One World One Heart Giveaway

COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED - WINNERS WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY!! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.



I discovered the One World One Heart Giveaway thanks to a fellow EtsyNJ member and decided it would be fun to participate. Its a way for bloggers around the world to connect and to possibly win some cool stuff along the way.

I am offering a sampler pack of my reuseable cotton crocheted cloths - it will include one washcloth, one dishcloth and two make-up removal pads. These are a great way to reduce the use of paper towels, sponges and cotton balls - saving you money and eliminating waste. Depending on the number of entries, I may give away two or three sampler sets.

The images below are not the actual items you'll receive (because I haven't made them yet) but they are fairly close to what you will get.


All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this blog post and give me some way to contact you if you win (either your blog address, your email address, your website, Etsy shop, something). The winner (or winners) will be announced on Thursday, February 12 and will be contacted directly.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the other participants here - One Worls One Heart 2009 .
