PAY IT FORWARD!!!

 

Deborah over at Scrapping Mamma posted this wonderful "Pay It Forward" post on her blog I picked it up from Cuttin and Stampin think it's a WONDERFUL idea and I couldn't wait to participate and pass it on!!  :)  As of May 11, the spots were filling up quickly.

"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.

"I promise to send an original creation to the (1st) 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this on there blog, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."

Here's what you need to do:
1. Leave a comment on this post. I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who comment.
2. Create a post on your blog offering the same.
3. Send a handmade item to your first 5 people who comment.
4. It must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.
Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to making your 5 items!

**If you are one of the first 5 people to leave a comment on this post, PLEASE email me your mailing address (scrappingmamahen at gmail dot com)...  It will also be helpful if you put "PAY IT FORWARD" in the subject line.  Thanks so much!!  I'm excited to Pay It Forward!! :)

Thank you all so much! I know there is one more blog I need to visit, they told me there is an award there for me. I will check it out tomorrow. Our basement flooded, apparenly, with sewage "type" water. Everything in the basement is ruined. So, I will be doing massive clean outs this week and next. Hope to be back in with a few projects in between running garbage duty!
