Day Brighteners.... :-)

I have been a bit "under the weather" for a while -- so you can imagine how my spirits were uplifted when the mail man brought these wonderful, thoughtful gifts ---

A beautiful little doll from Lynn -- doesn't she look like she is running to give a hug? And if you look closely at her head, you will see all the ideas just waiting to be done. What a charmer -- she stands next to my computer where I smile at her very often thru each day.


these fantastic wrist warmer/cuffs. Linda created these and they look so charming coming out the sleeves of a coat -- they make you feel feminine even during the cold dreary days of winter.


This little sewing bag with charming doll scissor fob came from Cynthia -- it was from the Pay it Forward that was going around last year. I did not remember it was coming -- so was all the more of a surprise. Thanks, Cynthia -- I use it every day and love it.

Thank you Lynn, Linda and Cynthia -- very much.

Pay It Forward (PIF) Gift Arrives -- Thanks, Maggie

Remember all the Pay It Forward sign ups that were going around about a year ago?

We all had a year to send out the hand made gifts for them.

Today the mailman brought a wonderful package - it was a PIF gift I had forgotten all about. 

Thank you so much, Maggie -- I love the pin and I have a very special place to use it but can't show until after the holiday as --- well, you know,  holiday "secrets" LOL.

What a delight.

PIF ~~~ Round 2

OK folks, here we go again.

I had such fun with the PIF a few months ago that I am doing it not once but twice more. So, read the statement below and if you are one of the first 3 to leave comment on this post, have a blog, and commit to sending out your PIF gifts, I will get a handmade gift off to you. Here's how it goes:

"Pay It Forward rules: I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange (and email me their mailing address), and who make the same pledge on their own blogs.I don't know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward meaning you will do the same for three people who comment on your blog."

This is my round two ---
Let's all have fun.

#1. Sammy of Sammy's Stuff is the first to sign up. Congratulations, Sammy.
#2. Mary of Miss Southern Breeze is the second. One more to go for this round of PIF.
#3. Donetta of A Life Uncommon is the third and final participant of this round of PIF.

OK, now it is time for me to get busy and get the gifties made for you all :-)

Pay It Forward Gifts

By tomorrow all three of my Pay it Forward gifts will be in the mail. Phyllis, yours has been mailed and I now have addresses for Barbara and Bobbi and have theirs packaged and they will be off to you tomorrow. I hope you all enjoy the little gifts and spread the fun by doing the same on your blogs.

Pay it Forward

Pay It Forward!

A number of talented ladies have posted this on their site recently. Now it is my turn!

In keeping with the spirit of the PIF, which I was introduced to me by Aryd’ell Gypsy’s Ramblings), I am offering a handmade doll (design my choice), to the first three persons who respond to this post.

The only thing you have to do in return is to pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. So basically, if you’re one of the first 3 comments, I’ll send you a handmade doll! Once you sign up, copy and paste this information on your blog, and three other lucky people will be recipients of your handmade work. (Yours can be an item of your choice -- pins, bracelet, whatever you would like to make -- does not have to be dolls)

Please leave your email addy so I can contact you to get your address.

Even if you aren't one of the three, please consider this...it is a lot of fun.

And, please allow me time to create a doll for you.
