Here’s the info on the contest:
“There are so many lovely giveaways in blogland, bloggers eagerly commenting and abuzz with the excitement of winning an unexpected gift, but that’s it. Someone wins, and then the generosity comes to a screeching halt and we go on with our lives. Nice, but lacking in momentum. This giveaway is a little different, however, because the “receivers” are also to become “givers”, if you will. In fact, that’s the most important rule of the game… ”
The rules: I will send three people who leave a comment on my blog a handmade gift within the next 365 days. I am willing to post anywhere in the world, so don’t let that stop you from commenting. The catch is that you must have a blog and be willing to do the same thing.
If you would like to play “Pay It Forward”, please leave a comment on this post by January 31, 2009, and I will choose two more winners. I’m looking forward to your posts!
