So, here's something you may or may not know about me: I love to travel. Now, of course I mean that literally. It's always fun & exciting to see new places, experience other cultures & maybe even meet a new friend along the way. But, I mean this in other ways as well. You can travel through pictures & words, through books & music. You can travel through art. These are all ways of seeing the world through the experiences & thoughts of others. Blogs are a great way to do this & this brings me to a "Magic Carpet Ride." A groups of bloggers tied together through their experiences & the possibility of winning exciting new things from other lands, real & imaginary. My giveaway contribution is the bracelet pictured here, that I like to call "One World." Like the world we live in, it's comprised of disparate elements, some vintage or old & some shiny & new, that come together to form a single whole.
Giveaway "Rules" (there are only a few):
This contest is open to bloggers, anywhere in the world
Leave a comment for an entry
Contest ends 2/14/10
The winner will be announced 2/15/10
Giveaway request (not mandatory, just fun & in the spirit of the contest):
