Thank You Jace!


Today I got a bundle of joy in the mail box, my pay it forward parcel from Jace, and I am thrilled, she has been so generous and everything is delightful. Jace has a blog here you can visit it via my blog roll, or www.jacemakes.blogspot.com and please, please, visit her wonderful store on etsy www.jacemakes.etsy.com where she sells the most gorgeous handmade items.

I received two of her handmade origami book corners, as seen above (sorry about the dodgy photo!) these are used as bookmarks and are one of the standard stock items in Jace's store.

I also received this gorgeous bag charm, wonderful, such perfect work, these and mobile phone charms are also in Jace's Etsy store, and can be viewed on her blog. I have never had a bag charm, so the hardest and most fun part was deciding which bag the charm should be attached to, of course it is easy to swap, but I picked my favourite large plum coloured bag.


The bag charm is hand crocheted and beaded with the utmost care and attention, and is just a joy to behold.



I really recommend visiting Jace at her blog and her store, and I hope you will, by the way Jace is also beginning to make ATCs and they are going to go like hot cakes I just know.
Thanks Jace, you have made this a wonderful day, and I will think of you every time I see my beautiful bag charm, and use the book corners. And thanks for the bonus craft supplies, I will show you some of the finished products when they are done, I am burning to create with them already!

Pay It Forward Craft Style


First of all, I cannot take credit for this idea, it came from Ang at Sunny Day Boredom's Blog and if you hurry you might be one of her first 5 too!



The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.


This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:


1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!


2- What I create will be just for you.


3- It will be done this year. (that's right, before December 31, 2009!)


4- You have no clue what it's going to be.That's what makes it so exciting right?


The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and make the same offer to the first 5 people who respond on your blog entry, thereby continuing the fun! (Though you can keep it local if you want, I don't fear international postage!)


So please come and join in the worldwide fun of pay-it-forward. Anyone anywhere is welcome to leave a comment on this post but only the first 5 to do so will get something handmade by me.Let's have some fun!
