The last one! I'm so sad, but I want to thank Lisa Swifka so much for hosting them the past five years! Anyway, I'm finally participating in the fifth and final One World One Heart 2011!
I'm a fifty-something widow who is also a graduate student in mid-nineteenth century American history, a grandmother of several, mom to five kids and two cats (first time I haven't had a dog in several years!), and a lover of writing, art, and craft. I also love to watch (when I can) old television shows (Ironside, Hawaii Five-O - new and old, Columbo, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, etc.) and British shows (crime dramas like Inspector Lynley and Inspector Lewis, and comedies - my favorite being As Time Goes By). And a lot of the time when I'm watching the old shows, I'm gazing fondly at the decor because I love mid-century modern anything! So, while all of my current history projects are centered in the 1860s, my heart floats in the 1960s! I even find the arts and crafts of that era amazing, both in observation and in creation. I also am adamant that if we don't fix our environment, nothing else will matter much. So in that vein, most of the crafts that I enjoy involve at least some recycling.
I'm giving away the book "A Treasury of Quilt Labels" by Susan McKelvey, a wonderful source of all manner of labels to attach to your quilts! In order to win, leave a comment at the end of this post. I'll be choosing a winner by random generator and will announce on February 17. If possible, I'll be adding another gift for a second winner. Hope you win!

Hello...hope you don't mind if I follow you. I was looking at the picture of your great Grandma Kate & she looks like my GGma RosaBelle. Those women loved their apron's didn't they?
I think we around the same age, as I definitely know all those television shows you mentioned...but I was more into things like Star Trek, Big Valley, High Chapperal, American Bandstand...oh & movies! I'd come home from school & sit & watch the black & white movies which I still adore. Nice to met you.

Hi there, hope you are enjoying the ride. Please call in on me at #100 if you have a chance.
Another Inspector Lewis fan here, actually prefer it over Morse. Ooh and love Midsomer Murders too... yep and Columbo. Used to love Quincy too - I blame my Mum - she used to sit there watching them all and furiously click clacking away on her needles, getting ever faster when the juicy bits were happening :D
Thanks for the chance to win your intriguing sounding book - Please feel free to visit my OWOH Post :)

It was great reading your blog and I adored the picture of 1955 around the kitchen table. Too fun! Make me want to step in the picture to get in on the action. I was born in 1954. Also sorry about Esme:( She had a good life with you for awhile.
I am a quilter so as much as I would want your prize, I already have this one so if you pick me, you can pass on to someone else who could really use it.
I am glad to have met you on OWOH and hope that you find many more friends too. Wanda from Ohio #220

Hello Jan, it's lovely to meet you. I can remember all those TV shows you mention. I used to love Bewitched! The new Hawaii 5-O has just been on TV here and we watched the first episode the other night - it wasn't bad and was interesting to know how the team first got together.
I'd love to win your prize as I'm just getting into quilting albeit on a small scale at the moment.
I hope you'll stop by and see my giveaways too on my blog.

A quilter often is looking for ways to label their quilts- Your book is a terrific offering as a prize. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Hope you have had a wonderful OWOH. It has been a great event to meet some new blogging friends.
