ATTENTION: The rules of OWOH say it is to be open until 12 midnight 2/17 PST...I have noticed WAAAY too many have closed up shop early. I will be following the rules, so you have until 12PST or 3am EST to post comments. I think it was really rude of so many to go against the rules.
NOTE: please scroll down for newer posts including my 1rst blogoversary post (Monday) and giveaways.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! I am speaking of course of the WORLDWIDE BLOG HOP, with HUNDREDS of stops and new friends to meet!
I want to learn about who you are and what you like, the best way to do that is to share a bit about me, which of course will spur conversation. I think the best way to do that is to give you a peek into my life via some past blog posts, actually some pictures and captions from past blog posts.
When awarded the Kreativ blogger award these are 2 of the 7 things I offered up about myself
I was an owner/operator of a tree and firewood service company with my husband (we started it before we were married) for 5 years. We worked side by side, and he always said I was his best assistant (as sometimes he'd have a friend fill in for me) 9 months pregnant with our son, I was still his "rope man" to pull and keep slack on trees as he cut them down. I have my own chainsaw. (however now with the disabilities I do not cut wood any more...I can still use the log splitter though)

You can peruse my blog to see some of my art, and/or see the slide show at the bottom if you choose to. I am a scrapbooker, stamper, and paper artist, as well as altered and mixed media Artist.
Did I tell you, that last year's OWOH event is what finally made me decide to have a blog? I had been hemming and hawing for a while. I've never regretted it for a second and I have made many wonderful friends, and kindred spirits! My 1 year blogoversary is 2/5.(see my blogoversary post for many more giveaways-most from etsy shoppe owners or companies) I have had many wonderful milestones during this year, and am actually amazed that people are interested in what I have to say, or to make and share. For me that is what is keeping me afloat in this world, as I am disabled and 80% of the time housebound. The world became smaller in the past year, I've met many guys and gals that have disabilities, and many with amazing Abilities! I learned a lot also, which at my age is ALWAYS a grand thing! Last year's LOGO, the theme was magic carpet ride.
I am offering up some lovely giveaways to say Thank you for visiting me, I hope you'll come back and see me again, one can never have too many friends. :)
GIVEAWAYS:I am drawing AT LEAST 2 winners, an American winner and a winner from any other country.
For my international winner I have for you A $20 Gift certificate to one of my favorite Jewelry shops;
MOLLY THE PIRATE- A BIT O' SHINE
CHECK this OUT! for every 50 entries I will add another giveaway (for either National or International-Capping out at 200 comments...I have another smaller card kit, and am planning a couple of my altered art pieces)
WE HAVE PASSED the 50 comment mark, so here is the first add-on prize which can go to anyone, anywhere.

When awarded the Kreativ blogger award these are 2 of the 7 things I offered up about myself

I have my own chainsaw. (however now with the disabilities I do not cut wood any more...I can still use the log splitter though)
When I was a young teenager (13-16) I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Horror Comic books, looking back now, I do not know why.
I rec'd the sweet blogger and I needed to pass it on to 6 people, and say why:
I am picking 6 people, who are uplifting, in my corner (so to speak) can sympathize or empathize with my current Life's circumstances, or simply post things that make me smile (regularly). #1 Jules at Moon Cat Farms...beautiful photos and lovely quotes
#2 Nicole at Beadwright... she understands pain, and fatigue, and is always a ray of sunshine
#3 Angelique at Sliekje digi stamps... she always has such adorable drawing for everyone and anyone. I love her style. and she makes me smile!
#4 Alison at Free Digital Stamps... for always giving us the links to the "goods" even when she or her children are ill!
#5 BrendaLea at Purple Lady's Life and Art... did 29 days of giving, and actually followed through on it. I was on someone else's blog for this and they kept quitting and restarting etc...I think they only got to about day 11, and the stuff has not been sent to those winners. I have basically given up on expecting my win to arrive. Anyway BrendaLea is a awesomely sweet lady!
#6 Jacque of Jacque's Joie de Vivre... for dealing with a major disease with grace and poise, and thinking of everyone else but herself!
6/6/10-
we had a house fire last night, started in my newly renovated son's room from a floor fan. Due to quick action on mine and my husband's part, by closing the door, and calling 911 immediately upon opening the door and seeing the thick smoke, it remained contained to the one room. AND no one was injured!...and the following "Dear so and So...in case you want to read it: http://piecesoffatesusan.blogspot.com/2010/06/dear-so-and-so.html
On 6/22/10 I turned NIFTY FIFTY, on 6/25 it was 5 question Friday. Here are the Q&A for that time in my life:
1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument?
not really, not any longer...perhaps the recorder ...I wish I knew how to play the violin, I love violin and cello music!
2. What is your pet peeve while driving?
other drivers using their cell phones...how ever did we survive without them, ugh!
3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services?
HOUSEKEEPER hands down, I was supposed to get one after I started working full time in my field, but there was still rooms under construction and rooms that were like storage, and I had 2 kids moving out then moving back in etc...so it never happened. I HATE, HATE, HATE housework! Now that I am disabled there is only so much I can do anyway...we need a slightly smaller house, and a housekeeper!
4. Is there a song that you hear that will take you back to the moment, like a junior high or high school dance?
"I Want to Know What Love is" by Foreigner always makes me think of the early days of my hubby and I. Other Foreigner, Boston, and Aerosmith songs take me back to some HS memories of a group I hung out with for a while and the fun we had the summer of my junior year!
5. What song best represents your life right now?
"Burning down the House" by Talking Heads

My 9/11/10 post: http://piecesoffatesusan.blogspot.com/2010/09/september-11-2010-9112001.html I participate in Alphabe-Thursday (Jenny Matlock) This was my post for "B" this past October...my philosophy:
My Thoughts on how to BE!
* always B true to yourself, your principles, your values, your feelings
* let sleeping dogs B
This is my son's dog Pico (who I think is now ours)
* leave the past where it B man!
* NEVER B sorry for Being Honest!
* Try to always B kind
* B a courteous driver
* let your inner child out occasionally to B FREE!
* B there for your Parents, they are the reason you B in existence!
* B observant, you never know, what you see might be helpful to someone else
* B able to laugh at yourself
* B in tune with your body...if it wants to vegg-out, sleep, eat or dance-- let it
* B patient with your spouse's shortcomings, we all have them
* B a PARENT to your children, they have others to B their friends
* B aware of the friends your children have, the music they B listening to, their likes and dislikes(this will help you see when something B out of sync with them)
* B good to our planet, it B the only one we have...no cigarettes out the car window--they are messy and cause forest fires, pick up your own litter, if you see litter and you are near a trash can pick that up, B responsible and RECYCLE and COMPOST (even if you do not garden...somebody you know might, and they would appreciate your mulch :) )
* do NOT B cruel to animals
* do NOT B afraid to ask questions when you B at the doctor's...it is your Body, no question is stupid!
* B protective and nurturing to your Brain, it needs stimulation, read Books, challenge yourself
* B the friend, you'd like to have B yours
* B open-minded
upon being given another award or 2 just recently...I offered up 7 more things about me- here's 2 of those tidbits:
My middle name is Elaine...and...I type with 2-4 fingers, still looking at the keys even though I took typing in HS and "keyboarding" in college. I can type the correct way, but it is sloooowww. I am pretty darn fast with my own method. Here is a poem of mine: http://piecesoffatesusan.blogspot.com/2011/01/alphabe-thursdaya-poem-by-me.html

Birds of a feather = friends...these are NOT the giveaway, see below
GIVEAWAYS:
For my international winner I have for you A $20 Gift certificate to one of my favorite Jewelry shops;
MOLLY THE PIRATE- A BIT O' SHINE
For an American winner I have a Large Card making kit I am making myself. here are just a few pictures.
UPDATE IS NOW BELOW.
SHOWN: A pkg. of 25 card bases and envelopes in Ivory, 10 bright card bases and white envelopes(I might add another 5- 15 to this) A pkg. of making Memories rub-on sentiments, a pretty post-it note pad (for making notes for yourself about new techniques etc) approx 10 double sided pretty card stock pieces, a few self adhesive printed card stock pieces, some single sided printed papers.
close ups
as promised here is the photo of the other goodies that are part of the grand prize--Card making kit:
a package of Home made Card candy, container of mixed buttons, container of mixed Prima flowers, circle and square slide mounts, pre-packaged chipboard buttons in various shapes and shades of red and orange, lots of Punchinella, 13+ yards of fiber, 15 1/2-yard size pieces of ribbon, and at least 60 stamped images and/or sentiments, some stamped by me, many not.
WE HAVE PASSED the 50 comment mark, so here is the first add-on prize which can go to anyone, anywhere.
2 ACEOs-"Old Friends" and "Question Secrets"...some beads used and a metal ribbon slide I think it actually used to be a piece of jewelry, specialty paper, vellum, collage images, and words. These will come wrapped in a lovely bundle of Ephemera.
AS promised we have gone past 100 comments so it is time to add on something else. This time I am adding another card kit, it is basically the same as the first picture, minus the little making memories tiny blossoms, and the designer papers are different. then jump to the embellishment picture and you get the buttons and the flowers, a little less ribbon, a little more fibers, less images and sentiments, less punchinella, no card candy, no slide mounts, and not one of those chip board button packs. THIS CARD KIT will go to anyone anywhere. NOTE: the flowers and buttons will be in baggies not containers to keep my shipping costs down.
WOWZA, here we go again we are at 150 comments, so here is yet another prize that will go to anyone anywhere:
3 Italian tumbled stone tiles that I hand stamped with Timber Brown Staz-on ink, spray sealed and made into magnets. Each tile is 1 and 7/8" square and 3/8" thick. They are in a sea shell theme and go together in the set of 3.
**NOTE: one more prize will be added as long as we reach 200 or more comments.

Oh my! Why did I start blogging is a VERY long story.
The short version is: I moved to England and created a blog to be less isolated and share a bit of my creativity with kindred spirits.
Hello!!
I have never heard of OWOH or some other things I found on blogs this morning, but I am SO excited to know about them now. :) This is so awesome... Well, I have a blog.. 3 blogs on blogger, to be exact.. I update two of them regularly. My email is the.ahmazindg AT gmail DOT com
and... I started my first blog on here for a school assignment. Prior to that I had other blogs and I added more blogs onto Blogger because I enjoy typing out my thoughts, feelings, and anything that comes to mind on a daily basis. I get rather lonely and having a blog really helps me out, because I can reach out to other people by just typing on a keyboard. I also love reading the blogs of other people for some warm fuzzy feelings, inspiration, and to know I'm not alone. What a groovy contest... thank you for letting me know about this! :)

My blog started as an update log to my website, but slowly it took over my website :) Love your give away and would love to enter! I am also participating in OWOH.
Greetings from Israel, Elsina
How nice to meet your whole family here, and they all look like I´d love to meet them! I know what you mean with having a blog because of OWOH - I´ve had so much fun with it in the last years! And my world has also become much smaller since I started blogging five years ago.
Well, I´ve visited that jewelry shop, and I´d love to win your gift certificate, so please enter my name to your drawing. Greetings from Germany, Marion
I always love stopping by to hear more about your family and esp. seeing your furbabies. This post made me smile, Susan :) Very, very nice giveaways, might I add!

I'm OWOH#502
Your blog and family are lovely,Susan :)
I do not remember why I started my blog. I do like to use it to share art with the world (mine, and that of others whom I admire). OWOH is my very favorite blog event, and I am sad to see it go. I am happy that the list stays up all year so I can revisit the wonderful bloggers who make OWOH so special.
Thank you for participating in OWOH 2011. Pop by my blog, #51, if you get a chance.
hugs from ON, Canada

Sounds like your family is quite busy and very interesting.
BTW, I believe the OTOW rules say everything has to be shipped everywhere; at least, that's what Lisa told me. I had two prizes, one continental USA and the other international. Lisa said, "nope, it all has to be international." And, if you didn't want to know...sorry.
You've got lovely gift aways; winners will be very happy!
Lively the OWOH!! Because so I can discover the other blogs very beautiful to see as yours for example..
My blog is:

Hi Susan, I've been a follower for a bit :) I started blogging to keep some sort of record of what I was creating, and I was determined one of the things I created would be a blog.
Happy OWOH!

wonderful paper goodies, please throw my name in! I started blogging to follow some of my favorite artists on ebay, then etsy, then artfire, etc!:) Wish I was better about posting, but I read all the ones I follow daily, plus some! rchelle dot hotmail dot com :) R'Chelle
hello Susan,just popped over to visit so pleased I did to be part of your blog hoptake care love Dorothy you have been kind enough to visit me before my blog is
http://dorothypatricia.blogspot.com/
Thanks Susan for spending so much time trying to get into my blog! I hope I have it fixed now and no more problems for anyone! I really appreciate the message you sent!
You blog is absolutely fantastic! Your family is awesome and you are very involved in so many sites. You are very good in your art.
I do type like you with a few fingers and I also watch the keys too. I really cannot type worth a flip!
I got involved blogging when a group of friends on ebay got together to get away from the message group boards there. we all started blogging and getting to know each other better than just signing into ebay everyday.
Some have gone on to facebook too and so I have two facebook accounts which is difficult with both keeping up.
I am lots of desire to learn more crafting and I am getting more diligent with it. I am trying to clean out and downsize as we are older too and I envy your acrage and farmhouse.
At least that way, I would not be so crowded in our garden home.
I also am disabled some with a neuropathy that keeps me off my feet and pelvis so iy is hard to sit still . I move around a lot adn RX to help. Even a spinal stimulator!
MY animals are part of our family also like yours.
I will catch you more later on, Smiles, Cyndi

Ooops...I posted to the wrong blog entry. I'm down in the TOO EARLY to post post! My booboo. I'm still thinking coffee...you??
Hi Susan :P
Yay a fellow waffler ;)
Lovely to read about you and I did go and read your Dear So and So too. I love your honesty :) I love your B list too - I agree wholeheartedly! My pet peeve with drivers though is indicators. Gaaaaargh! USE THEM or USE THEM CORRECTLY! Or lane straddlers - don't get me started.
So - I am located in the UK and as you have so very nicely visited my OWOH already you know I'm participating ;)
I started my blog coming up 2 years ago... I don't think I have a hard and fast reason why I started. I noticed some other peoples and I liked the idea of posting pictures of what I'd made - I was just starting to get more confident in my stuff. My PC had been playing up for a while (I finally replaced my tower this Christmas) and I thought it a good way as a kind of back up of pictures. I'm also really into comps and noticed there was quite a few that required you to have a blog so that was a factor as well.
Honestly though it's opened so many doors. I have a back problem and am not that active or social. My social life does mostly revolve around being online and I've met so many wonderful friends through it :)
*Eek* - epic comment but must answer your questions quickly to me :P
Alice was in a recently released DVD vampire movie called Suck. It's brilliant, funny... I love it.
Sookie Stackhouse - yes I agree totally and have read them all bar the last two. Hope to get them soon.
I am just starting to feel a little more human today - thank you so much for asking :)
Oh and by the way - I love nosy people *g*

http://nakedheartart.blogspot.com
Hi Susan It was a delight to meet your family! I started blogging because I enjoyed finding people with similar interest. Once I started I never looked back. Art is my passion. I love your giveaway. wildflowerhouse at hotmail dot com
I was a blog lurker for almost two years before I had my own blog( I have written my blog for over two years now) Often I would get a response like where is your blog- or you should have a blog. Around the same time, my husband started a hockey blog and encouraged me to start a quilt blog so I did. It is not as hard as I thought it would be. I have enjoyed making friends around the globe that love creating things with their hands. I write about my life and quilting.
I have enjoyed my blogging journey and continue to do so..
Happy OWOH- I hope you are visited by many new bloggers who become friends on your journey.
You can find my blog here:

Been having a nice visit. I left a comment on another post also.
I'm so glad you have kept the blog going after last years OWOH. You have done an amazing job with it.
I'm with you about the housekeeper hahhaa. I have to get over my guilt thing whereas I always feel like I should be washing/cooking/scrubbing/tending to something other than my art. Thank goodness Larry never says a word, or there would be trouble in paradise.
Hey, I love your nifty door stuff, but I am hearting those birds you are teasing me with on this post.
Got any feathers you want to swap with? I have paper, and embellishments and beads and buttons and bows...???
We can talk after this OWOH thingy is put to bed.
Hang in there and take care,
Diane
I enjoyed reading your "intro". Thanks for sharing!
I would love to win the card-making kit. I am an avid card maker. You might say I'm addicted, LOL.
In answer to your question, I also began seriously blogging because of OWOH last year! I had posted a few times prior to OWOH, but I was not very serious about it until after OWOH.
Please stop by my giveaway (#419).

Hi Susan,
Been a long time since I have chatted with you, or stopped by. I haven't been feeling too well for quite some time and now have over 7,000 emails that there is no way I can sort through. I haven't been on-line much at all and then one day I did and guess what I see.... OWOH! I knew I had to try and travel my way around to see old friends and maybe make some new ones too. But I haven't forgotten about you. Don't give up on me. I am here just not been real active as of late. And as always you are so generous with your wonderful gifts you are giving away.
Hugs,

Susan! I'm glad to see you're OWOHing! We live in Missouri, in a rural area south of Kansas City. I started my blog after a friend had moved, and started a private blog for several of us to share our arty stuff and keep in touch with each other.
Stop by and say hi if you get a chance, or if you haven't already--I haven't started going through OWoH comments yet!

Now I know alot more about you!
I started to blog when I moved to the countryside from a hectic life in Stockholm. I needed a hobby and thought that maybe someone wants to trade cards with me. I wanted to learn how to make cards and I found info abt ATC´s online. WOW, it was a new world for me! Scrapbboking too. Now I am addicted to all this and I love it! :)
Come and visit my giveaway too if you didn´t do it already! Thank you.
Warm regards

Hi Susan, greetings from Texas! I love those charming birds - very cool, I'll have to make one for my daughter. Isn't it funny how birds pop up in so many of our art pieces? I saw a hilarious video about that recently...
I started my blog as a way to document my artwork and the techniques I learn for myself, especially as so many of my creations end up as gifts for others.

Hi Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I will add you to my draw! I am living with MS so I completely can appreciate why you started your blog. I started so that I could meet people in other places that I might never get a chance to visit. I function really well most days but not so much on others.
I am wishing you the very best!
