One World/One Heart Valentine's Giveaway

The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.
This event is hosted by Lisa Oceandreamer
You may see other blogs that are participating in this international event at:
http://oneworldevent.blogspot.com/
A great big thanks to Lisa for coordinating this event across "blogland"
------------------------------
NOW FOR MY GIVE AWAY!!!
----------------
I'm a wee bit late on joining the "Love train" but here is my contribution:

A copy of the book:"You Can Do It! The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown Up Girls" by:Lauren Grandcolas------------------Leave a comment and a link to an ACTIVE blog to participate.

It's as easy as that.

Thanks and good Luck!

Drawing to be held on Valentine's Day.

Announcement here on the 15th.

I will contact you through the blog address you leave for me if you are a winner.

--------------------------and while you are here..why don't you take a jaunt over to our online magazine "SMALL TOWN LIVING" at:www.stliving.net
