That was my very first Peace Globe. I hovered around the very first Blog Blast Day in Nov 2006. I didn't know anything about making a Peace Globe. I didn't know what to make of the movement either, until I did some research and read some posts, and got to know Mimi. And then I read about Papa's Marbles, and I knew that I wanted to participate.
Now it's a matter of course. I am a Peace Blogger. I am a Peace Activist. These are my Dona Nobis Pacem contributions:
