A very special giveaway...One World, One Heart

It is a very special day here in the United States - Inauguration Day!
It is a day filled with incredible hope and many, many a heart is bursting with joy at the hope for the future that this day brings. We have inaugurated a new President, Barack Obama. I have spent the day watching this historic moment. In fact, "glued" to the TV would be more appropriate!!

In between all the events, I have been visiting blogs and I linked to SewingSouthpaw and learned of the One World, One Heart Giveaway. I read all the details and decided I wanted to participate. The concept for this giveaway comes from Lisa and if you go here you can read the message that she shares.

The purpose behind the giveaway is to meet and get to know fellow bloggers. I have so enjoyed meeting bloggers all around the country and the world and I would love to meet more! So, what will I offer for a Giveaway? Well, when I signed up, I knew what I would make but it wasn't finished. I promised a photo soon and here it is.......a special journal for keeping those thoughts that are near and dear to your heart. The drawing will be on February 12th at 6:00 p.m. CST.

Rules for the Giveaway and comments........

1. This Giveaway is open to all residents of the blogging world. I will ship anywhere.

2. You must have a blog to participate. In addition, if your e-mail is not included in your blog profile, you must include it in the comment that you post. I will delete comments immediately that do not have contact information.

3. When the winner is drawn, I will post the name on my blog and then e-mail the winner. You will have 48 hours to reply to claim your prize.

Please note.........
If you know that you will be away at the time of the drawing then send me an e-mail to let me know that. I am more than happy to accommodate this if I know it in advance. At the end of 48 hours, if I have not heard from you, another name will be drawn and all claims to the Giveaway for you will end.

In the photo above, you can see the Journal Cover that I made for an ordinary notebook. You can write to your heart's content and fill a notebook, then remove it and insert a new one! In addition, as you can see in the photos on the left, there are pockets on the inside of the journal.

On the inside of the front of the journal there is a larger pocket for envelopes, photos, etc. and a smaller one for business cards or notes.

On the inside of the back cover is one large pocket for important papers, letters, etc. There is a button closure to keep all your notes safe.

As I did with my "JOY" Christmas stocking, I made a journal to giveaway and one for me to keep. That's because I bought this fabric last summer at a nearby quilt shop and just loved it. I knew then it would become a journal cover or a totebag. I think I have enough left that one day I may make into a scrappy totebag!

So, start posting your comments, share those heartfelt memories or just leave your name and contact info.
