A while...hmmm a long while ago... Sorry would of organised and done this sooner but my poor health got in the way. As I am feeling much better I think it's time to do this.
Like I say a while ago I joined in of a pay in on a pay it forward event, how cool!! And I received an awesome handmade gift, from Cheryll... From Hibiscus Stitches blog. It's lovely, as you can see from the photo!
So it's my turn now!! To pay it forward.... I would like to make someone something special, handmade by me.
Here are the rules (sorry got to be some at some point!)
My pledge is to:
1. Make a little handmade something for one person who opts in. International are welcome.
2. I will choose one person with the help of Random Number Generator; you need to be a Follower of my blog.
3. It will be a surprise & will arrive when you least expect it. You will give me your postal details after you are chosen, then I will have fun leaving you to wait be surprised!
4. I must make & send my item to you within 365 days. *lol sooner probably!*
To get a handmade gift from me you have to play too!
1. If you put your name forward to receive from me, you pledge to make & send to one or up to three of your own readers.
2. It doesn't have to be 'quilty' but it must be handmade.
3. You must have a blog. If it's reasonably up-to-date, it helps the person making for you to get a feel for what you might like to receive.
4. Once you have received your mail from me, you must post about Pay It Forward on your blog & keep the fun going.
Please only put your name up if you can commit to full participation to Pay It Forward.
Please clearly state in the comments you would like to join in in the Pay It Forward event :)
I will let you know on my next post update who has been chosen :)
