Payin' it forward

I love winning things! It's just such a fun little surprising treat. Especially for one, such as myself, who seldom wins anything. What's even more fun for me though is crafting and giving stuff away. So, that is the lead in to this post... A while back (probably can be measured in months by now...) I won a bloggy give away that was extra special. Rachel @ Musings of a Future Pastor's Wife had won a pay it forward give away and kept the goodness going in her own crafty giveaway. With a pay it forward give away you enter to win on the premise that if you are the winner you will, at some point (maybe even months later), do a give away of your own. I was one of several who won Rachel's give away. She was pretty generous. Rachel has an Etsy shop with all kinds of crafty goodness. Go to her blog and from there you can find a link for her Etsy shop. She makes the neatest pendants from scrabble tiles! As neat as they look in pictures, I have to say that when I received mine in the mail it was even prettier. :) She does a lot of different designs, colors, and fonts. I picked a brown cross. Isn't it fun? So, I have finally gotten some crafting of my own done so that I can keep the give away fun going! I made this little sign as a reminder to keep a thankful heart in everything. It just happens to look pretty good in my house and it just so happens to be a reminder I need so much each and every day. :) I will be making an identical one to keep. 'Cause I am generous like that. Or selfish, or some thing.

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and you will be entered to win the sign. Be sure to have your email address included in your comment so I can contact you if you are the wonner. I sense that some of you are nervous now. You think that if you enter you will have to come up with some crafty project and have your own give away. Well, I am going to make this easy for you. Because I like you, and I don't want any one to have bloggy give away anxiety.

If you enter and happen to win I would love it if you just kept the pay it forward idea some where in your mind. You don't have to do anything crafty, do a bloggy give away, or post about it, jut look for opportunities to give some thing away some time in the next few months. You do not even have to have a blog to enter. Now if you win, you really enjoy crafting, and have just been waiting for an opportunity to make some thing to give away then please do! :) If that is the case you will just come up with your idea and compose a blog post similar to this one, keeping the pay it forward give away on a roll.

This give away will be open until Monday, January 19th, at which time a random winner will be drawn. Go on now, enter to win and then go tell your friends all about it! :) On a different note, I want to sincerely thank every one for their incredibly kind comments during the anniversaries of J.D. s birth and death. It means so much to me!
