One World One Heart Blogland Extravaganza !!!

Well good Friday morning Blogland Neighborhood !!!We here at MBIAJ Headquarters are happy to be participating in the One World One Heart Blogland event, hosted and created by Lisa Swifka of Whimsical Bohemian. This is a world wide Blogland event where (so far) 796 Blogland neighbors are participating ! The idea is to meet and visit with Blogland neighbors living all over the Blogosphere planet. Each participant also has a fun give away prize that you can win by leaving a comment on their blog. The drawing for all prizes is on Feb. 15th. The theme for this year's "One World One Heart" extravaganza is "Riding the Magic Carpet". Well, Kitty , being the extreme sports enthusiast that she is.......




....has been riding around on that thing for the past week! She tells us she's getting pretty good at the flying part, however....





.....she hasn't quite perfected landings and parallel parking .....






......uh oh ......








well....looks like Kitty has some 'splainin to do to the cops and may be busy for quite awhile so why don't we just sneak back to Headquarters and the MBIAJ Sewing Dept can show you what they made for the give away ....





.... a wool felt candle mat ....


.....and here's how it looks with a candle sitting on it !


The MBIAJ Sewing Dept hopes you like it as much as they enjoyed creating it .... and all departments here at "Moonbeams in a Jar" want to thank you all for visiting and invite you to come back and visit us often!! Now, don't forget to leave a comment on this post for a chance to win this candle mat .... AND don't forget to visit all of the other blog participants (they are listed on the sidebar of Lisa's "A Whimsical Bohemian" blog) to see and comment on their give away prizes ! .... and mark your calandars for Feb. 15th for prize drawings throughout the "One World One Heart" Blogland Extravaganza !!!

Well, guess we better go bail Kitty out of jail......

Be back soon!
Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)

What a lovely "giveaway" Mare! Thanks so much for the chance to win :)

I'm so sorry about the diagnosis you all just got for Matt. God Bless him! His Mama too!!! They've come a long, long way w/the disease, so I have full confidence that he'll weather it all just fine. He'll learn quickly how his body will react to certain things, which will help greatly. He will definitely be in our prayers; and if you ever need to talk, you just let me know. You can e-mail me any time at:

upool1@bellsouth.net

I'll be happy to give you my phone number as well :)

Hugs to you my dear!

Hello Mary Anne from Victoria, Australia.
Love your story with Kitty.Made me smile, and it has been a long, hot day.The candlemat is very nice. It is not something I have heard of before. Is it just for jar candles?
I think it is pretty all the same and love the colors and work you put into it.
