give oh give away!

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it would be really fun to have a reason to make something for some friends. So I commented on her blog and reposted the info here (after editing it because Random capitals BUG Me, as, does, improper punctuation?). Good luck to all who read! I'm excited to get crafty! (Obviously copious exclamation points do not bug me!)

The Rules

1. Be one of the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post. This will entitle you to a handmade item from me.

2. If you win, you must post this on your blog, which means that you commit to pay it forward, creating a handmade gift for the first 3 people who leave a comment on your post about this giveaway.

3. The gift that you send to your three friends can be from any price range, and you have 365 days to make and ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And remember, it’s the spirit and the thought that count!

4. When you receive your gift, please feel free to blog about it. If you are not one of the first 3 to comment on this post, you can still play along. (And I encourage you to.) Post the rules on your blog, start your own pay it forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same!

Also, I will need your address if you are one of the first 3 to comment. I'm super excited to see who plays along.

Edited to add: Don't be scared by the number of comments. There is actually only one "winner" at the moment. We're still waiting for lucky peoples two and three!
