From Me to You {Paying it Forward & Giveaway}

From Me to You!

Paying it Forward Presents

 

When I saw Ginger’s post the other day, I was instantly excited (plus I won….yeah me)!   I’ll be honest, I love gifts……. especially surprises!   Even more so, I love giving gifts.   Finding the perfect gift for someone, can brighten any day.  It’s that secret smile you feel when you know you have hit pay dirt and can’t wait for that special person to open it!

So what’s more fun than receiving a gift and then having a chance to pay it forward?  I love games, and Fall is the perfect time to play one!Paying it Forward

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:  I give a gift to 3 people, and those 3 people give a gift to 3 more people……and so on and so on…that is 12 people being touched by this single blog post.  WOO HOO!  The first three people to comment on this post will receive a gift from me. It may be something that I am drooling over and wish to share with others, something to wear, something to eat or maybe just something I love! Whatever it is, it will get special thought and care just for you!

The fine print:
■Within a year (it’ll be sooner than later, I love to cross things off my to-do list), I’ll create something unique to share with the first three people to comment on this post.
■But, in order to receive your present you have to play along. Spread the love on your own blog promising to send a little special something to the first three people who comment on your post.
■You get 72 hours to re-post, or I’ll have to move on to the next person.

These are the rules set forth by somebody somewhere back in the links of links of links.  They are what they are, they are straight forward and simple so don’t even bother trying to change them.

Seems like fun, right???   Want to play along?   When commenting, please make sure I have a way of getting ahold of you.  If not, the old saying stands true….you snooze you lose!

Good luck!
