Pay it forward

While checking my blog today I came across this on Felicity's blog

[Pay it forward for creative people]: I promise to send something handmade to the first five people who leave a comment on this post. They must in turn, promise to post this and send something they made to the first five people to reply. It must be sent sometime in 2011. It can be anything you have made... from jewellery, sewing, cards ...it all counts.

Wonder who it will be?

Will you be one of the first five to reply
