Handmade fun- a challenge!

Susan at e-i-e-i-omg! has gotten herself into a challenge, and she has roped others into this craziness as well.   Of course I fell victim... er... volunteered.  Because it sounds like fun in some twisted definition of the word.   So, here goes....

I will send a handmade (by me!) gift to each of the first 5 commenters on this post.  This can be something large or small, my choice.  But,  there is a catch... of course, you knew there would be a catch!  The catch is that each recipient of my gift must also pass it on and give 5 gifts themselves... and so on and so forth for all eternity... or until people get burned out.
There is a year to get your gifts sent out, so I'll have a year to concoct something- until December 2012.  Who knows what you may receive from me: pot holders, placemats, soap, biscotti, a jar of jam... there are so many possibilities.

So, anybody out there want to play along?? Let's hear it for the 2012 Handmade Pay it Forward Challenge!

  1. You got me! Sounds like a BLAST! And it will get me back into some of the things I do for fun! I already made the Challenge (just now!) on my Blog.
    So will you be the first for me?

    1. I already signed up on Susan's blog. If I re-up on yours, does that mean I need to send out 5 more?

      RULES POLICE, PLEASE ADVISE???

  2. I was wondering about the "rules"....there are several blogs that I follow that will be doing this (including ME) and not sure how that works now. I would "THINK" that you'd have to send out five PER challenge accepted as if you accepted ten other blogger's challenges and you only sent out five gifts yourself, it wouldn't seem very fair then....and not really "paying it forward" at that point. That's just my thoughts though....anybody else?? OH, and since I already signed up for Susan's eiei-omg challenge, I'm going to have to decline this one on your blog...although I'm very tempted to because I LOVE homemade / handmade stuff!

  3. Yay! I already know what I will give! What an awesome idea. As for the rules, I would suppose that for every gift you get, you send five. I LOVE homemade stuff too!

  5. Good Question, As far as I can tell, you can put up the challenge as many times as you would like, knowing that you will have to send 5 gifts for each challenge. So, One challenge....5 gifts, 10 challenge's.....50 gifts! Do the math Baby!

    1. I'll tag you if I can manage to get my original 5 takers. People seem to be chicken about signing up.

  7. I posted the Challenge early yesterday morning, and still no takers! Your right! Chicken People abound in the Blog-a-sphere! We need to light a fire under them! Maybe we need to talk to SUSAN?
