Pay it forward

Recently I was lucky to have won a ’pay it forward’ on Ros’s blog and now I get to play along in the pay it forward.

I will make something special for three people who comment on this post, and those commenters can do their own “Pay it forward” on their blog.

I will make and send off the goodies sometime in the next 2 months.

If you are interested in playing leave a comment on this post, I’ll draw 3 names from the comments and you can then play “Pay it forward” on your blog. Edit to add: If you want to play along and don’t have a blog, that’s fine too, I know that you, my lovely crafty friends will pay it forward in some way even if not via a blog.

I’ve already created the following 3 little gift card sets to send to the names I draw out.



I’ve just loved creating these cards using some new nesties and stamps I purchased recently as well as some diecuts (how cute are those trees?)

The gift of poetry. We went and visited Jason’s Nanna on Monday and each time we see her we’re saddened by her decline further and further into alzheimers. This time she has lost weight and no longer wears her teeth. She can’t talk really at all other than a few simple words that are hard to understand and we’re unsure if she knows who we are. She sat pretty quietly the whole time we were there, however when Jason and his Mum started reciting poetry to her a light clicked on inside. Her eyes got wider and she started moving her mouth trying to say the words. The more they got into a rhythm with the poem the more she came alive. It was a poem Nanna had taught Jason as a youngester called ‘The green eye of the little yellow god’
It was such a beautiful, yet teary moment.

And lastly, I’m getting one of these!
I’ve purchased the bottom left one with the 2 gorgeous babushka dolls. These of course were created by the lovely and talented Kate Mason, if you want to purchase a Kate original you can check them out on her blog here. I can’t wait to have this hanging in my home!
