pay it forward

{The Rules)

***Sorry to disappoint, but this doll is an example of what my craft WON'T be.

1. Be one of the first FIVE bloggers to leave a comment on this post, which then entitles you to a handmade item from me - something crafty, yummy, artsy, silly, who knows?

2. Winners are supposed to post this on THEIR blogs and pay it forward, but if you happen to be one of my non-blogging readers, I'm not counting you out. You can win, too. But you still have to pay it forward, somehow.

3. The gift that you send to your friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog (or non-blog obligation) at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And, remember: It’s the thought that counts!

4. When you receive your gift, please feel free to blog about it, sharing appropriate pictures and comments! If you are not one of the Top Five Commenters on this post, you can still play along. Go ahead and start your own Pay It Forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same! SO, REMEMBER...Pay it forward!

Danelle said...: I have to admit...this is NOT my doll, I found this picture on the internet and knew I had to attach it to illustrate the type of craft I would NOT be making. Sorry to get your hopes up, Christin.; February 22, 2009 at 5:43 PM
