Pay it Forward

I’m taking part in a Pay It Forward exchange that Julie turned me on to. I've seen it going around on a couple of other blogs and I love the idea of it.

Here's the deal:









It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of 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, but I promise it will be something fun. I will try to get the gift out within the next three weeks.

What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

If you’d like to take part, be one of the first three to comment mentioning that you’re signing up for the PIF exchange. You’ll have to agree to the this pledge:

I, [insert your name here] will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange, and who make the same pledge on their own blogs.

Did you say it aloud? Come on, put your hand over your heart and say it like you mean it!


I'll even send gifts to more than three people, as long as you are willing to make the same promise on your blog. I'll contact you via e-mail to get your mailing address to send the gifts to. This is gonna be fun!

I love this idea! Especially for those of us stuck in this long wait. Count me in.
