CLOSED
THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
WELCOME!
The super cool blogging event has been organized
by the the oh-so-talented Lisa of A Whimsical Bohemian
This is the 5th and final year of the event
My first time joining the journey
is a worldwide event for bloggers only
Think of it as a great big virtual open house party
where you get to meet other enlightened creatives
Now let me slap on the name tag and tell you a bit about myself
My name is Elena
born and raised in Midwest, USA
I left a professional career to begin a 'life quest' - or to reconnect with life
And boy have I ever!
I'm becoming an artist
Recreating my life as I go along
I ride a Harley next to my hubby
I have one son and two fur-kids (the pups)
I question everything, I see & learn more and more everyday
and delight in sharing it all
So before you leave on your travels
and just for stopping by
I'll draw the name of the winner for this little collage print
on February 17
just leave a comment with a way for me to reach you
and so I may visit your blogging home as well


Yay! I hope you have a sweet time with the great OWOH lovefest, Miss Elena !
ReplyDeleteLove the collage - so bright and hopeful like spring...

Hi Elena,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Australia. Great to meet you and visit your blog. I would love to be the lucky winner of your gorgeous collage, I really love the colour combination. Please come by #9 and say hello.
Hi Elena,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog. My Angel banner is an Atc I made. The Cemetery Angel is an image from Enchanted Merchantile. The wings I made from a rubber stamp. The back ground was also an image from another cd. They aren't available anymore but I know you can find similar pictures. So nice to meet you! I am going to take a look around.
Thanks so much for dropping by my blog and inviting me to visit you. I didn't make it to everyone but I think I really knew I wouldn't because I took my time and savored my visits. Your blog is lovely and I am your newest follower! Don't worry about having been late, my OWOH is still going on ...til 10pm EST so you are fine!
ReplyDeleteI will be back many more times...
