PIF,Awards and Honeymoon's

I still can't show you any of my Christmas stitching, as there are eyes watching...... but I can tell you about the next round of PIF. If you know me well, you'll know I adore anything that Stina makes, and when she said she was doing another round of the Pay It Forward, I just couldn't miss out on one of her beautiful creations. So of course that means another round of PIF for me.

The Rules

It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on the blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

Yes you read correctly, a honeymoon. My DH and I have been married almost five years and have still not yet had a honeymoon. That is about to change. The photo above is where we will be spending Christmas and a few extra days this year, on our honeymoon. We are both looking forward to a break away from the regular day to day commitments, and the opportunity to spend uninterrupted quality time together with one another. Of course it never hurts that it's also a wonderful shopping town...... I'm told that there are plenty of quilt stores to keep me happy for a few hours, but most of all I'm looking forward to just having us time, with no cooking or cleaning.

Lisa awarded me with the Kreativ Blogger award the other day, thank you Lisa.
Here are the rules...
1. Place the logo on your blog
2. Link back to the person who nominated you
3. Nominate 5 people and link back to their blog
4. Leave a message on the nominee's blog

You'll know I find these type of awards hard to pass on, only because I'd hate to miss someone out or hurt anyone's feeling by not including them. So if I visit your blog regularly and leave a comment, then please consider yourself nominated.

Happy Stitching.

Oh Linda, I'm so excited about you and your husband getting away. Congratulations.
Now for the sad part, I'm stomping my feet and having a little pity party I missed your PIF. Maybe next round.
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
Bonnie

Karen said...

Hi Linda..sounds like you're in for a great honeymoon. I've heard that Branson is a blast. By my count, only 2 have asked to be included in the pif...if so, I would love to be the third. Please let me know.

What a wise solution for this unloved award! I hate to hurt anyone. Yet I chose a rude way out. When I did, I got so many "I don't like it either"-votes!
