Pay it forward

November 28th, 2007

Even though I thought the movie was contrived and totally blew it in the last ten minutes, the basic premise was sound. So…

Who wants to play a game?

Thanks to saramoe at Unequivocally Moe, I am participating in Pay it Forward – The Blog Edition. Here’s how it works: I will send handmade gifts to the first three people who leave a comment and tell me they are interested in playing. In order to play, you must have your own blog and you must continue to pay it forward by promising the same thing to your readers.

Now, as far as the handmade gifts go, I don’t know yet what they will be. I also don’t know when I’ll get them sent. You may not receive the gift tomorrow or next week, but I do promise that it will get to you within the next 365 days! Sound good? I think it sounds great!

Remember, I will be choosing the first three people who respond by leaving a comment on this blog post. The requirements are that you have your own blog and are willing to send out three of your own homemade gifts (whatever you want to make, no rules or limitations here).

I am willing to ship my gifts anywhere in the world, so everyone is eligible to participate regardless of what country you are blogging from! Just please make sure you leave a valid e-mail address so I can contact you for shipping information.

So go ahead; leave a comment. Move this forward again. If I don’t know you, please leave your email address or some way to contact you.

Can’t wait to hear from you!

Edited to add: Congratulations to Maura from paper bluebird; Stephanie from hot from the furnace; and Linda, whom you might know from Belle’s Yahoo! 360 Profile or from the Color Me Happy Swaparooni group on Flickr. Thanks for playing, ladies! This is gonna be fun. Oh, and to those of you who wanted to play but missed this cut, feel free to wander on over to one of the aforementioned sites and get in on their giveaways!

    Darn I missed out on the start of it all. It is a wonderful idea. I am going to check out the others, but I might just do it anyway as a take off from you, if that would be ok of course?
