Paying the Piper

Yes, all the heady giddiness at the prospect of getting hand made things from others is almost gone, but I still have something left to fulfill my half of the bargain. So here goes!

---- ATTENTION SHOPPERS ----

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me!

My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It’ll be done this year. {translation: you may be waiting a little while}
4. You have no clue what it’s going to be … it may be cards, a poem, a bookmark, something yummy or a complete surprise to you (and me!) … who knows? not you, that’s for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
6. Most importantly, you must offer the same deal on your blog - the first 5 people to comment on your blog (or if you do not have a blog, facebook) get something made by YOU!

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me …

---- THANK YOU ----

OK, I also have to share a picture of MaryP and her best friend for those that may not jump on this First Five band wagon.

MaryP is learning a lot of new things right now. Among other things she is putting things away, saying many more words, building rudimentary block towers, climbing more than ever, and showing love to most everybody she meets. We were waiting to be seated in Olive Garden the other day, and she saw a girl that was probably 3 years old. She just walked up to her and gave her the biggest, gentlest hug. Then she did it again about 3 minutes later, as well as hugging the girl's little brother. She is very good about showing love to others and being gentle (most of the time). She is a real cutie pie. I'm glad she has friends to play with and that she enjoys being with them.

The pictures of MaryP is so super cute! Wow, that one of her hugging is the best! So fun!

Oooh! Ooooh! I'm a winner! I'm a winner! I hope it'll be something awesome, like Agnes. Though I don't expect you to make a hand made, inflatable pool dragon.

Did I win?
Something?

Oh. I actually have to do something to win it. Hmm...
At least this is one pass-it-along things that gives you a real benefit (instead of some of those dumb mass emails that tell you you'll be magically blessed or cursed unless you do as they say).

Hey! Can I count as 5.1??

Mary P is so sweet. It sounds like she is all ready for her new sibling. Hopefully she won't forget how to be loving and gentle by then. I love to see her pictures. She is so cute. Thanks for posting it Wood.
