Handmade Pay It Forward is an idea that has been floating around facebook for a while, but now Allison has decided to bring it into Blog Land. This is very exciting for me, because I am hopeful that together, us bloggers we can bring some excitement to what we’re making/giving as well as what we’re receiving! The energy of being excited about this project is what seemed to be lacking in the facebook version of this idea, and I am speaking in the first person here, because I slacked on it. Full disclosure: I have completed 4 out of 5 of the fb 2011 version…Kevin, if you’re reading this, I’m working on yours and I promise that you will get it!
If you are one of the first five to comment, then you must, in turn, post this on your blog and make something handmade for the first five people who comment on your post. Your item must be handmade by you and your recipient must receive their gift before the end of 2012. Your item can be as complicated or as simple as you feel comfortable creating (a cup of tea works, as does a full blown handmade item). You just have to promise to follow through.
I promise to follow through. So, if you’d like to participate, just leave a comment below and we can get started!
sounds fun. can i play?
Absolutely! And you’re the lucky number 5!!! Just shoot your address to trinityvision3(at)gmail(dot)com and let me know if there are any colors you absolutely do not like and we’ll be all set 🙂
I just won the bean trio but could I also be involved in this…..I would love to give out 5 handmade goodies to people and love to receive a handmade something from you….Can I be included???
Julie – Yes, please participate! I’ll be sending your seeds out tomorrow 🙂 Will you just shoot me a separate email stating any colors you absolutely don’t like? It’ll help me organize myself around this a little better 🙂 And hey, if you don’t mind, I’d love to jump on your craft giveaway! Do you have a blog???
I dont yet but I am gonna post it to my facebook…However since you have been so good to me I will push mine to 6 and include you without having to sign up…..love this idea so much…just return my email that I am about to send you with one with your address and any colors that you absolutely can not stand and I will get something out to you too. So exciting, YAY!!!
