It is an event where people present their blogs and get to know each other better and visit other blogs to get to know people.Sounds very interesting. I have to do this blogpost today so here it is.
According to the instructions I have to present myself first.
I live with my boyfriend (called hubby in most blogposts), my dear son Miltos (a University student) and our dear sweet Barca (female dog).(All seen in the above picture!)
In my free time I take part in the Teachers' Association Drama Club presenting plays for children and adults, help hubby with his hobby which is shadow puppetry and do lots of other things too.
(photo from rehearsals and trips with the Drama Club)
I love travelling so in my blog you will find lots of blog posts regarding my trips in Greece and abroad.(My friend Marabeth,me and hubby in Newport, RI,U.S.A. last summer)
(Nafplion, the Peloponnese,Greece, last January)
I love handicrafts and I mainly do cross stitch, (pieces I stitched for friends)
and felted stones.(I made this one for a life long friend)
I love attending workshops doing handicrafts, learning new techniques and ...

helping charities with my crafts.
(photo of the felt ornaments I made last Christmas for a bazaar at my school)
I love collecting sea glass and add it on my felted stones as well as make jewelry with it.
I love watching movies and reading books.I love taking lots and lots of photos.(Elizabeth Park, Hartford, CT,U.S.A.)
I love going out for walks and especially at the sea front of my city Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece!
(photo taken after a storm at our sea front in 2012 and was published in a book)
(The White Tower, the landmark of my city)
I don't love cooking very much but I love making muffins.And from time to time I present a recipe.I'd love to giveaway one of my felted stones or jewelry made of sea glass.

I am a gal who loves the colour blue. I am now following you and am looking forward to reading more about your everyday life in beautiful Greece!
Beautiful pictures. I recognize the mansions in Newport and have been to the Elizabeth garden in Hartford as my sister lives nearby. I remember reading your blog too but I was sick for quite a while and didn't do much blogging. It's nice to catch up with people.
oops I meant to add that I think your felted stones are beautiful and would love a chance to win one in your giveaway. my favorite color is the color of the sea and I live in the USA.
Hello Ariadne! It was a joy visiting with you this evening :) I am coming from the Grow Your Blog party and had a lovely time reading about you and the things you enjoy.
Have a wonderful week, dear one! Hugs! Stephanie - The Enchanting Rose

What a lovely post! I have been reading about you for a while, but now I feel I know more about you! I thought I was a follower--not sure--but I KNOW I am now!! HAHA
I love green (but really all colors) and I would love to participate in your giveaway!
Thank you for this lovely post!
Hello Ariadne, so nice to find your beautiful blog, which I am now following on GFC and Bloglovin :)
Can you believe I had never heard of felted stones before this? I thought I had read about every art known to man (and woman) so what a great pleasure to learn of this. They are very attractive and I would be honoured to receive one should I be so lucky. Colours? I love many: purple, blue, orange, green :)
Thanks for sharing on the GYB party, Ariadne :)
Hello Ariadne, I am visiting you through the GYB event! I think that you work is very creative and love the stones. I would love to get to know you through this event. I am going to join you through google friend connect. I do hope that you will stop by my blog Julie's Lifestyle and enter my giveaway I have too. I look forward to learning about Greece and making a new friend.

Hi Ariadne! It was nice to visit your blog via GYB today! I am from the U.S., though I've lived and spent alot of time in many countries in both Europe and Asia. My favorite colors are pale pink and green and I love your sea glass creations!!!!
What beautiful things you do with seaglass. I live on an island off Canada's west coast. I pick up seaglass at the beach but only keep it in jars and in spots in the garden.

Μία ανάρτηση αφιερωμένη στην Αριάδνη! Πολύ την απήλαυσα! Να είσαι πάντα καλά και να περνάς υπέροχα!
Hi Ariadne, I really enjoyed reading about your life and seeing where you live. I'm always intrigued by cultures other than my own. Your felted stones are beautiful. I live in the U.S and my favorite color is blue. I'm sorry to hear that since this post went up you've had some sadness. I hope things look up. Susan
Hi Ariadne, your sea glass projects are just so beautiful! Visiting from the GYB hop, so much to see on great blogs like yours!
Hello Ariadne, I return visit via GYB. I don't travel a lot (because we have 2 cats which can't travel with us). I love see glass too - often collected it when I was a child and spent my holiday at the Baltic Sea every year. I love that.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland!

Your photos are beautiful! My favourite colour is green, and I live in Zimbabwe.

My favorite color is dark red.
Your felted stones are so pretty. I'm a big fan of sea glass as well and have some small bottles of pieces I have collected on my window sill. I am visiting from Pennsylvania, USA, and my favorite color is teal.

Love your felted stones. I collect sea glass too and display it in bottles on my window sill. I've only ever made one piece of jewelry from it. I am visiting from Pennsylvania, USA, and teal is my favorite color.
