This is an addition to my original post: I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to visit my blog and to leave such kind comments! The chance to have your name entered into the draw for Elspeth will ends at 11:59PM MST Sunday, February 14th. That's about 6 hours from right now. I will announce the winner on Monday, February 15th and contact that lucky person. Good luck to everyone and again, I am so honoured you haved visited me!
This is the first time I have participated in this fascinating event and I'm pretty excited by it. Think of it as a neighbourhood "house party" where you get to peek inside everyone's homes and have a chance to win a door prize at each home you visit. This event was created by Lisa and in 2009 it included 911 participants from 28 countries! That's 911 homes/blogs to visit, folks, so you'd better get your jammies on and climb onto the Magic Carpet! I've decided to create a (somewhat mod) princess/chick wearing her very best feathery ballgown. This lady is 16 inches tall and she told me she would like to go to a home in a country where there are lots of tall, dark and handsome strangers. (ahem) You can learn all about the 2010 OWOH Magic Carpet Ride here. To be eligible to win this princess/chick (aka Elspeth), please leave a comment and a link back to your blog at the end of this post. The event ends on February 15, 2010 and the winner will be chosen by random number generator and contacted via the link to their blog. Elspeth and I are looking forward to visiting your home, we hope you enjoy ours! And hang on, this is going to be one fantastical ride!
