Earlier this month one of my friends on Facebook posted a photo of some very cute crafts she had received from someone. They were sent to her as part of a Craft it Forward Project. Craft it Forward is based on the idea of Pay it Forward: you make something for other people, and they then make something for other people, who then make something for other people and so on.
I immediately took to the idea. It combines some of the things I like best: getting mail, sending mail, making stuff, and giving people things. So, I signed up at Signe’s post and last week I received my package.
Signe is immensely creative and talented and I love what she made. From left to right there’s a tag with the letter R on it, an empty envelop to put things in (with a beautiful sticker on the back to close it with), a flag of (I think) washi tape, a magnet with Signe’s horse on it, some clay beads to decorate (or keep as is, I think for now I prefer them like this) and a drawing/colouring page.
I’m always especially enamoured with Signe’s drawing skills so I think I’ll have to find me a pretty frame to put it in.
After receiving this, it is now my turn to make something for other people. I already have some ideas of what I want to make. A general shape or outline, but the nuance will depend on who signs up for this. I maintain the sign up at my Facebook because that’s where I have more people, plus the ease of tagging them. And besides, it’s not as if more than a handful of people actually ever comments here.
Once the people are known, and the packages sent I will post photos of what I made and my process.

Thanks Rianne for your lovely compliments!I am so glad you like the package! The beads are indeed to decorate, or keep as is. The flag is washi-tape and will look great stuck in a muffin, cupcake or even embellish a plantpot! I am lokking forward to seeing your crafting, glad you are planning on recording the proces. Love, friendship and craftiness..
