Make New Friends........Welcoming February with new friend from OWOH!

Since it's less than two weeks until Valentine's Day, I thought I'd do a post featuring more One World One Heart artists who've created art for V'Day.  Keep in mind, the Valentine art is not necessarily what they're giving away, but I promise their giveaways are just as beautiful!
Hope this gets you in the mood......

Make New Friends, but KEEP THE OLD- Part 3- On the Carpet with friends.....

As it's a few days since I started One World- One Heart, I find myself almost at the end of all the blogs entered.  It has been an amazing journey for me, one with daily discoveries of artists and their blogs; people that I want to get to know better.  It feels like I've marked myself as a new follower on at least 10 blogs every day, sometimes more.  For me, this has been wonderful because of the oppurtunity to make new friends. 
And today, I want to take a moment to recognize "Old Friends" who I was thrilled to find riding the carpet this week too!

Make New Friends, But Keep the Old.......Lovely Blogs I've Encountered on The Magic Carpet- Part 1

So far, it's been a pretty wild ride at One World, One Heart!  My goal is to try to hit around a hundred blogs a day and today, the second morning, I'm hovering the ole' carpet around #171.  I'm pretty confident that I'll manage 29 more at some point today......I'm finding it almost impossible to drag myself away from the ticket list, lol!

For those of you who regularly follow me, you already know that I try to feature other artists on a regular basis.  Until the end of OWOH, I'm planning to highlight a handfull new (and old) favorite blogs/artists/creators that I've found along the journey.

So for Day Two of OWOH, here are some of the artists I encountered at the first part of the list between the numbers 1 and 171- I wish there were room to feature each one I've fallen under the spell of, but I'm trying to limit it to just a few each posting.....
