Giving
January 31, 2013 in creativity, Free

There is nothing like giving of yourself to warm your heart. I have participated in Artist Trading card trades and always marvel at the creative generosity that comes my way and the excitement I get when I am sending out a gift to someone else. Today I would like to invite you to join me in a little creative challenge below which I am taking part in.
I look forward to creating artful gifts from my heArt to yours. It will be a surprise, something I make & send to the first 5 people who respond to this post. At some point during 2013 you will receive it, the only catch is that you also post the Creative Pay-It-Forward on your FB page or blog and offer to do the same for 5 people. So who’s up for some Creative Pay-It-Forward? Leave a message below if you are in!














Hello Petrea, what a lovely idea, and i just love atc swaps, something i join since mid december 2012. I especialy love the private trades because most of the time it is a big surprise what you receive, and i just love creating art on such a small canvas. I think it is the most wonderful thing to make someone happy and ofcourse yourself, sending some art even it is small. Just this afternoon i received some very lovely atc’s and that makes my day.
Hi Rita, it may be an ATC or something else, but sure to be a creative surprise from me to you if you are in. If you want to participate simply pay-it-forward the same way by following the instructions in the link above & please send me ([email protected]) your snail mail address so I know where to send your creative surprise- to be snt out sometime this year.
Oh I love playing this game! I diitit a few weeks ago to celebrate the new year. I would love to be a party of yours. Should I pay it forward on my blog or FB? Love and hugs to you Petrea ?
Lol that question mark shouldn’t be there!
Jade you can do either or both- it’s up to you, as long as you make the offer open to 5 people. Email me with your address Jade & expect a handmade suprise sometime this year ([email protected])
I want to play What are the details?
Hi Joy, great! Follow the link above for the details. Essentially you will be making the same offer to five people either on your blog or Facebook page. E-mail me ([email protected]) your snail mail address if you want to participate so that I can send you something I make sometime (it will be a surprise) in 2013.
I would love to play! I facilitate ATC workshops from time to time where we make cards together first & then trade them…this is a unique & interesting way to do it. TY
Hi Dara your ATC workshops sound like fun! Okay, so simply follow the link above for directions & send me your snail mail address. Easy peasy!

Oh well, I missed it by one, but I love your idea. I just stumbled upon your website through my facebook page. You “liked” my artplaytoday page (thank you!) and here I am now! Do you mind if I use this idea on my blog, even if I wasn’t one of the first five to post? Happy Valentine’s Day…I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog!
