PAY IT FORWARD

I believe in paying it forward....so many people have been kind and shown me kindness throughout my life and I always try to share my good fortune with others. I first encountered the pay it forward in the quilting world when I first starting blogging...happened upon a blog full of wonderful art and quilts and primitive dolls. The prim dolls were totally new to me. I joined the blogger's yahoo group and within a year, I met the wonderful lady in person. I did post the pay it forward challenge that she had on her blog on mine; however, no one took the challenge and I've subsequently decided to take up the challenge myself. A few month ago, Kate Erbach, doll maker extraordinaire, gifted me a wonderful, beautiful doll(along with some other very valuable doll making patterns)! We participated in a doll swap last year. I absolutely love her (Blush, pictured here) and in the spirit of paying it forward, I am sending out a pay it forward gift to a totally unsuspecting individual and when that person receives the gift, I will post a pic of the gift on my blog. This person is going to be very surprised! I would post a corner of the gift, but no....I will wait until it is delivered! SUSPENSE.....

PAY IT FORWARD CHALLENGE
is an act of kindness done with no expectation of anything in return but the hope that the recipient of the gift will continue the challenge.....
I start by promising to make and send (3) gifts for the first(3) FRIENDS who post a comment to this post....I hope you will promise to post the challenge announcement on your blogs and carry forth the promise to gift (3) friends with a gift each!

MY PROMISE
I will send out the (3) gifts within 365 days! You will not know when....please don't forget to leave your email so that I can answer your post! lol....
