One World One Heart

Hi Everyone!  I want to tell you about a fun event that I am participating in called One World, One Heart.

Photo

It is a chance to get to know others in the blogging community from all over the WORLD!  Maybe I will find out that tantrums are the same no matter what language!  I have learned recently that the hair accessories in Thailand are actually figures of old fashioned women's hats.  They actually wear hats in their hair as clips, like I make.  So fun!  And so interesting!  Here is one I found listed from Thailand on ebay.  These are actually hair clips!

So anyway, as I get excited about finding out more about other countries and their cultures and even more people from my own country who love to blog, I am encouraqged to offer a giveaway for people who come by and see me. 

First of all, let me introduce myself.  My name is Candace.  I have 5 children (3 boys and 2 girls) and I make hair accessories of all kinds.  I started by using up ribbon after making my first daughter things for her hair and then it became a sort of obsession of sorts.  Now I love doing it as a hobby and a way to make a little money.  I would love to do better and improve my craft, but that takes time of which I have very little.  My husband just joined the National Guard as a Chaplain Candidate so we are entrenched in him taking online masters classes, raising our children and working full time for a church.

Okay, enought about me and onto the giveaway.  I will use random.com to choose a winner from all the comments to this post.  Just leave your comment below for a chance to win this:


This is a beautiful crocheted headband with a bright pink gerbera flower clip.  The clip is detachable for interchangeable flowers and to use the flower as a clip by itself.  I like the hawaiian look myself.




And here is an example of what the headband looks like in your hair or your daughter's hair!



So browse around my blog.  Become a follower is you find anything of interest or you or want to become friends!  I would love to have more followers and friends!  And leave a comment to enter the giveaway.  Be sure to leave your e-mail address or a way to let you know that you are a winner!  And you may even want to think about joining the fun!! Winners will be announced February 15th!

Looks like I may be the first... my grand daughter has a head full of red curly hair and always needs something to keep it out of her eyes. This would do the trick!
