it's a pretty awesome concept, much like pay it forward, but this is geared specifically towards the crafting community. i initially saw it posted on my friend's facebook status and thought it was neat but decided to pass it up. i kept seeing it and finally i said, why not?
the rules go something like this: the first five to comment on this status will receive a handmade gift from me before the end of the year. it has be to handmade so no buying a gift. if you comment on this status you then have to post it to your status and make a handmade gift for the first five people who comment on your status...
as you see, it can grow to be huge and so totally awesome!
anyway...i received my first craft it forward 2011 yesterday and all i can say is "WOW." my friend liz knits and she made the softest scarf, really cool fingerless gloves (which i have been dying for) and a handbag with a super cute contrast lining.
it's a bummer that it is getting a bit too warm for the scarf and gloves but it will be one reason to look forward to the winter months ahead. i'm still trying to figure out the perfect use for the purse...i'm too much of a klutz to use it as an everyday bag. any suggestions?
oh, and receiving this awesome gift totally makes me want to procrastinate on making/sending mine out. i don't think i can live up to her crafting skills...seriously though, i still look forward to the challenge and hearing what my friends think of their crafts they will receive.
did you participate in anything like this recently?
