This morning in the Blogland I came across Pay It Forward Art-making Project for 2014. I am so ready for fun and playing. These are the rules:
I promise to make a small work of art for the first five people who comment on this post and say “YES, I want in”. A ‘like’ alone is not enough of a commitment, nor is a comment about thinking Pay It Forward is a great idea. You must in turn post this as your status update and make something for the first five who comment on your status. The rules are simple: – It has to be your work, made by you, and the recipient must receive it before 2014 ends. – It can be anything art-based: a drawing/illustration or a conceptual work of art, a photograph, a knitted item, cross-stitch, paper maché – or anything in between. I’m paying this forward thanks to Deborah WeberFirst five, GO!
PS. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t an artist, try something out, Google/ YouTube how to make stuff, step out of those boundaries.
So long my friends,
Evalina
I hope that life will get easier for you now that you have sorted out what you were going through. This new project seems to be the perfect thing to cheer you up. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletePlease, don't count me in, I have already too much on my plate. And besides this, I always get trouble with our customs office when receiveing something from overseas.
Thank you Brigitte. My life got easier already, thanks to blogging friends!
DeleteI am so sorry you have had such a hard time. I hope things get easier. Sounds like fun. I would like to take part but i just have so much on. Can you put me in reserve? If you dont get five take it up than count me in to make numbers, and if you do, well I look forwards to seeing what you all come up with xx
ReplyDeleteIf you like it, just do it ♥ We have 6 months to finish our little projects and it could be just anything. It could be a bookmark, a card, an ornament, just about anything made by you. Creative writing counts too!
DeleteCount me in then. You are absolutely right!!!
DeleteHi Evalina. Thank you so much for your comment-I'd pretty much forgotten about the Pay It Forward challenge but yes I'd be happy to add you to my list so consider me one of your 5 and we can pay it forward to each other! I'm sorry for whatever it was causing you such upset but I love your attitude to moving on from it. X
ReplyDeleteOh, my Lord - I'm playing double!! I am so excited and there is no room for sorrow left. Did I tell you that I love your blog and your art?
DeleteI'm much like you in that way, I can't dwell on things, I need to be moving forward and finding happiness in the small things. Recently I have found a lot of blogs that have inspired me and my creative bug is itching, so YES, I want in!
ReplyDeleteI'm so delighted to have you in the game!
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear you've been through such challenges, but I'm glad to hear you're finding your balance again and ready to make room for some creative fun. I'm so delighted you decided to play and found the challenge via my blog. I'll be visiting your mailbox when you least expect it. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweetheart! I'm so happy I visited your blog.
DeleteI hope life is treating you better and I would love to pay it forward too. I do enjoy making things for my friends in blog land and you can count me in. Lynda Ruth Jasmine_Ms.Button@hotmail.com. lots of hugs
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have you aboard ♥♥♥
DeleteEvalina dear ~ I am knee deep in a museum project, so I cannot now pay it forward, but what I can do is pray you
ReplyDeleteforward. Just wanted to pop in to say that thank Goodness your ordeal is nearing its end and hope your days will

DeleteSorry life has not been easy for you , hope things are now much better for you , hugs .
ReplyDeleteThank you June, all is good now.

ReplyDeleteLinda
Thank you Linda ♥
DeleteMy heart goes out to you. I truly hope that you are not haunted by unpleasant memories now, whatever that problem was. You are a good person who helps others. You, just like Madonna and other celebrities, will re-invent yourself and make a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteI have found that as I get older I unfortunately remember more of the mistakes I have made in life. I just tell myself that they are no longer happening, but it can be hard to find that personal strength and grit at times. Not whining but letting you know that you are not alone in dealing with Life's Hard Lessons. Hang on tight.
I shall not promise to take part in your Pay It Forward project this time, because I have to try really hard in my university studies. Mature age seems to make studying a bit (lot) more difficult. I shall promise though to make five somethings for five people not expecting anything from me. I will keep the spirit of Pay It Forward, and I am grateful that you reminded me to look outwards towards others.
Thank you Louise. There is nothing like the spirit of pay it forward.
DeleteOh my Evalina, I sure hope things are improving for you! I always look forward to reading your blog. My husband enjoyed the touring blog. We got to see places we may never get to visit! Please don't include me in pay it forward. Life is a little to busy right now and in the morning. we leave for the lake to spent 2 months Take care things can only get better from here on------right?
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome vacation!
DeleteMy dear thinking of you so much .. and sending you big hugs xx
ReplyDeleteIl y a un blog Francais qui m'a demander pour joue avec elle le méme que vous allez faire Marie-Claire
ReplyDeleteSo pleased things are getting better for you. I found your blog through the A-Z Challenge back in April this year and connected to your cross stitching and your memorial to ZoomZoom (all of us cat owners have a special cat who leaves a big hole in our hearts when they pass). I noticed you were not posting much recently but thought you had gone back to your stitch and stash projects. I would love to participate in the Pay it Forward Art Project and receive something from you if you have a space left for me? pempispalace@yahoo.co.uk
