Blog Candy Time


Last week I stopped by Michael's because I had a 50% off coupon that was burning a hole in my pocket. I've been looking for the Fiskers treading water punch and had not been able to find it. Well, bingo, I found it and they had more than one. I decided to pick up an extra and put on here for someone to win.
Okay, here's the catch. Before you leave a comment, do something nice for someone,
something that you normally wouldn't do. Maybe say a cheery good morning to someone on the elevator, tell someone at work who you rarely speak to that they look nice today. That guy that just let you cut in front of him at the toll booth, go ahead and pay the $1 for his toll. That little kid in the store that is 5 cents short of being able to buy the candy bar, go ahead give it to him. You get the idea. Just do domething to make this world a nicer place and put a smile on someone's face if even for a split second. You don't need to tell me what you did. Just leave a comment and I will draw for a winner Sunday afternoon. Good luck everyone!

AND THE WINNER IS SUSIEQ, SWEETBABE2853. CONGRATS ! PLEASE EMAIL YOUR ADDRESSS. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO PARTICIPATED.

  1. What a great way to 'pay it forward' I love to ask people to do a kind deed ever since that same request was made by my mom to all the participants at my brothers funeral some 30 years ago, and there were hundreds. I often think if they each did one kind deed how that changed the world !

  5. What a wonderful idea, Kathy. This is a winner idea...and I hope we all can do something. I played it forward this AM when I took Heidi to the vet for her yearly shots, and I took 6 Paper Pups cards for the vet to send to some of his dog's parents. He was so thrilled like I had given him a milliion bucks but he doesn't know we card makers, does he. Little did he know that I sooooo enjoyed making those cards.

  6. A friend at work lost her inside cat. Finally some neighbors helped her get the cat back unharmed.
    At work she muttered that she should send them a thank you.
    The next day I left two thank yous on her desk.
    The cards had a cat sitting on a rug with THANKS on the front. Inside it said,"for helping me get back home."
    I finally got to use some of the PET STACK that I bought a while back.
    It was fun, she was thrilled and it made me feel good.
    Thanks to you Kathy for this great idea.

  12. That is really sweet of you to do this! I love paying it forward. It make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Everyone should do something out of the ordinary and special for someone every week. It's a great feeling.

  13. I love the fact that you've asked people to do nice things for others. I remember I always wanted to pay the toll for someone on the bridge; well, I did it finally and it felt sooo good. I'm sure the guy probably thought the world was going to end! You don't see RAKS like that in the SF Bay Area much. Thanks for your generosity!

  20. I love your CD birthday card- something I will have to try. I also love the idea of doing something nice for someone, something I am trying to teach my 5 boys. If you do nice things, you will be rewarded.
    Thanks!
