Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 27, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 27, 2008 Well, it's been about 6 months or so since the last one, and we're getting a lot of new members to the site. I think it's just about time to organize another Pay It Forward event. This was one of the best ideas to roll off a forum in a long time, and I'm interested in doing it again. Anyone else?

Members wildrose Posted December 28, 2008 Members Report Posted December 28, 2008 I'd be happy to do it again. As an explanation to "newbies": what is done is to make a list of who would like to participate. Then, you send a gift YOU make to the person ahead of you on the list. This enables folks to experience a variety of styles and items! I should add, I also got a book by an author I'd been wanting to check out (George RR Martin), so your gift really doesn't have to be handmade entirely (I also got leather goodies) Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 28, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) Wonderful! I liked Wildrose's idea of a deadline for entry, and I propose Jan 15, 2009. That gives all interested a good bit of time to sign up. I also propose shipping dates to be the end of January through the first week or so in February. That allows a little over a month for everything. Is that okay with everyone? Additional note for all who aren't familiar with this: You can PM the person ahead (below) you on the list for a shipping address. At the end of our sign up period, the name at the bottom of the list sends to the name at the top. This is not a competition, but a way to increase our skills and knowlege, maybe see an aspect of leather we aren't familiar with, and spread a little happiness in the process. There's no minimum skill level (no maximum either ), nor any dollar amount requirement attached to this, but what you send should be leather related. As an example: Last time around, I received a box with a leather celtic art inlay, and to my recipient, I sent a handmade slicker/creaser with sheath.
