Pay It Forward Giveaway

The other day as I was heading into a store the person in front of me took the time to hold the door for me.  Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but you see I wasn't in the "zone".  Do you know what I mean?  I was still far enough back that the person could have easily let the door go.  The fact that they took the time to wait made my day.

So I thought it would be nice to have a Pay-It-Forward initiative to show some love to one another.  Originally, I was going to have the first 3 people who leave a comment on this post be the recipients, but that wouldn't be right.  It's not a race.  Like many other bloggers, I work full-time and don't have the luxury of viewing blogs on a whim.

To make things fair, I will randomly select 3 people on Sunday, March 2, 2014 so please leave your comment by Saturday, March 1st.

The 3 winners will receive a "surprise" gift from me during the month of March.  It could be a crafting item, trinket, gift card, something new or something vintage.  Let's just say we will keep it interesting.  I will try to give you something I believe will make you happy.  Keep in mind the winners will need to email me their mailing address.

All I ask of the 3 winners is that they do something nice for someone else.  It can be as simple as holding the door open for someone, leaving a note with a piece of candy on a co-workers desk, treating an acquaintance to a cup of tea or coffee - whatever you can do to show some kindness and make someone smile.

I'm hoping 2014 will be a more enjoyable, friendlier and love filled year!  If you are interested follow Donna's Designs and leave a comment on this post and let the smiles begin  :-) 

Vee's Notecard Party - Feb.

Welcome to my 'notecards' for Vee's Notecard party.  On the third Wednesday of each month Vee has a meme where you select four photographs from your blog that are notecard worthy.  With all the snow we have received lately, I have selected a series of winter scenes.

The snow doesn't stop this little Junco birdie from dropping by!

Bright berries stand out against the snowy white background.

Here's the box cover for my February notecards.

Please stop by A Haven for Vee to visit photos by the other participants.  I'm also linking with Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.

Sending warm winter wishes to each of you!
