It just so happened the friend posted a Pay-it-forward (see below) game, and I got to be one of the first to see it! I think it was the first contest I won in my life. : ) I got a fun package in the mail today of the coolest stuff that I've never seen in a store!<br /><br />So, now it's my turn to have the joy of sending someone a prize. Be the first 3 people to rsvp to this post, and you'll get a free gift.<br /><br />Here are the official "rules": The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and pay it forward.This is how it works... I am going to agree to send something fun, cute, & nice to the first 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry. In turn, those three will post this information and pick 3 people they want to send something to and so on.<br /><br />Unfortunately, due to postage costs, I can only pay it forward within the United States.<br /><br />If you are interested in participating, be one of the first 3 blog owners to leave a comment! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. Just a gift that will make the person smile. There are no cost restraints, but don't go crazy! If you'd like to join in, be one of the first 3 people to leave a comment. You have to promise that you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, and then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog. I hope people like this idea. It's a small way to bring a smile to someone's face!<br /><br />have fun!Design Chickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05637391557821609274noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865901861772700610.post-6994860480663946192009-01-09T10:42:00.000-08:002009-01-09T10:46:47.167-08:00SLR trainingHi gals~ I need to figure out how to use my new toy, a Canon SLR camera.

Today was about Financial freedom. I don't know if anyone has heard of Susie Orman but this week Oprah has a link to download her new book for free. Who doesn't like a free book? So if any one is interested here's the link:<br /><a href="http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20081119_tows_bookdownload">http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20081119_tows_bookdownload</a><br />Happy 2009!<br><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pnBcW20Ek9g/SWZ6Q37zLtI/AAAAAAAAACA/bSVjvZMoeI4/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 173px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pnBcW20Ek9g/SWZ6Q37zLtI/AAAAAAAAACA/bSVjvZMoeI4/s200/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289049242704490194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pnBcW20Ek9g/SWZ6ZbSDKDI/AAAAAAAAACI/9AxWoG3KuHU/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 199px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pnBcW20Ek9g/SWZ6ZbSDKDI/AAAAAAAAACI/9AxWoG3KuHU/s200/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289049389632006194" /></a><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br><br /><br><br />I can't remember if I shared this before, but I love <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/giginbigred/">Gigi</a>'s creations.

I got a hot red mixer for christmas so I'm still in the mood for sweets even after christmas:) And how can you not love cupcakes (Sabrina, I totally understand) They are so cute and there's so many variations and embellishments to add not to mention the flavorings and cake part. I ran across this gal's blog that sells cupcake and baking <span id="query" class="query">accoutrements. i love the printed cake cups and gnome cookie cutters! check out <a href="http://www.bakeitpretty.com/category_6/Bake.htm">bake it pretty</a>.<br /><br /></span>juleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238943168385339838noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865901861772700610.post-55160815186593278092009-01-07T12:09:00.000-08:002009-01-07T12:18:04.824-08:00an om-my-gosh artist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KPPkHm8p4h8/SWUN314m9kI/AAAAAAAAACE/iMHEHUQ7FrE/s1600-h/papercut2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KPPkHm8p4h8/SWUN314m9kI/AAAAAAAAACE/iMHEHUQ7FrE/s320/papercut2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288648590424995394" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPPkHm8p4h8/SWUNvZwzf1I/AAAAAAAAAB8/cUEnFGSBlic/s1600-h/papercut.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPPkHm8p4h8/SWUNvZwzf1I/AAAAAAAAAB8/cUEnFGSBlic/s320/papercut.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288648445437116242" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was just introduced to the work of <a href="http://www.misterrob.co.uk/">Rob Ryan</a>...and wow!

In my online search, I came across this site for a magazine called <a href="http://www.vogueknitting.com/">Vogue Knitting</a>. They have cool patterns for clothing, scarves and purses. With an investment in needles and yarn, plus the new sewing machine I got this Christmas, I think I'm going to make myself some clothes!<br /><a href="http://www.vogueknitting.com/"></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865901861772700610.post-272135354403025752009-01-02T09:21:00.000-08:002009-01-02T09:44:53.459-08:00{handmade} giftables<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPPkHm8p4h8/SV5QGUrCq8I/AAAAAAAAAB0/b-Gtux_n3g0/s1600-h/peace.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 271px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KPPkHm8p4h8/SV5QGUrCq8I/AAAAAAAAAB0/b-Gtux_n3g0/s320/peace.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286751082138217410" border="0" /></a><br />Happy New Year Everyone!! So I ran across these adorable cards while I was at <a href="http://www.papertrailstoyou.com/">Paper Trails</a>, a stationery shop in Rocky River. <a href="http://nightowlpapergoods.com/">Night Owl Paper Goods</a> makes these cute and whimsical yet retro feeling cards and gifts. I just loooove the cards on actual wood that look like they are illustrated right on the thin wood board. And they are green!juleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238943168385339838noreply@blogger.com0
