Hello dear readers and welcome to The Art of [being] MissKoolAid. For those of you who don't know about the One World One Heart event, please click on the image above. For those who arrived here via the OWOH blog, greeting!

Bonjour chers lecteurs et chères lectrices et bienvenue à The Art of [being] MissKoolAid. Pour ceux et celles qui ne connaissent pas l'événement One World One Heart, cliquez sur l'image ci-dessus. Pour ceux et celles qui arrivent du blogue OWOH, salutations! 

My name is Sophie and I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I consider myself an artist and crafter though I do have another job as a childcare educator to help pay the bills. I enjoy many forms of arts and crafts as can be seen while visiting my blog (art journaling, drawing, stitching, embroidery, restyling, painting, photography and so on.) I live with a very bossy cat who goes by the name of Diesel. She's my furry baby and I love her to bits! I've been writing this blog for 4 years now and this is my 3rd time participating in OWOH. I'm looking forward to all the new blogs this event will help me discover.

Mon nom est Sophie et je vis à Montréal, Québec, Canada. Je me considère comme une artiste et artisanne même si j'ai un autre travail comme éducatrice en service de garde pour aider à payer les factures. J'aime plusieurs formes d'art et d'artisanat comme vous pouvez le voir sur mon blogue (journal artistique, dessin, couture, broderie, restyler, peindre, photographie et bien plus.) Je vis avec une chatte autoritaire qui se nomme Diesel. Elle est mon bébé poilu et je l'aime à mourrir! J'ai commencé ce blogue il y a 4 ans déjà et c'est ma 3e participation à OWOH. J'ai hâte de découvrir plein de nouveaux blogues grâce à cet événement.

Now, on to the giveaway portion of this event...
I am offering one (1) prize this year. A set of five (5) linkable notebooks made by me for one (1) lucky winner. This person will choose the color(s) they want for the covers as well as the type of paper for the pages (lined, grid, plain, newspaper, watercolor or a mix of any of these.)

Et maintenant, la partie du tirage...
Cette année j'offre un (1) prix. Un ensemble de cinq (5) cahier liable faits par moi pour un/e (1) heureux/se gagnant/e. Cette personne choisira la/les couleur/s pour les couvertures ainsi que le genre de papier pour les pages (ligné, quadrillé, ordinaire, journal, aquarelle ou un mélange de ceux-ci.)
To be eligible for this prize:
-You MUST be an active blogger (you don't have to be a OWOH participant);
- You MUST leave a comment on this post with either your email address or a link to your blog so I can reach you if you win.

Pour être éligible pour le prix:
-Vous DEVEZ être un/e blogueur/se actif/ve (pas nécessaire de participer à OWOH);
- Vous DEVEZ laisser un commentaire sur cet article avec soit votre adresse courriel ou un lien vers votre blogue pour que je vous contacte si vous gagnez.
That's it! Any blogger worldwide may participate and I will announce the winner here AND by email or as a comment on their own blog on February 17th 2011.
Good luck!

C'est tout! N'importe quel/le blogueur/se dans le monde peut participer et j'annoncerai le/la gagnant/e ici ET par courriel ou en commentaire sur leur blogue le 17 Février 2011.
Bonne chance!
