Pass It Forward

I'm so excited about this fun project from The Shine Project. 
 I think it's a great and beautiful way to spread kindness and miracles.

Pass It Forward was designed to get people to do little things, everyday, that makes an impact on the community around them. Pass it Forward is designed around a card.
 Each card is given a unique ID number.

So, say I'm at the drive thru of a restaurant, and I decide to pay for the person behind me. I would give the cashier the card and tell them to pass it to the next car when they give them their food, that's already been paid for. Then, I go home and log into the website on the card and find the cards ID number. I log into it, and add my information... My first name, city, and a description of what I did.  

Let's say the person behind me was you, you would pass it forward to someone else,
 and then would go home and do the same thing. 

 From the very beginning, you will be able to track where your card goes, and how many people you affect just by doing one simple act of kindness.

This project had the potential of working small miracles in the lives of those we pass, and we will then be able to see how far one simple act can go.

Cards will be given with every purchase from the Shine Shop, or you can purchase a pack of 10 for very cheap from the shop as well. 
 Portions of all proceeds go to the shine scholarship project,
 so you can feel good about your purchase.

How exciting is this?

Monday Giveaway- Win a SHINE Necklace!

Hello everyone! 

I am almost all the way unpacked!

Everything I own is in the new house, and it's been a crazy weekend. 

My feet are blistered from being on them so much.

My fingers feel a bit like velcro from all the scrubbing.

My back hurts from lifting.

But it's been worth it!

I'm the type that keeps on going until it's done.

I would rather be in a new place and sore in two days,

than drag it out over a week or two.

But hey! 

It's Monday, and it's time to announce the winner of the camera giveaway.

First, I would like to say THANK YOU! 

Thank you everyone who entered and shared the links! 

Hosting giveaways is fun. 

Some of the giveaways I have done and are planning on doing come from my own pocket. 

I don't ask people to donate things, I buy them, and choose to give them away. 

It's a lot of fun! I love giving gifts and presents. 

This is probably why my bank account still hasn't recovered since Christmas. 

But hey, it's fun.

Of course, I DO leave the option for giveaways as a sponsorship option. (wink wink)

It's kind of nice to give stuff away, while supporting other shops and blogs! 

I like having weekly giveaways. 

I took a little break in December and Januaray.

But I'm trying to get back!

Now, before I announce the winner, I have another giveaway! 

This week's giveaway is this beautiful SHINE necklace!
It's not hosted by The Shine Project, but I loved the idea so much, I had to do it.

This photo is not mine! It came straight from The Shine Project's Blog.

I purchased 2 of these beautiful necklaces,
one for me, and one for you!
Part of the proceeds  got to The Shine Project Scholarship Fund,
 helping inner city high school students attend college.

These necklaces are beautiful and simple.
A perfect reminder that we can shine.
