It's the unexpected things .....

I posted on my other blog about unexpected things .............

Just recently, I received an unexpected request to become the Swap Co-ordinator for the Christmas Quilting Block Swap Australia group.  I was extremely honoured and had no hesitation in saying 'yes'.  

Crafty Pug has been the co-ordinator since the group's formation in October 2010 and has done an excellent job.  Crafty Pug recently posted on the Group Swap Blog saying she needed to step down   ..... 

'there are a few reasons for this, but the main ones are the ones tugging on my pant leg when i am typing :)'

Well, I had the pleasure of meeting those reasons when Crafty Pug and myself  met in real life recently to do the Blog Admin handover.  I must say, those reasons are adorable ;-)

I hope I can do a good job of being the new Swap Co-ordinator ......... I have some big shoes to fill ;-)

Official handover date will be 15th March - stay tuned ;-)

Pay It Forward - Registrations closed

I am participating in Pay It Forward for 2012 and have put my name down with SueB's to be her Pay It Forward recipient.

It is very exciting as some time in the next 12 months SueB must make and send me a surprise gift.  I don't know when I will receive this gift, or what it will be.  How exciting!

By registering with her means that I will have to Pay it forward to three recipients - a bit like a chain letter but a lot more fun  ;-)).


So who would like to be my three recipients?  

The first three fellow Bloggers to nominate will receive a small hand made gift from me within 12 months from registration.
EDITED:  REGISTRATIONS CLOSED


The timing of the gift will be a surprise, but I must do this within 12 months.


All you need to do is be one of the first people to comment on this post and you can nominate then you must agree to put a post on your blog to Pay It Forward.
