I received this here very delightful package of patchwork goodness from Amanda a few days ago.

Isn’t it wonderful!! Patchwork coasters and my very first Japanese craft book ever. Chock full of great ideas. Love it all Amanda, Thanks!
And since I can’t seem to resist yet another chance to give something away (or get something in the mail), I decided to participate in a Pay It Forward blogging game via Susan at Art Esprit. Here is how it works:
“I will send a (small) handmade gift to the first 5 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.“
How does that sound? Like some artsy/crafty community lovin’! Let the crafty love flow!

I’ve never done a swap, but I LOVE your stuff… I wanna play! I wanna play!… um I don’t have a blog totally set up yet…. so it may take a little time to pay it forward… but I have 365 days right? =) You really are inspirational… thanks for all you do!

You never lose paying it forward. What a fabulously generous gift! I can’t wait to see what you do with that fabric.

[…] would like to start off this new chapter of my life with the Pay It Forward Swap by Creative Kismet. There is not much that makes me happier than giving stuff […]
