Operation email inbox? Success! I can’t say I have zero messages because apparently the people I’m contacting do not take months to reply, and some of them wrote back within 24 hours. Imagine!

It’s 30 degrees outside in Dallas today (I realize no one thinks that is a big deal, but remember, I’ll be paying my dues this summer!), and so receiving this gorgeous handmade checkered scarf from Julie was a particularly sweet treat. I’m pretty sure a gift like this doubled the coolness quotient of my wardrobe.

I’ve just about given up on the idea of grabbing self-portraits that are in focus. I really need to order a remote!
Why would an incredibly busy 5th year oncology student like Julie take the time to knit me a scarf? Several months ago I was one of the lucky first five commenters to express interest in being part of the Craft It Forward challenge. Julie would take the time to make me something using her many talents (and look at that scarf, isn’t she crazy talented?) and I agreed to do the same thing for 5 more people.
Now that I have this beautiful handmade item it’s time for me to pass something handmade on. If you would like to enter for a chance to receive something from me, comment below. Entries close on Friday and I’ll be using random.org to choose the 5 people who receive something so comment below before then and I”ll announce the recipients next Saturday.
The only way chains like this are effective is if every single person who signs up to receive something in turn passes something on, so please only comment if you are positive you will be able to follow through and send something off to 5 people in return.
