Pay It Forward

You've may have seen the "Pay It Forward" on a blog here or there, I never had until a short while ago when my friend Wendi, sent me an IM about one. I went and checked it out right away. for some reason, I've was feeling extra alone last night, and finding this exchange is exactly what I needed. just the thought of sending off a surprise to brighten some one's day has put a smile on my face ... I'm so excited about this !!! So, I've commented on her blog, and hopefully someone will comment on mine so that I can continue this good will gesture.

The Pay It Forward Exchange.
It’s based on the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.I will send to anywhere in the World as long as it doesn't involve space travel ;)

Cheers !!!
