One World One Heart Giveaway

***This just in 02/03/08 Super Bowl Sunday @ 1605 hours: Lisa says to add this:

That anyone wishing to should leave a comment between now and the 13th of the month. I will then draw a winner on the evening of the 13th and make the YOOOOOGE announcement on the 14th. That is Valentine's Day. Hey! I get it now! COOL! Valentines Day? Heart? World? (nods head knowingly and with a deep sense of satisfaction here..) Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, I am supposed to ask folks to leave me a link to their blog, an email address (I love those) or some way to contact the winner to get an address to send this AWESOME OWOH GIFT to.

Get it?

Got it?

Bueno.

(now back to our regularly scheduled post...)

This is Neropaco. It is a store. It is a store that sells creations uttered in glass by the owners. The owners are brother and sister. Neropaco is in Venice. More specifically, it is on the island most famous for its glaziers, Murano.


This is my sister, Karen. On her left (yes, to your right) is Monica. Monica assists her brother in the making of fine glass pieces. Specifically, Monica makes some of the smaller pieces.
Even more specifically, Monica made this.

And she included bags to go with each piece Karen and I walked away with. Yes, you get a BAG. A Venetian Bag! w00t!
But that's not all. When you win this One Heart piece, you win also an individually wrapped bag of Japanese Dried Shrimp With Green Bean. It is a bit spicy. And the shrimp are cute. (notice cheap plug for Jeremy's book all propped up nice next to the giant hooka.) No. You do NOT get my red sweatshirt salvaged from the dumpster in a rich residential area NOR my cap which I found on the ground at the beach all wet and dirty at the time. (So was the cap, by the way.)
And what would a giveaway such as this giveaway be without some showmanship. In honor of Somewherejoe's magnificent feet....uh.....yeah they are magnificent, but what I mean to say here is fete, you can receive with a smile the knowing that your Venetian bag with its contents of one Murano glass bracelet and its accompanying individually wrapped bag of Dried Shrimp With Green Bean has been clenched ever so lovingly in my teeth while performing what has come to be known as The Somewhere Joe Jocular Microwave Move. And yes, there will be teethmark indentations on the bag. (notice cheap plug for my ability to associate with blonde hotties---friend, Summer---as depicted in deliberately posed framed photo. nana g on fridge and cold water salt water aquarium on right.)


NOW GOOD LUCK!
