pass it on

March 20, 2012 By Linda 13 Comments

When Karah at the space between asked if I wanted to be part of this …

it all started with paint

… along with Thistlewood Farm, Eclectically Vintage, and The Cottage Market …

… I jumped at the chance.  It sounded like such a great idea.  A blogger-to-blogger outreach.  I would make a handmade gift and send it off to other bloggers.  And they could keep that gift … or pass it on.  And then, if they wanted to keep this going, would in turn reach out to even more bloggers with their own handmade gifts …

… and so on and so on …

Then I had the brilliant idea that I was going to make two of each gift for each blogger.  One for them to keep.  And one for them to pass on … to a friend, or family member, or someone in need of a pick-me-up.

Yeah, that brilliant idea finds me elbow deep in drop cloth with no end in sight.

Now, if you’re curious about the gift I’m making, you’ll need to go here …

Adventures Of Our Fami-Ly

… where I’m substitute teaching …

Adventures of Our Fam-Ly

… and my tutorial is about the gift that I’m making.

Now Sarah is a fellow Chicagoan.  And she arranged for some of us local bloggers to meet and eat a few months ago …

… and I think I may have scared her a bit.  I’m a tad (okay, very) intense and excitable when I meet fellow bloggers …

But Sarah is just as nice and sweet as you would image her to be …

And while you’re at Adventures of our Fami-Ly, be sure to check out Sarah’s cool projects and tutorials and tasty recipes (just click on the picture to be taken to the post) …

Meanwhile, I’ll be home slaving away over the sewing machine so I can get those pillows out to Sarah (yes, Sarah is an intended recipient), as well as …

    I am not worthy, and if anyone was ever going to give me a gift I would appreciate it would be something sewn since I do not possess that talent. Remember to put instructions in the package as I need to be reassured I’ll be doing the pass on right. You’re the bomb!
