So - it's been an entire year.
A whole year since the fabulous Erin Keane posted her
Pay It Forward blog of goodness.
I love creating.
I love sending packages to folks.
I signed up eagerly wanting to participate.
Well - Erin came through immediately.
I met her at Malaprop's and she gave me the best gift with
my 2013 word of the year, Transformation.
As for me - um- I got nothing.
I don't know what happened.
I didn't have a clue what to create for
Stacie Florer that "won" my Pay It Forward.

It was on my to-do list.
I didn't have a deadline.
And it never got done.
This was part of my learning for 2013.
The 2 big lessons I learned last year -
1 - Don't take on too many projects at once.
2 - I need deadlines.
I've never met her in person.
She told me she likes earthy things and community.
I wanted to give her something unique.
I made her what I call
"The Steampunk Circle of Life" necklace.

I used the circle, representing community.
I used shades of brown, copper, and gold for the Earth.

In December, I am super happy to say I finally
sent my Pay It Forward gift to
I also sent her a handmade candle.
I wanted to make it super special since I was a year late!
I was so happy to get this message from her -
"I received it and love it!! The necklace is beautiful...so much thought!! You nailed my style too!! And the candle is wonderfully rustic and smells lovely...thank you so much...it is a great treat for me this Christmas season!!" ~Stacie Florer
People love getting packages in the mail.
Especially handmade!
(Again, lesson noted on deadlines.
Hence, this year's word is SIMPLIFY.)
Peace, Inspiration, & Love,
~Amy
