Paying it Forward

My friend Emily is participating in a Random Acts of Kindness activity in which people are making things for their bloggy friends just because it is a nice thing to do. The idea is to make something from your very own hands and pass it on. Now, since not all of us are gifted in the Handcraft Arts (myself included), Emily changed it up a bit to included any sort of service that you might be able to provide for another, it could be handmade, it could be whatever your heart can dream up that might be a positive addition to your friend's life. But, this is my promise: to the first three people who respond to this post and promise to pay it forward to another three people, I will make, create, dream up, something for you. I can't tell you what it will be, because I am going to try very hard to make it personal for the people who are willing to participate. So, if you are willing to Pay it Forward, let me know.

****************
Update: I have my three participants: Kyla, Lydia and KSpin (who all responded withing 20 minutes of my posting! You girls are quick!). If you were not as quick, feel free to pay it forward anyway, because really it is all about doing something for others without expecting something in return. It is about how good it feels to do go just because it is.
