One World One Heart 2011

Lisa Swifka, who has an amazing blog called "A Whimsical Bohemian”, introduced a wonderful journey to the blog world. Each year she would take the participants to places that most of us would never have known existed. I discovered this fabulous event last year and am so happy that I did, especially since this will be the last year. During my experience with One World One Heart, I met some amazing people, read some great blogs and made a few friends that I keep in touch with. Lisa’s main reason for starting this was a way for us in Blogland to learn about one another.  

So with that being said let me tell you a bit about me… I grew up in Texas and since have lived in California and currently living in Las Vegas, NV.  I’m part owner of Ametista Dark Home Décor.  My business partner, Carrie and I have been working together for many years now.  We started our journey making fine jewelry, but our passion turned to polymer clay.  I have many interests and love to use my imagination every chance I get…even if at times it’s a little dark. We  work with recycled materials, polymer clay, paint etc… One of my biggest passions is photography.  Most of the type of photography I enjoy is photographing flowers, scenery, animals and the ocean, anything nature has to show me. 

Well enough about that…you probably want to see what’s up for grabs for this year’s One World One Heart Blog event giveaway, with further ado we present to you…


  A hand sculpted polymer clay heart 

with loving wings wrapping around it


and strung on black leather.

Wow...with so much love showing during this fabulous event, I've decided to add another item to win.  This one of a kind handmade Citrine and Pearl Tri Strand necklace, for more information and more pictures click on the link. 


Now for the rules…I know…we hate rules, but we’ve been told we had to have them, so here they are…

1.  Although you do not have to participate in the event, you MUST have a blog to be eligible for the giveaway.  

2. Our giveaway is our way of saying “thank you” for stopping by.  All you need to do is leave a comment and an email or the best way to contact you in the event you’re our winner!

3. Comments will close at 5 pm on February 17, 2011.

4. We will notify the winner via e-mail. 

5. Since we must mail our gift out within three days after the event, once you have been notified, you will have 48 hours to respond with your mailing address.  Otherwise, we will choose another.

We ship worldwide…so come on all you overseas bloggers, come in check us out while you’re sipping on your coffee, tea, wine, margarita…LOL and enjoy yourself.  So let's get on each others wings and fly around the world!

Be sure to check out other participants in this great event by clicking here.  If you're interested in participating in this event click on the OWOH picture below. 




Happy Blogging and Visiting!

I love your pearl necklace! And your heart pendant reminds me of a tat a girl friend has on my back in honor of her son who tragically past away. So if I win I would give the heart to this dear lady.

Georgina said...

I love your heart. I too love polymer clay and have made some mixed media pieces of jewelry...so much fun...in fact, sometimes I think I'm having too much fun!!

I'll be heading out to Vegas in a couple of weeks...even mentioned it in my blog, but having to go there for something that is of no interest to me. Perhaps you could recommend other places of interest. We won't be staying on the strip, thankfully, but at the Rio Resort. Any great places you could recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Again, love your offerings on this event, so please throw my name into the hat.
