Pay It Forward Bloggy Love Recipients

Thank you to those of you that are excited about participating in some Bloggy Pay It Forward goodness.

It is exciting receiving unknown gifts in the post from way over on the otherside of the world and for me, even more exciting to be sending them on.

I know a couple of you had concerns about being able to keep the Pay It Forward moving. Please don't worry about that in the slightest. I am sure you will all do what you can, even if it means, as I did, to try again later down the track.

Well I guess you really want know who are the recipients are then, don't you?

Spreading Some Bloggy Love, But You Gotta Pay It Forward

Quite some time ago I was very blessed to be one of the recipients in some Bloggy Pay It Forward Fun that Mary Lea from Pink and Green Mamma had decided to participate in.

Mary Lea made her Pay It Forward recipients a super cool repurposed tie dye tshirt bag.  You can see some a photo or two here if you like.

The rules of participation at the time were simply that you were required to pay the love forward to three other bloggers.

Well at the time (even though I did what was expected) I think I only had around 10 - 20 followers of my blog and hence no one responded boo hoo boo :-( .

That little stream of the Pay It Forward project died pretty quickly with me.

However I have not forgotten about it and have always kept the thought in the back of mind to bring back some Bloggy Pay It Forward Letterbox Love.

So that is exactly what I am doing. Right here, right now!

I have 3 distinctly Australian Gifts sitting here waiting for me to send on to one of you. Whilst I am not sharing a sneek peek image, they are very Australian in nature and that's all I'm giving away.

Participation Rules are as follows:

• Leave a comment on this blog post stating that you would like to play along (You must be prepared to follow up on your blog with your own Pay It Forward fun.)

• Comments will remain open until Monday evening (downunder time hehehe)

• I will choose three (3) random commenters using Random org for my Pay It Forward Recipients.

• A post announcing those recipients will be published shortly after, whereby you will need to contact me to claim your Pay It Forward spot.

• Once I receive the address details I will post off the gifts. At which time I hand over to you to continue the Pay It Forward Letter Box Love! 

Are you joining in the fun?!

Letter Box Love - Pay It Forward

I recently was one of the lucky three that got to play along with Pink and Green Mama's Pay It Forward fun.

To be honest when the parcel arrived the Pay It Forward thing was the furtherest from my mind. A parcel all the way from the US, what on earth could this be and who was sending it to me.

As soon as I opened it and saw the colours it suddenly dawned on me. MaryLea had posted a sneak peek during her creating of the Pay It Forward gifts she was sending.

This was so much fun and the kids were even so excited to see what mummy got all the way from America from a lady she has never even met! So what did I receive?

This super funky repurposed tie-dyed Tshirt bag. Pretty cool huh! It is huge, as in it will hold alot but it also scrunches down real small so would be great as an extra bag to take along to things when you think you may need something to bring things home in. (in other words plenty of room for lots of shopping hehehehe)

In fact the kids only made some of these a few weeks back in our Green Day activities with our homeschool network and even then I thought it was a pretty cool idea. I'd even begun daydreaming about some of the ways you could dress them up. The colours on this one are so bright and vibrant though, hey wouldn't it be a really cool as a beach bag. Especially since we are heading off to the beach in a few days time for a little break, it will definitely get used alot!

MaryLea also arranged for 3 women to receive 'mid-wife safe delivery kits' through International Medical Corps and for 3 girls in Africa to receive 'School Textbooks' from C.A.R.E woohoo....how cool is that and so very very thoughtful.

Anyway the one and only guideline for the Pay It Forward fun is that as a recipient you must also Pay It Forward.

So you wanna play?

You really do don't you?!

Ok well all you need to do is comment on this post stating that you would like to join in the fun.

You have 48 hours (roughly) to comment. Wednesday night (Aussie time) I will use a Random Number Generator to choose 3 people to play along.

You must make sure that you either leave an email address in your comment or that I can easily find your email address through your profile. Then once the lucky 3 are chosen I'll post here and will email the lucky 3 also, then it's just a matter of waiting and keeping an eye on your letterbox.

There are also no rules about what you can and can't send. Just think of something to brighten some one else's day. My gifts certainly did that for me!

So you wanna play?
