the gifting meme
I received this little pick me up today, it made my day and I am about to share the love…without a glove!
Some time back my buddy Roxanne posted that she had been sent a package from a blog friend and the whole idea was to pay it forward. Rox asked for three volunteers to whom she would send a similar goodie bag and those three friends will send prezzies to three more friends and so on and so on. I was one of her three and now that my package has arrived it is time for me to send some on to three of my peeps.
My lovely packet included a crafty little keychain with my name on it (in case I forget my name), some gum(because she cares about my breath), A photo of Jann Arden signing toilet paper (because she knows I love that…Jann and TP), a datebook (with her birthday vividly marked), a mesh bag for my unmentionables (but they aren’t worth mentioning), some tinsel (in case I need to feel sparkly I guess) and an Aero chocolate bar to be opened in case of emergency (it’s gone now). I have to admit my favorite part of the whole pack was her post-it-notes…they depict a woman from the fifties (ish) in a bathing suit with the caption “do I look like I give a rat’s ass?”
Thanks Rox, this was awesome!!
Now it’s my turn to pass it on, I fully intend to ship some fabulous gifts and surprises and I will do so to the first three people who want in and promise that they will pay it forward on their own blog once their package arrives. It’s like a Christmas meme in June. This isn’t about spending a lot of money or buying big gifts, it’s about having some fun and sending a little something and a smile to a blog friend and spreading the love around in a completely disease free way.
The first three interested commenters will be in for a real treat…and I will need your mailing addresses so email them to me at benthere@gmail.com

Woohoo! I’m glad it got there! Isn’t my Jann Arden TP the Best?! I’m glad my sister took pictures of that. The TP is in my craft room.
I was going to burn you a disc but I figured the only music you probably didn’t already have was my Gregorian Chants, and not everyone is into that shizzle! LOL!
I’ve been sitting on those “Rat’s Ass” Post-its for just this kind of occasion! I’m glad you liked them!

That’s so rad! I’d love to join in, but this mama is moving soon, so wouldn’t want to get stuff lost in the mail, like to happen whenever I move. Darn Mailmen are easy to confuse. Perhaps one of your people will be one of my people, and I’ll then join in when they receive theirs.

I’m probably too late, but I’ll still participate anyway and send it to someone. This was a great idea.
