I just discovered that Claire Bear has started a surprise pay it forward and I’ve decided to join in. It means that I get to make something for others, and I get something lovely from someone else too!
This is how it works (I’ve borrowed Claire Bear’s explanation, (via Mrs M. Makes) who borrowed it from the Quilting Chemist):
I will send a surprise gift to the first 3 people to comment on this post. This gift will be made by me and I will send it sometime within the next year. Exactly when you will receive it will be a surprise.
And here are the rules:
1. I will make a little something for the first 3 people who comment on this post. It will be a surprise and may arrive at any time in the next 365 days (yes, a year).
2. To sign up to receive a gift from me you must play along too. Share the giving love on your blog by promising to send a handmade goodie to the first three people who comment on your blog post.
3. You must have a blog.
4. After commenting on my post, you have to post this (or similar) on your blog to spread the love. If you haven’t posted in 48 hours then the next commenter will be chosen.
If you want to join in just comment below and if you’re on of the first three I’ll send you something before the end of August next year!

Such a beautiful chain of love you have forwarded, Hannah ! To celebrate my brother’s birthday tomorrow, I’m paying it forward on both of my sites — Dawne Design at http://vanessadawne.wordpress.com/ & Dawne Thoughts at http://vanessadawne.wordpress.com/
I’ll forward 6 little stained glass beauties + 1 to my brother by his next birthday! Thanks so much for paying forward this wonderfully exciting project!
What a lovely idea! I would certainly do this ten times over if I could afford all of the postage! It is such a wonderful idea!
