I got my five Hand Made Pay It Forward gifts packaged up today and ready to be mailed tomorrow.
One of the rules of this fun project was that it had to be done by the end of 2012. I knew that once we jumped back into our remodeling next month and gardening started and the hurry-flurry of good ol' summertime hit, I might not have time to get the hand made thingies done. So I've been working on them for a couple of weeks, on and off, finished them up and did the final packaging today.
I'm glad they are done and ready to wend their way to different locations all over the country . . . and I gotta say it really was fun to do!
I hope one day we get to see what you made? :) Wow, I'm impressed! I have all the names/addresses up next to my bed, so I see them and am reminded often. I'm still thinking about I want to make, but one of these days I'd better get going!
Trailshome - Oh, pul-eeze! Not amazing at all. Except that (for once) I got something like this done way ahead of time. Hmmm, should I be worried about what's happening here?
dr momi - As per above comment, I kinda was impressed, too! ;o]
I had almost forgot you guys were doing this,(ya,me bad) some parts of it come back to mind tho-should be interesting to see everyone's surprise when you send you your lovely " pay it forwards" I hope you visit face book I finally posted Jerry o your ( or c.m.'s ) quilt face book page . there just wasn't enough light tho-he always looks pale or " don't judge a book by its cover?"
I am happy that you got these done so early but sad that I am not on your list. OK, not real sad but somewhat because although I won't be receiving anything, at least I don't have to try to get 5 new things done by the end of the year. Bet your receivers are going to be thrilled with "whatever" it is you made .... wink, wink!!!
I've been thinking about doing mine - does that count? Oh, you are such a show-off ;o) But, as the ant to our grasshopper, we could all learn a thing or twelve from your organized spirit!
I bet I can guess what those hand made items are. Lucky people to receive them. No procrastination at your house at least not when it comes to crafting things. :)
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.
