Pay it Forward Cont.

After a long day yesterday I got home to find a package waiting for me - all the way from America! Isn't it amazing how I knew of nobody in America before I started my blog and now I'm getting parcels from there! Yeay!

Heres my little surprise that I received from Erin as part of Pay it Forward - I love the cards (I do have a fondness for the letter R) and the little note, thanks Erin!!

Also Pay it Forward has gone from me to Fancy Schmancy to Countrygirl/Citygirl - absolutely amazing!

p.s. I also love all Erin's matching labels and lovely handwriting - its all in the details :)

Pay it Forward

As I mentioned last week, Erin from Perfect Sentiment did a post about Paying it Forward. When I first read the post I had a serious think about commenting on it - could I pay it forward? Would I do it on my blog? What could I do? Then I just did it - I ignored all the reasons not too (lack of ideas for one) and decided that I wanted to do something nice for other people - I wanted to pay it forward and I wanted to do it on my blog!
Once I had hit return I realised the comments were moderated and that the chance of me being in the top 3 was quite low... after all that agonising. So it was a bit of a shock when I heard from Erin, a good shock though. All this week I have been thinking (and so has boyfriend) about what to do and we've finally figured it out... so here are the rules:

The first three people who leave a comment on this post will receive a little surprise from me (and boyfriend!) The only catch is that you have to pay it forward to three more people. You don't have to have a blog to do this, just promise to keep it going by surprising three more people however you'd like.

How exciting! :)

(I'll probably do other things outside of my blog too - its fun to surprise people!)

Things I've learnt from blogs this week...

Yeay its Friday, I'm super excited about the weekend as Boyfriend's Parents are here and its going to be lovely. I hope everyone else has a lovely weekend as well :)

  1. I know this has been bouncing around for a while but I really think that I need some Japanese masking tape... or any coloured tape... I love!
  2. I'm seriously considering having a black painted bathroom, we stayed in a hotel in London last year which had black tiles and it was almost as lovely as this - not sure boyfriend will agree though...
  3. Postits and notes never let me down and this sliced bread notebook is amazing!
  4. I wish I had this wardrobe and could draw as well - I love the yellow hat and shoes.
  5. I really hope I find my happy place one day. That would be brillant!

p.s. Erin from Perfect Sentiment is paying it forward to me which I'm very excited about... I'll sort something out for it next week once I've decided on something to pass on... any suggestions as my mind is completely blank at the moment?
