Pay it Forward & Awards

One day I visited Monica's blog, I red about a Pay it forward exchange... I signed up immediately - just because I like to make others happy ;)



Shortly about PIF:
The whole thing started with the movie "Pay it forward". The rolemodel of Haley Joel Osment, gives a great deed to another person. The only attach to the one who recives it, is that he/her has to promise to give something that matters to others. A simple demand, that may not be as simple that it sounds? Someone has now taken this principle further, and made it into a gift. The rules are simple - everyone can join, and only 3 rules have to be fulfilled:
1. You must have your own blog, so that you can spread the message.
2. You must like to make others happy.
3. You must ship your 3 gifts within the next 365 days.

I've already given away two gifts - A thank you gift for Kirsten, and a surprise birthday gift for Kim. The third is a surprise birthday gift for a great blogging friend - Ida!

Rules for this award:
1. Copy and paste this award into your blog.
2. Link to the one who gave it to you.
3. Give the award to someone you like, and make a link to them.
4. Make a message to them, about the given award.

I'll give this award to Ida.
