced  my camera cord.) This is my first time joining the festivities.

I am Silvia a fulltime mammographer who lives 30 miles south of Chicago with my husband, two teenage sons and 3 feline furbabies.
I enjoy creating home decor items



             
I enjoy paper crafting.
 I also enjoy gardening and photography
My "door prize" is this 6x6 altered canvas that I created
Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you'll visit again  :)

Hi Silvia,I'm 846 on the OWOH blog list- nice to meet you. I have the opposite problem- I have a card reader but the software won't allow the transfer. I have to look into new software I guess.

Your giveaway is beautiful. Thanks for a chance in the drawing. Please stop at my blog and enter mine when you have a moment.

You have lots of pretty projects on your blog. Will be back to read some more. So long.

Tumbleweed Trails said...

I'm so glad your were able to get your pics onto your new computer and join in on OWOH. I completely empathhize with you regarding your new computer. I am still trying to figure out how to do what I use to with my photos now that my "newest" computer has different programs and all. Trust me...my old computer software was much better and far easier to manipulate.

I love your blog and your creativity. The Mixed Media Canvas you made for your door prize is spectacular and so very perfect for this event. It's so detailed!

It's been so nice meeting you and visiting your blog. I look forward to your future posts.
