This post will remain at the top until Feb. 17
This is the 5th year that Lisa has hosted this One World One Heart project. As usual I'm late getting
on the bus, but at least I am on it for the 5th and final year, I think. For all the information please go to Lisa's post which explains all the details.
I live in Costa Mesa, CA about 50 miles south of Los Angeles, CA. I started my self-taught art in 1995, beginning with rubber stamps. I thought I would save so much money on greeting cards!! Ha! I don't want to tell you how much I've spent over the years for art supplies. I went from rubber stamps to acrylic painting, mixed media, collage and then to digital art. For the past year or so I've taken online classes in Photoshop from several superb teachers. I love the internet because I have been exposed to so many different people and have enjoyed following their blogs. When I found out about this project I signed up to meet even more people and see their blogs.
I will be looking forward to meeting all of you.
For my "door prizes" I plan to give away a print of the artwork below. Its one of my acrylic paintings which I digitally altered with the addition of various elements.
Also I will offer these three handmade mini book/zines.
Please leave a comment and take all the time you want visiting. I can't wait to meet you and visit your blog. The drawing will happen on February 17. So don't waste any time!

Hi Marilyn,
Greetings from a fellow blogger, crafter in England. I can relate to what you said about - saving money on cards but spending lots on crafting materials. There are so many beautiful supplies out there.. who can resist :)
Thank you for your generous give-away and I enjoyed my visit here.
Feel free if you have a moment to drop in on the other side of the ocean.

"Saving money" haha!
Give a rubber stamp to someone who isn't creative at all and, yes, he/she will probably save some money on greeting cards.
But give a rubber stamp to a creative mind and she/he's addicted. Immediately.
Sometimes people tell me I must save a lot of money by making my own jewelry! Hahaha!
LOVE your giveaways! Please count me in!
Happy OWOH!
Janna

Hi Marilyn, I was down your way in July. I fell in love with Roger's Gardens. A friend of mine got one of those wonderful jeweled trees for Christmas. I live north of you in Arroyo Grande. Are you going to the CREATE cps retreat in May. I'm pretty sure it's in Costa Mesa. I will be a vendor there. Have to get my act together. Come by by blog #845 Crimson Heart Studios. Thanks, Cindy

Hi from Colorado, love this OWOH meet and greet. That is so funny I started with stamps too and thought I would save so much money. LOL Come for a visit sometime. www.beckoningoflife.blogspot.com Leslie
Hi Marilyn! I am loving reading about your journey through art. So inspiring and makes me want to get up off my butt and go create something. Something I haven't done in a little while. Albeit, I'm still trying to read as many OWOH posts as I can, so my butt is welded to my computer chair.
I love "Day 4, calla lilies" you've created. I'm a plant nut. I just love it when people show the work in progress. You've done a great job!
It's great to meet you and thanks for stopping by and saying hi on my OWOH post. Your comment made me smile. I'd love to have a chance at winning one of your beautiful door prizes!
Happy Creating!

Ha, I had to laugh when you were telling about the money you were going to save making your own cards. That's exactly how I got started in this whole big art thing. The funny thing is I almost never make cards anymore...too many other things to do! Your digital enhanced print is stunning. I would LOVE to be the lucky winner.
