A Pay It Forward Gift From Michelle

If you read my post a last week about Pay It Forward, you might remember that I learned about it from Michelle of Petite Michelle Louise



I have recieved my gifts from Michelle!!! The package is so sweetly wrapped in pattern paper, and the gifts are lovely! Thoughtfully handmade and perfect for me!






















I loved each little piece and couldn't wait to look inside the tempting package. There were also some little bird shapes cut from book print, but I forgot to take a picture. Very sweet!!!
Thank you Michelle!!!!

I have not made my Pay It Forward gifts yet. I hope to get a start this weekend. You may ask yourself what I'm doing inside on such a beautiful day... I am listing items that Lumpkin no longer treasures on ebay (and it takes forever!), but I do have Bob Seger playing on the stereo as I work in the sunroom with the sliding glass door open allowing the outside to come in. (The roommate's cats are loving me for it!) Hopefully, I will be able to fit a little creating in while the light is still so fabulous. Gotta run now. I have a quiche baking in the oven. Happy Weekend, my bloggie friends!!!!!

Pay It Forward

I heard about Kelly at "Till Death Do Us Part" from Michelle at Petite Michelle Louise.

Both have beautiful blogs and a lot of great ideas to share. Michelle is participating in a blog project called...Pay It Forward 2011! She found out about it from Kelly. When I read about it, I wanted to be included, but was a little concerned about finding the time to create something extra. But the idea is pretty awesome and what a great way to motivate me to create! It's also a fabulous way to gain new friends, receive inspiration from the creativity of others and last, but not least, to "pay it forward".

Here are the guidelines:

The first five people who comment on this blog post will receive a handmade gift from me! (Devonay of Lumpkin and Me)

In return, you must FIRST write a blog post explaining Pay It Forward 2011.

Then.... send out a handmade gift to the first 5 visitors who leave a comment. Take your time...you don't need to send them in the next few days. These creative gifts made with your hands and hearts will be worth the wait.

So, what are you waiting for? It's bound to be a lot of fun!

I liked what Michelle said on her blog: "It's not the size of the gift that matters, but the spirit of paying it forward."

Act quickly! Michelle's 5 openings filled up fast!

P.S. If you haven't seen the movie... you just gotta!!! It's awesome!

UPDATE: There are still a couple of spots open!!!!!
