Today I am sharing a short post about a project I recently completed.
Early in 2014, I participated in a FB share of Paying it Forward.
One had to share on their timeline a post that read,The first 5 people to comment,would receive something from me in the mail before the end of the year.
This could be a piece of art,postcard or letter,trinket,or even cookies!really,anything- but had to be mailed before the year was up! Well, I finally mailed the last of my gifts on 30 December...and I am happy to say,everyone has now received their gifts- and hopefully like them as well! heehee
Here are a few pictures of what was sent...

Mike and I have known each other since we were 5-grew up across the street from one another. Mike has always been a fan of my art-even the painted rocks I made when I was 7! heehee
Then there was a box filled with bits and bobs,pieces of lace and artsy trinkets which was received by Annette in Texas
A few years back, Linda and I were in a paper doll swap group and Linda had received, my Nashia
(named for the flower Echinacea which she wears around her neck)

Linda has always told me how much she loves her doll and
even uses it as her Christmas tree topper- so I thought Nashia should
have a younger sister to keep her company.
This,as well as Mike's are prints from a larger acrylic painting I had done.

| notice anyone familiar here? |
(yummmm!)
And finally, this tag went to my dear friend Darlene in Ohio.
Darlene is the first person I had ever met online and started a regular chat with;first in our online class,then email,and finally weekly calls. We now hold a dear friendship and hope to meet in person one day-maybe this is the year!
Thank you for your visit and hope you'll come back again soon- lots of new things to share this year!!
Stay tuned! hugs and creative wishes~

You made me think back to Strathmore and Hands and Heart where we first hung out together! Love you and I think you need to rally something up with paper dolls on Google Mixed Media as yours are wonderful and magical. I have my tag in my studio where I can see it every day.
Great! You have always something new in your mind. What a nice idea.
What an amazing way to pay it forward - these must have given such pleasure when they arrived - and I love the idea of all that creativity winging its way around the world. This post has really put a smile on my face.

So much fun stuff Jackie. I have had no time to check out posts as I have been oil painting with the fabulous artist Alice Saltiel Marshall. I am trying to absorb as much knowledge as I possibly can. Eventually I will get back to playing on Google. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
