With all my heart! An OWOH give away!

Welcome back to BOXWOOD COTTAGE in February dear blogging friends and readers !
I have not enough time for a long post right now, but I wanted to thank you all for your sweet comments on my new blog layout, so glad that you guys like it :)
I thought in time for Valentine' day I share with you a flickr collage with some of the hearts that I created over the last 5 years and hope that I can inspire you a bit:

 ´
 Don't they all go so well  with the One world one heart theme? Well I decided to jump on the magic carpet and participate in Lisa Swifka's "One world one heart event"  this year and do a sweet little give away for one lucky reader of my blog. It's a handmade soldered heart charm/pendant made by me like the ones that you can see in my mosaic above and a little surprise.
All you need to do is leave me a comment under this post (everybody is welcome) and I will anounce the lucky winner on
Monday February 15 th
Good luck!
xox, Carola

P.S.: Lisa has almost 1000 participants already wow, so don't miss out and check them out on her blogs side bar here:

Daniela ~Mayodan~ said...

Liebe Carola!
Ich liebe deine zauberhaften Charms und würde sehr gerne einen davon gewinnen. Obwohl große Chancen habe ich bei der Anzahl von Kommentaren wohl nicht ;-)

Dein neues Bloglayout gefällt mir übrigens sehr gut und auch der Header ist toll geworden. Riley ist ja soo ein süsser Kater. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass er gerne hinaus möchte. Meine Katzen sind zur Zeit auch drinnen, es ist einfach zu kalt, um das Kellerfenster den ganzen Tag offen zu lassen und es gefällt ihnen überhaupt nicht!

GLG, Daniela

Bani said...

That collage of crafted hearts is just delightful! I'd love a chance to win one like those. Thanks.
