Pay it Forward....

  • Swistle has started a massive group effort for a Pay-it-Forward contest. I love giving gifts....big, small, gifts that are hand-made, or bought...I love giving. SO, I've decided to do this on my blog too.
Welcome to the Pay It Forward Contest
  • Here's how it works.
  • I want to you to win something, and I want to send you a gift. A random winner will be picked and all you have to do is leave a comment on this post by noon (central time) on this Friday, July 4th. A computer link will randomly pick from the commenters a winner and that commenter will be sent a great gift!

  • THEN. Here's the pay it forward section.... If you win, you must pay it forward to someone else. In this blogworld, it means it's your turn to assemble a gift and pick someone else to mail it to. Then that someone will find another commenter or friend or stranger and send another gift and so on, until we're all paying it forward around the world! You can participate even if you don't have a blog. If you're not a blogger, just email me and I'll enter you in my drawing and throw your name in with the commenters. Then if you win, to keep the pay it forwardness going, either I can do a post for you here and you can pick from the comments on "your post", or you can just pay it forward to someone you know in real life; just pick a random person you know and surprise them with a little care package!

  • It's all about just passing on that little bit of something nice to put a smile on someone's face... and the real world is just as important as the blogworld! (It's just more fun to see it unfold on blogs so we can all see the goodies everyone gets! :) I'll let you know when the contest is up. I can't wait to see what I find to send!!! I can't wait! Now go comment. Also: if you're feeling adventurous, Swistle has a whole list of Pay-It-Forward contests linked on her blog so you can go check those out.

Thanks Heather for helping me out with the wording of the post! ha! :)
