Last month I managed to come across Tracy’s Pay it Forward post and jumped right in to be one of 3 recipients of a piece of artwork from Tracy.

In return I agreed to continue the Pay it Forward tradition as follows:

I will 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, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

When you leave your comment, please also do one of two things: leave your post address or e-mail it to me.

I will be making 3 small textile art pieces this weekend for the first 3 people that leave a comment requesting to receive the gift and are willing to continue the Pay it Forward tradition on their blog. My current thought is to make some 6" square pieces along the same lines as the above pieces but that’s just a thought, we’ll see what mode strikes me when I get to the studio.

This has got to be a record – 2 days in a row of blog meme type stuff. Now I can go back to ignoring these things for another year. Although this one I really like – not only will I receive a wonderful piece of art I also get to share my work with others.

 
Blog administration: I have setup hotlink protection on my blog – this has the potential to break the viewing of images in feed readers. If you read my feed from a feed reader and the past few weeks the images have disappeared please let me know and I’ll see what I can do to fix it for that reader. I fixed google reader this morning.

  1. Ooh, ooh – count me in!! I think this is one of the best things going around in the blog world right now, and I’m usually too late to people’s posts!

    On another note, your images don’t show up in bloglines either, but I always link over to your site to see them anyhow.

    Count me in. I look forward to receiving a piece of yours Lisa! I’ll post soon and join the gig.
    Best,
    Juanita

  3. I would love to have a piece of art from you (been wanting one every time I read your blog). And would love to pay it forward to someone else.

    Hi Lisa,

    What a great idea! I think it has been breaking the images in the feedblitz I get from you … if I am remembering correctly. If someone doesn’t pan out, I would pay it forward.

    Sometimes I get images in feedblitz, sometimes not – today there are none.

    I don’t have a blog but I do enjoy yours

  6. Carolyn says:

    Lisa,

    I have not been receiving the images for the past few weeks. However, I have found that if I hit the ‘view comments’ box, then the images come up with that screen.

    I really enjoy your photos and artwork.

  7. Liz Plummer says:

    Thanks, Lisa – that seems to have fixed the photos. I thought it might be something like that….

  8. cynthia says:

    Too slow – but I love the idea!

  9. Penny Gold says:

    Just confirming that the images are no longer coming up in bloglines.

    I too have to hit comments for the images to show up- I use the feedblitz too.
