DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOU.....!

I hope that the title of this post grabs your attention.




I have just signed up to Pay it Forward (PIF) a lovely idea of passing on a kindness to others without expecting anything in return.  I am sure that there are a lot of folk out there who have already received parcels of goodies from complete strangers and wondered at their generosity. Well now we can pay a little back by keeping this ring of kindness going.
So...the rules...
I will send a gift to the first 3 people to comment on this post. I will promise to send it in the next 365 days (don't ask me where that came from, I will send mine by the end of August at the latest ). The only criteria is that if you sign up you must be prepared to send a gift to 3 other people by making your declaration in a post like this and sending your gifts to the first 3 people to comment and so on.
I don't know where the original idea for this started, I signed up with Jackanne of Starting Off.
I have never been a fan of chain letters but since each person chooses to join or not and are not coerced, I think it's a good idea and hope you do too!
Lets spread the bloggy kindness about, it's what we do best!!




....yes I know this has nothing whatever to do with this post, but isn't he so cute!! I am trying to draw a reasonable likeness to convert to embroidery for a new project, so thought I would just show you my model!
