ONE World ONE HeART

I've had this post saved for a bit and wanted to wait until after Valentine's Day, so since it's the 15th...
I’ve been thinking about the whole Spring Fling idea – during this time I was reminded that it won’t be Spring everywhere. This is true, in the Southern Hemisphere they will be entering Autumn while we here in the Northern Hemisphere enter Spring. So I asked myself what my goal was - is it the season or the reason I wanted to do this? Well of course the answer came immediately….it is the reason!

I feel we are all ONE world and in this wonderful blogging community we are all ONE heart beating to each others fabulousness. The Valentine Sharing of HeARTs proved that in a huge way. Therefore……

I invite all bloggers to participate in the

If you have a blog and would like to participate in this giveaway it’s basically the same as the last one, but if you didn’t participate the first time it’s really very simple:

Sometime in the first couple weeks of March post “IT” on your blog for all to see, desire and enter your drawing.

Whatever “IT” is depends entirely upon you, it can be anything you want and as many things as you want. There are no rules.

How you go about choosing the winner(s) is entirely up to you. Again, no rules.
(Remember this is open globally so if you have concerns about shipping International keep that in mind).

After your giveaway is posted on your blog in March give me the link and I will start a list here – this way anyone can copy and add the list to their blog (if so desired) or use the list here to find people participating.

=========THEN========

On March 21st (or as close as possible, if you can't do it that exact date it's ok) each of us will announce the winner(s) of our giveaways. I am asking we do this to make it a day or so of celebrating all at the same time.

The celebration will not only be for the winners - it will also be a celebration that our worlds have come even closer together, our friendships expanded and our hearts beating as one.

You truly do get back more than you give!

Tell your blogger friends (link to this post), share your heART and join in the fun! I hope to see YOUR name on the list in March!

Spread the love, spread the giving, spread the word!

My sincere hope is that we continue this periodically throughout the year –
maybe YOU will be the next to start one.

I will post a reminder in the coming weeks.

Feel free to comment….this is for ALL of us therefore if you have suggestions, questions, issues with the date, a general comment…..please know I am open to any and all. Remember, I am merely getting the ball started, it can’t roll without YOU.

XOXOXO

I definitely want in on this! I read your first post about it, and went ahead and made something with the "Spring Fling" in mind. So my prize will be "spring-y", but I don't think anyone will really mind, do you?
I was blessed to win several things last time around, so I want to join in on the GIVING this time!! Thanks so much for hosting this! :)

Absolutely count me in. I found two bracelets that I'm giving away and my blogspot address is: http://beadfluff.blogspot.com . Here is hoping some more people are going to come in yet. This is such a cool idea. By the way, I count each bracelet as one giveaway so thought I would do one on the 21 and the 22.

I have a gift for my readers, although the drawing will be on 3/26 because I'll be out of town until then. I just found your blog so this is rather short notice on my part, but if *Bailiwick Designs* can still make it onto your list, that would be great!
