I saw this on a friend's Blog, so I thought it would be fun to take part. I have done Pay It Forwards before and it was a blessing to me! This is a Handmade Pay It Forward!
Here’s how it works:
How does it work?
- First, announce this in a post on my blog!
- Commit to making 3 handmade items and ship to 3 special readers.
- There is NO $ amount–It’s the personal time and love that make the difference!
- The 1st 3 commentators who agree to also “Pay it Forward” will receive a Handmade gift in the mail from me.
- I have 365 days to make/ship my handmade goodie! (Although I promise it will be most likely much sooner!)
- The 3 commentators then post this challenge on their blog and we keep the “Pay it Forward” blessing going and going and going!
Be Blessed!

Being from Canada, we have already celebrated our Thanksgiving. This year was rather "tough" as it was our first Thanksgiving without my Dad being here. He passed away in July.
One thing I am thankful for is the fact that I was brought up in a Christian home for the majority of my life. My Dad loved the Lord with his very being. What an example he was to me. Dad was very concerned over the fact that none of his brothers and sisters knew the Lord as their Lord and Saviour. He witnessed to them faithfully. Even though I don't believe any of them ever accepted Christ, I will always remember how my father prayed faithfully for his siblings.
So, even though my "Thanksgiving Day" has come and gone, I am thankful for my Father ~ the best Dad in the whole world!
