Today I wrote an article at Examiner about Etsy PIF listings. PIF stands for "Pay It Forward." These listings are nearly free, with the stipulation that you do something nice for someone else. (The article also includes a slideshow of some of the coolest PIF listings I found!)
That got me thinking... How awesome would it be to start a PIF tree? Kind of like a chain letter, but way better! So... I am!!
The first five people to do the following will get a grab bag full of random craft supplies - as much as I can fit into a flat rate shipping box, and I am good at packing things!
- Choose five items of your own to give away. It can be handmade items, craft supplies, knick-knacks from around the house, whatever you want to give away.
- Write a post on your own blog offering those five items to people who do the same.
- Come back here and leave a comment with your e-mail address and a link to your PIF blog post.
*** In order to win, you must include the link to your own PIF post! ***

Sorry there are no pictures, our camera batteries are beyond dead..... but the cards are completely handcrafted, even the envelopes and they can be sent out as is for reusing, or sent directly to the recipient. Hope I've done this all properly! Just waiting now for people to sign up for one! Cards will be sent out 24th of this month when my disability comes in.
