A few months ago, Lou from Happy Serendipity posted about a little game with the following rules:
- I make a handmade gift for the first 3 people to comment.
- I have 365 days in which to send you the gift.
- The gift will be a total surprise.
- You keep this going by posting Pay It Forward on your blog (obviously, you must have an active blog to participate).
Luckily I had just stumbled upon her blog and was the third commenter, lucky me! If you don’t follow her blog, you should, she posts about all sorts of inspiration and sewing crafts, all the way from GERMANY!
So go ahead, leave a comment on this post and the first 3 people to do so will get something handmade by me! I won’t approve comments until the end of the day so the comments will show as ZERO until I approve them, that way it will be more like a surprise who wins! Assuming I even get 3 comments by the end of the day! I won’t have much time to check my blog or yours (sorry!) today with being crazy busy at work and traveling home today. 😉 The reason I’m posting this sooo many months later is because back in March when Lou did her Pay It Forward post, I didn’t feel like I knew how to make a lot of things, but with this blog as my motivation to be crafty (and possibly one day open up an etsy shop), I feel like I’ve come a long way! And really, I just wanted to take this time to THANK YOU all for following me and always leaving such encouraging, hilarious, and supportive comments… each one truly does put a smile on my finger(s)!
Say HELLO to Mrs. Rosey Posey and Mr. Pearl Man, these pictures were so random, just like me!
Hi, let me try to win something awesome handmade from you! 🙂
And I’d love to see the launch of your Etsy shop Sandy sometime soon! 🙂
Ciao!

Dear Sandy a la Mode blog,
My apologies for not visiting for so long. I have no good excuse. I have been a bad bloggy friend. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me.
Love,
Elisharon blog
Hi Sandy!!! Hee hee. I actually visit you everyday. But just haven’t left any comments. 🙂 I hope you are doing well. You looked gorgeous as a bridesmaids (a couple posts down).. that wedding looked spectacular!! I’m interested in seeing what you decided to do to the sewing machine table your picked up. And I’m sad I didn’t get a chance to enter your stationary giveaway. 🙁 I think I’ll just have to buy some myself. Super cute stuff!
Well, the weather here has been soooo hot! When are you going to come to visit? I hope we’ll get together soon. Kisses from Maui!
xx Love & Aloha
this = so adorable!
