Good Things Come in Threes...
Good Things Come to Those Who Wait...
Good Things Come in Small Packages...
A few weeks ago, I was visiting Kelli's blog, Outside My Kitchen Window, and she had written a fun post called Pay It Forward. It's a neat "game" where the first three people to leave a comment actually receive a gift in the mail. Seriously! So after squealing and jumping up and down a little bit, I left one of the first three comments for Kelli. I patiently waited while Kelli picked out the perfect gifts. And look at the package I just received in the mail...
*A cute spiral notebook for all of my list-making
*A package of spring-colored pens (because no cute spiral is complete without them!)
*Some Jelly Belly jelly beans (the only real jelly beans)
*Yankee Car Jar - Sun & Sand (so I can daydream about being on the beach on my way to work in the morning)
*A hand-written card from Kelli
*And the neatest book mark with a silver "Faith" charm

Seriously! Thanks so much Kelli -- what a treat!
And now -- for the best part -- I get to Pay It Forward!
Here's how to play: Be one of the first three people to leave a comment for me. You'll need to be willing to give me your mailing address, and I will send a small gift your way. After you receive your package in the mail, write a post about it, and link back to my blog. You also agree to Pay It Forward and send gifts to the three people who comment on your blog (remember -- only leave one of the first 3 comments for me if you are willing to send out 3 small gifts to other people!)
Ready, Set, Go!
Sounds fun! I can give you my address when I see in person - I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! I am a first time visitor (saw you on All THings Good) and decided to stop by. And I see that I am in the midst of a giveaway (someting I never win) I love to pay it forward so I would be honored if you would let me play along. :)
