Paying It Forward

By Marceline | August 17, 2009

A while back, I was a winner of Katy’s Pay It Forward which means, of course, that I now have to do the same. Here are the details:

I am entering into a contract with the first 5 people who comment on this post and then commit to do the same on their blog. Just read below and if you feel up to the task, leave me a comment.  Anyone can enter, as long as you make stuff and have a blog.

1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make – whatcha get is whatcha get
2. What I create will be just for you, with love.
3. It’ll be done this year (2009)
4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not cyber
5. I reserve the right to do something strange or weird
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.

Okay, get to it! I already have an idea of what you’ll be getting and will definitely be cute!

EDIT: Okay, that’s my five. Let me know when you post your PIF on your blog and I’ll link you all. If you missed out on mine, then keep an eye on this lot :)
