One World One Heart 2011


Last night was the official kickoff of One World One Heart 2011. I am excited to participate this year and want to thank Lisa Swifka for hosting this wonderful event. I'm anxious to blog hop all over the world the next couple of weeks, meeting other bloggers and peeking into their worlds. We are all alike in one way or another, and it's fun to uncover those similarities and learn from our differences.

Oh, silly me... introductions....

Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Dianna but my friends call me Di. I live in central Iowa, USA. Having worked in the corporate world my entire adult life, I decided a few years back it was time to nurture the other side of my brain/self. When I could make time in my schedule, I started dabbling in various creative areas, starting first with silk flowers & greeting cards and more recently playing around with mixed media, jewelry, essential oils, a wee bit of photography, etc. I've been having a blast! The biggest challenge has been finding time & energy while working a full time (plus) job. That issue is being resolved for me, as I'm one of 1,500 being laid off at our company. My last day will be 2/15/11, so while I've been busy & will continue to be busy finding a new job, I intend to find one that affords me more time to enjoy life & express myself through creative activities! One of these days I hope to land on one or two creative outlets that truly make my heart sing AND bring joy to others. My dream is to take that creative outlet and turn it into career in some way (hey, a girl's gotta have goals, right?). In the meantime, I want a job supporting someone else reaching their goal. When I'm not working, I'll continue learning, practicing & sharing various art & crafts.

The on-line creative community (bloggers, yahoo groups, etc.) has become an important part of my life, just like creating/crafting is now integral to who I am.

Anyhoooo, I encourage you to roam around my site. If you have a question, comment or suggestion about anything, please let me know.

Oh, and as a thank you for visiting my blog, if you are an active worldwide blogger & leave a comment on this OWOH post between 1/30/11 and 2/17/11 (with a way for me to contact you in the event you win), you name will be entered in a drawing. One lucky blogger will win this bookmark I made along with her/his choice of one of the following books (just three of my favorites, and don't worry, the winner will receive a new book and not my marked up, written in, tabbed version).



  • Life is a Verb by Patti Digh
  • I Can Do It by Louise L. Hay
  • The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

I'll draw the winning name on 02/17/11.

Believe,
Di

Your prize for OWOH is awesome -- thanks for offering such goodies. I just love bookmarks, and then you even offer the choice of one book. I have heard only good things about LIFE IS A VERB, so that would be my choice. :)

Happy creating,

Hi Di,
Sorry to hear about your job, but I do believe everything has a reason and difficult things like this usually lead to something good (like finding a job that give you more time for the things you love). Sometimes we need faith to make us take steps we otherwise would not take.
I wish you luck, health and wisdom while you find your way back to a new job.
By the way I love Louise L Hay, but the other books I am not familiar with.
Hugs, Sonja (#785)

Hi Di, It's great to meet you through your blog! Thanks for stopping by and saying hi on my OWOH post. I'd love to have a chance at winning your beautiful door prize! Is that copper? I love what you've done to it. And of course the books look wonderful, too.

Great luck to you in landing a fun, fulfilling job that allows more time for you to fulfill your own dreams and creative aspirations. But while you have it, enjoy your time off!

Happy Creating!
