Pay It Forward Contest

DSC_0202 copy 2 I think it’s time for a fun Pay It Forward post in which two winners will receive a sweet little prize that will come in the mail. All that’s required is that you have to be willing to Pay It Forward.

I saw this post at my city friend, Daryl’s site and decided that I’d like to play. And today, my reward came in the mail.

I love tea and candles.  My gift included a box of Good Earth spicy tea, a candle from Illume, a cool Rume tote and a beautiful card that I think I’m going to put in a little frame because it’s so cool.

Here’s how to play: I’m going to take the commenters from this post and run a random integer to select two of them. Those two winners have to be willing to Pay It Forward by doing the same on their site.

DSC_0200 copy 2So, you see, you’d have to have a site or a blog to play. Apologies to all those who don’t have a blog but a heads up that I’ll be holding a regular giveaway soon to celebrate the start of of summer. Cheers!

As you read this, I’ll hopefully be meeting 3 blogging friends for the first time. I’m sort of nervous and excited because for one, we’re meeting in the Big City. I mean THE Big City. And for another, I’m just afraid that the ‘persona’ of me won’t live up to their expectations. But frankly, my dear, I also don’t give a damn. Love my dog, love me. That’s what I always say.

Not really. I’ve never said that in my life. But I’ve never done something like this either!

So play! Leave a comment and be willing to pass on the love. You just may win a cool prize.

Love,

I'll bite. I won your contest last so you might not want me to be eligible. If not, that's OK. It's such a fun way to spread the love!

I'll play! I would love to pay it forward too. Have fun in the big city! I will most likely meet a fellow blogger for the first time next weekend and I'm already nervous that I won't live up to expectations... isn't that just human nature? Or for me it is. :) I'm sure you will have a fabulous time!!
