Pay It Forwad - Handmade!

So I signed up for a creative challenge from my Creative Outlet, (Mel).

Basically, the idea is to share a surprise with three people that leaves comments on the post. Those three people, the first three that comment, will receive a handmade gift from me through the mail within the next year (365 days.) You won't know when it is coming...

Here's what you need to do:
1. Leave a comment that includes your name, email address, and either blog address or Facebook address. (You may need to add me as a friend so I can see your page.)
2. Pay it forward by doing the same for three people through your own blog or facebook page.

Here is what I will do; I will confirm that you, my three commenters have met the requirements, above and then contact you via email to get your snail mail address, color preferences, and other info to help me make you something personal and special.

This is going to be a blast, and the only string attached is that you also pay-it-forward, (do something special for another three people).

Wonderful Etsy Artisans and Blog Readers...

Hello everyone!
I found a heart-tug forum thread on Etsy yesterday, and thought I would share a little about it.
There's this beautiful little girl, Reagan Olivia, who's struggling and could use some warm fuzzy goodness and your prayers. Her parents could use a little dose of the same, plus hope & strength. =*^.^*= You can read about Reagan's progress by clicking here, (she's got her own blog, already!). Don't forget to leave a comment on her blog- comments have been a wonderful source of strength for all involved!
Thanks for spreading the love around!
