If I'm to make one tag, I'll make everyone 2. Or if it's a winter theme, I'll throw in some extra winter stuff that I think everyone will enjoy. I admit that I'm a very frugal person so it was hard at first but now it's part of my routine. And it's fun now!

Anyway, at just after 4 pm, she called to say she locked herself out of her car with it running?!? So, since I was one of those people entrusted with a key, I packed the two kids in the car (during the scariest part of the day), went to her house and retrieved her extra set and brought them to the local A&W. I bribed my kids into some quasi-good behavior with french fries since it was dinner time by then!<BR/><BR/>Plus, I took my niece up to the local college this past Monday after she failed to send her check certifying her spot at the school. I figured if I went up there, I could explain the situation and smooth things over. They were super nice and let her in (thank gawd) and then spent the next hour helping her with registration, student aid and course selection. So, my pay it forward was not vital to the situation since they were so gracious about it but my niece (who is a little naive) appreciated my support (and her uncle's who had to come home early to watch our kids!).<BR/><BR/>I saw a scene of a nice little pay it forward too...my son's preschool is in a rec center. There is a homeless man who regularly comes through and sits at the snack bar. He is very polite and deferential to all and the woman who works there always makes him some toast, coffee or fries when he pops by (and she always makes them fresh as if he were any other customer)...I was happy to see this in a town that is booming and where homeless people are regularly viewed as a nuisance.Allison Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709725791930196158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917186313370241936.post-1687969322633530712007-03-21T18:08:00.000-04:002007-03-21T18:08:00.000-04:00Hmmmmmm....this contest isn't taking off, is it?

You can see/read it here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=508292<BR/><BR/><BR/>To sum it up, the gift set is fairy themed...There is a fairy card, fairy note book to draw her dreams which in turn might come true, a flower pen "made" by a read fairy, fairy slippers to help her feel better, a bell with fairy magic...that she can ring when she needs help or is lonely. (She will be in bed for a week.) But the note admonished her not to use the bell too often or it would stop working! (I didn't want my neighbor to go crazy with bell rining!) That's my lateset.dawnmercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144496853296433809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917186313370241936.post-87494264804710400722007-03-14T19:44:00.000-04:002007-03-14T19:44:00.000-04:00Here's my latest pay it forward...I have been baby...Here's my latest pay it forward...<BR/><BR/>I have been baby sitting for a neighbor down the street who has a not quite 2 year old. She has been going to her church to set up their books and needs someone to watch her DD. I can tell she is hesitant to ask me time and time again. But I remember when I was the mother with young children and needed someone to ask to watch them once in a while. It was hard to figure out who could or would baby sit. And I always felt like there would be one or 2 who seemed to watch my kids but never needed me to watch their kids. (Is this making sense?) So I agree to watch my neighbor's DD and I remember all those who helped me out in the past!dawnmercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144496853296433809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917186313370241936.post-81144974210225204972007-03-11T09:28:00.000-04:002007-03-11T09:28:00.000-04:00I just wanted to say that this is an awesome idea ...I just wanted to say that this is an awesome idea for a contest!! I am so blessed from the people around me that i try to pay it forward as often as I can. My most recent being sending my 13 year old niece a big box of paper, stamped images, hardware, letter stamps, and flowers. I love being able to pass on things that I can't or don't use anymore that I know others would thoroughly enjoy! And plus, unexpected mail gives you one of the best feelings ever!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597481858578817653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917186313370241936.post-18655316382403303302007-03-09T23:39:00.000-05:002007-03-09T23:39:00.000-05:00Can a compliment be a "PIF?"Tonight, I took my 6 y...Can a compliment be a "PIF?"<BR/><BR/>Tonight, I took my 6 year old DD to Wendy's for a late night snack, just her and me. She saw a teenage couple come in, and the boy switched places with the girl...just b/c she wanted the bench and not the chair. <BR/><BR/>When DD mentioned it to me, I explained that the guy was being a gentlemen. And that opened up a discussion of what she should look for in someone she dated. <BR/><BR/>So, when we left, I went to his table and thanked him for setting a good example. (He was sitting so close I know he overheard me telling her about what it means to be a gentelman.)<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, this is just a small, small Pay It Forward...dawnmercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144496853296433809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917186313370241936.post-80106553658641585472007-03-08T22:36:00.000-05:002007-03-08T22:36:00.000-05:00This is fabuous!Thank you for coming to my blog an...This is fabuous!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for coming to my blog and commenting - you can count me in for the "contest" and I'll post a link to the post on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Now, I have to start paying attention and listening so that I can come up with a great "Pay It Forward" deed.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917186313370241936.post-42370730136051778102007-03-08T20:22:00.000-05:002007-03-08T20:22:00.000-05:00I had a pay it forward contest for blog candy on m...I had a pay it forward contest for blog candy on my blog a couple of weeks ago.
