Homemade Cakes Here!

This is a bit OT, but I'm taking part in a Pay It Forward Exchane - a bit like a chain letter but nicer. This is the deal:

Let me tell you about it, these are the instructions: "It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.I will now Pay It Forward to you THREE, I wonder who you will be?! Please, be a PIF! You will enjoy it just as much as we do!"And, remember...you have 6 months to get your gifts done! Come on, you know you would love to be one of my angels. Then, one day, but you don't know when....you will get a gift that I have made especially for YOU!Please remember, you don't have to knit or crochet to participate, anyone who can make a nice handmade gift is welcome to join :)

I can't make any gifts, only cakes, so for the first 3 people who leave a comment here on the board, or email me, I promise to make a yummy cake or cakes, within the next 6 months. You know you want to....Linds

Hi... I love the Chicken Soup series of books and I'm pretty sure there is a story that includes a form of PIF in one of them, I might try and dig it out sometime because it is a lovely story.

I've done a variation of this as well but with smiles (they come free) and given a random smile to someone who looks like they could do with a sign of friendliness. Living in London I'm sure some people think I am pretty strange!

Anyway great idea!
