Pay It Forward Exchange

So yesterday I was reading my good friend Jannette's blog and I read about the PIF Exchange. Since I'm always up for a fun exchange where I can give something great to someone great, I decided to join. Here is the gist of the exchange (taken blatantly from Jannette's blog who took it blatantly from Alaina's blog ;)).

PIF Exchange

This exchange is based on this gorgeous movie with Helen Hunt in it called 'Pay It Forward'. How many of you out there have had a chance to watch it? O.K. If you've yet to see the movie (as I do, and I will be adding it to my Netflix queue when I'm done typing this blog), this is what the PIF Exchange is all about......


"Here is how it works! I'll send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange! I don't know what that gift will be yet, and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week...LOL... but you will receive it within 365 days, that's a promise! and it will be something yummy!! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog..."

So the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog, will get something made for them by me! I can't wait to see who you are! I should be able to come up with something good for you all, just you wait and see! Let me know you want in and if you are among the first 3, you'll be in! I'll need your email address when you comment so that I know how to reach you to obtain your address, ok?

Join in and then just pay it forward!

list of things to blog about

if i ever find the time, here's what i'd like to blog about:

-the move from last apartment i'll ever live in to house i plan to die in (never moving again!)
-my sister's beautiful wedding and everything about it, including lots of great pics
-the new house
-how the puppies like the new house and the cute things they are doing here
-the new neighbors who are all so great!
-dishrag tag
-other random summer things that are leaving me w/ no blogging time (bachelorette parties, bridal and baby showers)
-my first-ever enrollment in fantasy football (i barely know what a first down is, so this outta be good)
-knitting (imagine that - i'd like to talk about knitting on my knitting blog lol) and the fo's i've produced since i moved (there have been just a couple small things, but i have taken pics, so i'd like to post them)

so there, as soon as i find some time, i will start working off this list to make some worthwhile posts. until then, please accept my apologies for my lack of blogging in this busy crazy insane summer life i lead : )

until then, i leave you w/ this silly collage of pics of me when i was a wee one (my mom called me jenny-penny back then...she's the only one i would consider letting get away w/ calling me that today, and please note that i said "consider" hehe)...
