“I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”
This morning I read about this at Anne's Food and then managed to get in on the fun at Nikka's, who had a single gift left to give. As a consequence I will be giving away something homemade and kitchen related (preserves? a tea cozy? who knows!) to the first three bloggers who comment on this post. It doesn't matter where you are-- I'll ship to anywhere. As mentioned above, you must make the same promise on your own blog. I should also add that I have no idea when I'll be sending out gifts, just that I will do so within three months.
i´d love to receive a gift, but i think that isn´t really a good idea to send it to germany and due to custom regulations. but it´s a lovely idea.

I just don't think that I have time (or the skills) to participate, but I think the gift exchange is a very nice idea. Have fun with it (please make animal-shaped tea cozies. I once had this strange dream about Kitten Cozies (kitten-shaped cozies for teapots) and I've wanted to make them ever since. I have a strange and twisted unconscious mind. :)

Lisa, welcome to the meme.
Karyn, excuse me, but did you not tell me you used do still life food paintings? Sounds like a handmade gift to ME. Huh... kitten cozies, eh? I just dunno. :-)

Yeah, I know . . . but I'm not up to setting up an easel in the middle of my bed . . . the only possible place I have to paint right now. I promise, should I get a place to paint, I will paint many, many cute litte foodie still lives. Also, animals, because I'm not so bad at animal portraiture. Just out of practice. :)
