Yesterday I was visiting my other blog and checked in with one of my favorite painters, http://worksbytracy.blogspot.com/ and she posted an intriquing idea.  The idea of Pay it Forward with our art!    Some of you may have seen this happening.

The concept goes as follows:

I will send a handmade gift (in my case I can specify that it WILL be a painting, probably a very small one, but a real live painting nonetheless) to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF 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.

When you leave your comment, please also do one of two things: leave your post address or e-mail it to me.

I was lucky enough to be Tracy's 3rd respondent.  I can add a piece of hers to my walls....it will be a great addition! 

As Tracy mentions in her blog, she is usually a humbug about this sort of thing, I could add that I'm usually skeptical or in this cas a bit shy about doing this...but I'll love to have a work of Tracy's and others will feel the same (about my work) as this goes on!

No matter what you do, either by what you are suggesting or something else, when you give away it is always a blessing.  It is an amazing concept and I believe it is real.  We reap what we sow.  Did you like the movie as well?  I loved it.   Great blog.  I will check out your website, too.  Lots of love-   me
