1 World Globe WIN!

I recieved my WIN from:

I told you in my other post that I had won one of their Gemstone Globes. Well, I got it!

It looks like it was damaged a tiny bit during transit, but, it is not big enough to take away from the beauty. It is just a small chip at the top from the axis bar getting shoved into the Globe.

But, seeing it in person and how BIG it is, made me gasp. I was not expecting it to look so huge and the gemstones are captivating to look at! Especially the Jades and Mother of Pearl.

So, here are some pictures. If you want to see other products they have, click on the picture above. They don't have anymore like mine...just in a smaller version. But, they do have a contest that runs quarterly where you can win a prize. Sorry, it looks like the prize they have now is a small globe, only 4 inches. Mine is 13 inches...HUGE!

Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

It stands what seems to be 2 ft tall, but, is only about a foot and a half.

Can you tell we are excited?

We went to look up Yellow Jasper and its meaning. You know how stones have certain properties, energy? Well, I wanted to know what kind of energy it was going to bring into the house.

I found that it says that it is a strong protection gemstone, jasper sustains and supports during times of stress. It is one of the oldest known gemstones, is mentioned in the Bible several times and is a strong securing gemstone. It is a stability gemstone, a powerful protection against things that are not good for you and it eases emotional stresses, plus it channels positive energy.

How cool is this?? Just what we need right now! I hope it hurrys up and gets here! The gentleman that contacted me said it should arrive in a couple days. It is being shipped out of Seattle...90 miles away, so it should take no time at all! You can't tell I am excited can you!

I know that Leah,will love it! She was always cuddled up in our overstuffed chair growing up and looking at the Atlas books that were larger then her. She would grab the World Books to look up the different countries and I imagined the hours she spent in that chair, she was dreaming of, or astro projecting, traveling to all the different places she was finding and reading about. These times she spent in that chair were the only times she was the most still and most quiet. Since she has ADHD, I knew this was something she was hooked on since she could never sit still for anything, without, her little thin legs bouncing and twitching up and down, except for when she was looking at the books. She is going to want this left to her in my will! I imagine she will get lost in the globes beauty and again start to think of her goals of traveling the world again. LOL! Maybe when she does come back to us, the stones properties will bring her positive thoughts of being here.

That is a lot to ask from a stone! But, we can always pray!

I am very appreciative for this gift and cannot thank 1-WorkGlobe enough. Their globes are so beautiful and luxurious. You must visit and see the huge variety of Gemstone globes as well as other specialty Globes, kids globes, teaching aids, ballons, games, clocks,specialty gifts and they will even make you your own custom Globe! They have everything you can think of.

So, make sure to take time and visit and see all they have. You might find something for yourself or a gift for some one special. I looked up on ebay and internet for comparables, and 1- World Globe's prices are just as much as what I was finding on the internet and Ebay. A globe almost like mine, with a gold base and the same diameter was retailed at $600 and the were selling it for $279, plus S&H. So, it was actually more expensive then 1-WorkGlobe's price!

A BIG HUG AND THANK YOU TO 1-WORLD GLOBE! Again....LOL!

LOOK at what I WON!

I have wanted one of these all my life since I first saw one in someones home as a young girl.

I believe then, since it was massive, they were extemely expensive. But, this was a luxury I could never afford, especially with kids.

Now they are gone and we get to have one!

I actually won the contest in June of '08! I hope it does not take as long for me to recieve it! But, they have the most beautiful globes on this site and I would go visit and just drool! Hoping one day I would be able to be extravegant for once and buy one that I did not find at some garage sale or Goodwill. LOL! You know me...if it is not on clearance or I can't find it at Goodwill...I did not buy it!

Anyway, they have a contest going on for a different globe which is a monthly drawing. It is a small gemstone globe in a Gold hand. If you like these as much as I do, visit the site by clicking on their banner above and Good Luck!

Thanks to Paul from World Globes and Maps!!
