Let's Pay It Forward...are you game?

Karyn of FRENCH CHARMING is making me a treasure!

I get to do the same for five new friends.
She found this wonderful way to pay it forward through Angelpea at keeping the faith.
I will send the first five people who respond to this post a little treasure.
It will be made with love, that I can promise.
It will be just for you from me.
I am willing to send my package overseas (I am in Canada), but remember, you must commit on your blog to do the same for 5 others.
I make no guarantees that you will like what I send you, but you may be pleasantly surprised.
It will definitely be hand crafted.
What I send will be just for you, with love, by my own hands.
I will complete all 5 gifts this year - 2009
I will not give you any clue what it is going to be, it will be something made in this world, something that you can touch and feel, and not something cyber.
In return all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 people that respond to your blog post.
Please leave me your email so I can contact you and get your mailing address.
Everyone is welcome and it doesn't matter what you hand craft.
I guarantee that you will receive something from me providing you do the same for 5 other people in your blog post.
If you would like to join in and 5 people have already agreed to participate on my blog, go stalk the blogs of the first 5 who responded until they post their Pay It Forward and get on their list.
I am thinking how much fun this will be!
I have never done anything like this before so I thought.. Why Not?
Remember you have tell the end of this year to make the treasure!
I have some great ideas of what I want to make
and it will be all packaged up beautifully
i promise

Are you willing to Pay IT Forward?
come on
please...please!
