One World, One Heart




"Let's get together, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

O.K.! A little late, but I'm in!!!
If you have found me at the end of the 1,000 people that entered the ONE WORLD ONE HEART postings, 
congratulations!!!!
I'm honored that you have persisted this far.
This is the first time I've participated in this wonderful adventure and, like many, sad it will be the last one. To read more about One World One Heart, please visit Lisa's blog here.
To view a list of participants, click here.

My name is Lynn and I live in Southern California, in what we like to refer to as the I.E. (Inland Empire), as compared to the O.C. (Orange County.)
Do not get these two mixed up. The O.C. gets a little ruffled if you do, and I can't say that I blame them.
I have a wonderful husband and a marriage built on faith over the last 25 years, and two of the best daughters anyone could ask for.



Add to the mix one slightly neurotic dog, and you have a whole lot of fun!



We love to be with friends and I will never pass up an opportunity for Starbucks.
Or the beach.
Never, never will I pass up an opportunity for the beach.


I have always had an artistic bent and have spent most of my life trying to see where it fits into my days. The last several years I have been diligently (intentionally) finding time to put art into my days and have fallen in love with:

collage


altering mah jong tiles,


dominoes,


I love photography and someday will take a class to learn more about my camera!


Cooking.
The best.


And this year, learning to solder.


"Learning to"...two of the best words in the English language and two words that get me into more fun and trouble!

Two of my favorite posts are


and


Which I hope you enjoy.

Now for the most fun part- (besides meeting people all over the world)...
the give away!
Open to all active bloggers..... 

Please leave a comment on this post and a way to contact you, should you win.
I will pick a name by FEBRUARY 17 to win.....

This sweet soldered necklace!
(I confess, I almost offered up the neurotic dog as well, but I think shipping would be a bit of a problem.)


A sweet stamp of a bird and the littlest bit of an old hymnal, with just a bit of bling at the end soldered and put onto 16" drop necklace of ball chain.




Best of luck to all who enter and I look forward to meeting all of you!


Lynn

  2. Love your little gift, I'd call it "Consider the Sparrows" and be very glad to win and wear it.
    I'll take the dog too, if you are willing to trade for an incontinent cat on thyroid meds.
    Let me know. Believe me, shipping will not be a problem.

  5. Oh my gosh, Lynn, I love your soldering! I have always wanted to learn to do that! Is it hard to do? Great photos of you and your wonderful family!! And your pup is just too cute:)

  6. Hi Lynn!

    Soooo funny- I posted a blog a while back all about my first try at soldering. I had a pro helping me for my introduction, and decided to ask Santa to bring me all the goodies I need to continue on with this latest crafting adventure.

    Santa forgot. Now it's up to Cupid to deliver! *wink*

    If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll drop by both of my giveaways (at Twigs and Tulle and Kindergarten’s 3 R’s: I’m giving away a mini bunting and some pattern blocks) during this awesome blogging event! Happy OWOH!

  11. I bought supplies to try soldering, one attempt, ya, it's going to take alot of attempts to get any good. So in the mean time, I NEED this necklace!

    You'd miss that neurotic dog if you gave her away. I know I'd miss mine, well, maybe after a week!

    Thanks for the chance at the give away.

  43. Hi Lynn,
    I loved your favorite posts... I laughed out loud at your wet suit story then your jack-in-the box story brought tears to my eyes. As someone whose studio is filled with (totally not age appropriate) toys I really appreciated that story. I will definitely be back to read more (and see more of your beautiful creations, of course). Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into your life.

  66. Hello! I know exactly where the Inland Empire is! I used to live in Twin Peaks, right up the hill from there in the San Bernardino mountains near Lake Arrowhead. I looked out over San Berdo every day coming out of school as the bus took us out on Rim of the World Highway. I went to my first two years of college in Riverside (California Baptist College...now University but it was just college back then).

    Before then I lived on a boat in Long Beach... (my parents met scuba diving...and yeah, those wet suits are crazy hard to put on)...and now I'm in Texas (that's a long story).

    Nice to meet you! Love your blog...it's so pretty!

  71. Hi Lynn,
    You are a woman of the same heart. I am a beach lover myself, although it's been a while since I had my feet in the sand. We used to fly to Mexico for years, but after all this economic turmoil, I have kind of changed my thinking on what is necessary. I really enjoyed your blog, and keep telling myself I need to do more soldering. It is definitely a challenge for me. Beautiful blog, and thanks for dropping by. I would love to be in your drawing. Good luck to you as well. Take care, Nancy

    I do love soldered charm necklaces, it's an art I've never tried, but have purchased many of!!I'm a little intimidated by the soldering... which is odd, I'm usually a jump in with both feet then figure it out kinda girl!!

    Please throw my name in the hat for your great necklace, I'd love to add it to my collection of wearable art!!

  89. Dear Lynn~
    I am having such a wonderful time on my first OWOH trip and loved that I discovered your wonderful blog this morning! I was cracking up at your intro about the neurotic dog and wanting to give it away (we have some kooky characters in our family too! LOL). And the wet suit story sounded just like something I would do! ROTFLOL

    It's so nice to *meet* you and I would love to win your beautiful necklace. I like to solder charms too, but need to find more time to do it (if you discover a magical device that adds 5 hours to the day, would you please let me know?)

    Please stop by my blog when you have a moment and say "hi", k? I'm #347 on the list and giving away one of my lampwork charm beads.

    Happy blogging! *Ü*
