Earlier this year I took this challenge: Pay it Forward in 2011: I will send something handmade to the first 5 people to respond. They must in turn post this and send something they make to the first 5 people who respond to them. The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.

I waited until the holiday season as I thought it would be fun to send them out as Christmas gifts. For my handmade items I made little collages out of wood and paper. They are similar to the larger, original collage I made for the Paper or Plastic show. Each one is unique, and framed, 6″ x 4″.

Enjoy; Thom Glunt, Nathan VanHorn, Nicholas Moeggenberg, J Hudson & Cody Pittman! 

Unlike last year, Three Bears will not have a table at Crafty Mart this year. We didn’t have enough time to prepare for it. However, my friends at Bark & Hiss offered to sell anything that I might be able to conjure up between now and then. So I will again be selling the little needle-felt owls that I made for last year. So, if you’re in the area, you might stop by and check them out. Also, check out the photos I just found of our table last year, from Amanda Johnson. Lastly, credit for the postcard design by my friend Andy Taray.
