Very Fine House, Vibeke, and Lola Nova... This is for you!

Ok.

Here we go...

This is WAAAAAY overdue and for that I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart!

Now, first and foremost I want to say THANK YOU!!!

There are 3 wonderful packages that I received from 3 wonderful people!!!

I won these lovely bird related beauties from a giveaway on Micaela's blog Dolce Vita.

It is a wonderful blog by a wonderful girl!

The gifts are from Kate at Very Fine House!

I love birds and was so excited when I won this!!!

I love them both!

Next, a HUGE thank you to Vibeke from a butterfly in my hair!!!

I LOVE her blog so much, she always has such wonderful photos to look at!

I signed up for her Pay It Forward and she sent me the most wonderful package of goodies!!!

First I opened the card... A Dottie Angel card! Amazing!

But it got better!!!

Next was a little package of all her favorite herbal teas.

I LOVE tea and drink it all day long!

So I can't wait to try these ones, they sound so delicious!

And last, she sent me 2 little faery tales wrapped in the most beautiful paper (shown under all the display of goodies).

They are absolutely precious and I love children's books, so I was very happy!

Thank you so much, Vibeke!!!!!

And lastly, but most recently, my Pay It Forward from Alex over at Lola Nova-Whatever Lola Wants.

Again, another spot on gift!

I couldn't be more appreciative!

First was a wonderful crocheted ornament which I cannot wait to hang!

Also, there was a wonderful hand sewn pouch... WITH OWLS!!!

I was so excited to see this, what a great personal touch!

And inside was a hand printed, hand sewn lavender sachet.

I LOVE lavender and thought this was a great addition because I noticed how wonderful the package smelled before I even tore into the beautiful wrapping!

(I also love her personal postcard!)

Alex, you really did a wonderful job, I love it all!!!

Whew! That was a lot!

So now it will be my turn to post another Pay It Forward which I will do in a few days.

I am sorry it took so long to share a post with my thank you's,

but I will have to blame it all on my finicky camera

which would not let me upload photos for a while.

Obviously problem solved...

After much time at the computer store and on the phone with the computer people and spending unnecessary money to fix a problem that wasn't really the problem at all...

Oh well, live and learn... Right?!?

*Much Love*

Pay It Forward

A couple of weeks ago I was visiting one of my favorite blogs, A Butterfly in My Hair.

Vibeke had posted a Pay It Forward and I was lucky enough to sign up in time!

I love these.

So I am going to play along!

For the first 3 people that respond I will send a little something to

and all I ask is that you Pay It Forward!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

...

By the way, I am looking for a good hat like this that will fit my head with my hair...

I used to have a really small head, but now with my hair the way it is, it is much harder to find a well fitting hat!

little owl wants to pay it forward!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have some new little hoots for sale in my

etsy shop!

They would make great Valentine's gifts and are under $20!!!

Feel free to tell your friends!

(And they are welcome to tell their friends to, he he he...)

Okey-Doke... Now on with the real Post!

So, here's the deal...

I was checking out the lovely Lola Nova's blog,

and I saw that she was doing this thing called 'pay it forward'.

I LOVE these kind of things, so I am delighted to participate!

When I was little I used to make things and put together kits of whatnots and doodads and send them to my friends...

I am not sure my friends thought that they were as fun and wonderful as I did,

but I loved doing it just the same...

So I am very happy to announce,

its time to PAY IT FORWARD!

How it works;

* I will make a little handmade Little Owl-kinda-like something for the first 3 people who comment on this post who would like to play along.

* I have a year (365 days) to complete my mission and send off the goodies! That should be enough time.

* There is no telling what those things might be, or when they will show up in the post, it's a mystery.

Details, or the fine print;

Since this is ‘Pay It Forward’. You, my dears, must do as I have done and post a similar blog entry yourself, hence Paying the handmade bloggy goodness Forward and keeping the meme, and the fun, going.

Would you like to join in? Of course you do. You have an entire year to make whatever you want, it can be something small or tall or short and stout, even something round. And you will receive something made by me! Ooh, the possibilities!

I am so excited...
