I just received a lovely message from Deedra in Canada about the blog-post she made about my painting she won in the latest One World One Heart bloghop.
I posted it the day before the EarthQuake and hoped that it would have already left te country and not ended up in piles of rubble somewhere on the way out. Lucky for us both, New Zealand Post is wonderful and fast and the painting must have been flying safely in the sky when our grounds started to shake. The beautiful coincidence that this painting as well as myself escaped these tremors unharmed. I am really glad my "Treasure Earth" has found it's destination safely and I am really happy that Deedra likes it so.
Please hop over to her blog by clicking on my pic here and pay her a visit as well, she makes the most wonderful dolls amongst many other things.
This was my first One World One Heart
blog-hopping event ever
I really enjoyed it, allthough there was not enough time for me to visit all the participating blogs,
I hope I will be able to still visit more off the list
and I already signed up for
the event Lisa is planning next year ! 
Exciting !!!!
Another exciting thing was picking the winner....
I used the random number generator,
but I have seen some really original ideas and ways to pick numbers,
so I will do one of those next time.
This was quick allright, but didn't feel as creative to me.
Anyhow.......(please add drumrolls here).............:

Hi I am Joyce, welcome to my Art Blog
I am not much of a talker, I am a dreamer
I believe in fairies and meadows full of songs
and flowers and rays of sunlight.
I was born in the Netherlands and moved to New Zealand about 16 years ago. This is where I had my kiddos, a boy and a girl.
I am a Mum to 2 school aged kids, life partner to a great guy who lets me play with my art supplies and a visual artist, I love mixed media in many forms. I enjoy sketching, painting and drawing faces and human forms, but I'd love to start tackling more animals.
For this year's One World One Heart (my first one)
I started making this painting ...but I haven't finished yet...
I call it "Treasure Earth"
I will be adding more layers to it before the OWOH finishes on February 17th. That's when the winner will be drawn !
So, if you like where I am going with this and would like a chance to win this painting,
leave a comment to this post
with a way for me to contact me if you turn out to be the lucky winner ! (I will post the process and the final shot of course)
Oh, and it's open to bloggers worldwide, but you don't have to come all the way to New Zealand to pick up your prize, haha !
I'll send it out of course.
