Thank You Haworth Handmade



I have been a little behind in my blog reading due to Easter break and the bunny and eggs and all, and finally got a few moments to catch up on the blogosphere. I was a few weeks past due so you can imagine my surprise when I opened one of my favorite blogs to read called

Under Construction and found out that I was one of the winners of her Pay-It-Forward Contest. It is written by the ever-so-talented seamstress and woodworking extraordinaire, Melissa Haworth. Also a Craft Mafia sister of mine. I was so behind in my reading that she had posted it before Easter and I had not yet seen it. So I am so excited to get a little package in the mail from her. I love reading Melissa's blog because: 1) I can totally relate to her when she tells of her toddler tales with Biscuit 2) She sells such cool stuff and is a totally talented woodworker, seamstress and crafter (as mentioned above.) 3) Her tutorials rock! - She has done two just recently on using a rotary cutter properly (which I haven't been) and one on how to make a log cabin quilt square. Both were super informative for those of us who have never made a quilt but long to be a fabulous quilter. So thanks Melissa.

So the Pay-It-Forward contest is now going to be paid forward. Please leave a comment on this post about how you would pay it forward if you were given $1,000.00, and I will draw three commenter's names out of hat on April 6 for a special surprise from Pink Petunia Designs. The only request is that you pay-it-forward to three more individuals. It can be big or small. Whatever you can do. So comment away!

You're too kind ;) I know I'm not eligible but if I had $1000 I'd probably put it in savings (I'm boring like that). If I had to spend it on toys I'd buy a serger and probably some clothes.

If I had $1000 and had to pay it forward then I would take my sister and her foster kids on a nice trip, as nice as the $1000 would get us!

if I had $1000 there are so many people I would want to help... I'd probably choose to enlist the help of others and put together a dinner for the abused women and children's shelter out here- I've been wanting to do something for so long to help them out, they deserve a nice night to enjoy themselves and share their stories. And of course we would go shopping for them- new clothes, new toys, and the necessities they never have enough of. I would want them to feel loved and special and know that they have other people out there they can lean on and count on to hold them up.

Being a children's librarian on a limited budget, I would probably spend it on upcoming our summer reading kickoff party (entertainment, raffle prizes, ice cream). I would also want to give some to the neighborhood park that they're hoping to finish building by the end of this summer.

Paying it forward...if I was given $1,000 to give to anyone, I would go to the nearest food kitchen and give half to them for expenses. Then I would go to a privately owned animal shelter that rescues cats and/or dogs and give the other half to them for food, shots, medicines, etc..Giving is really where it's at, and I've seen a lot of generosity in this world.
