Scarlet, over at As Good As It Gets played the Pay It Forward game and I was one of her lucky winners! I love reading Scarlet's blog. She's always having margaritas with a hottie, chatting with her dad about Cuba, or sketching some nekkid man. If I lived anywhere close, I'd be sketching nekkid with her!
Friday, I walked out the side door and there sat a box. But I hadn't ordered anything. When I looked, it was from way down in Miami! It was SCARLET'S BOX!!!!!
Inside was a card and three little wrapped packages.
#1~ A sweet Christmas card!
#2~ Freakin' Hilarious Cocktail napkins. YAY!
#3~ Wine stoppers. Scarlet, are you peeking into my windows at night? I'm always trying to force the cork back in and then turning it upside down. Pushing harder. Sqeeeeezing.
#4~ Margarita popsicle makers! Now, you're reading my mind. I've looked all over for popsicle molds. We have a little Mexican Paletta shop in town that has the BEST popsicles. I've been dying to try my hand at popsicle making!
I played last year and it was SO much fun! Now, it's my turn to Pay It Forward. This is how it works:
According to the rules, “the exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in his/her turn, pass the kindness along and pay it forward in his/her own way. I agree to send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to three random commenters. In turn, those three will post this information and pick 3 people they want to send something to and so on."
There you go. Easy game. You comment. I pick. You get stuff. You post. You pick. You send stuff. And So on.
Comment dammit! I'll give you all until Friday and then Trace will choose the three winners!
P.S. If you don't wanna play, just say so in your comment.

That sounds like great stuff, and I can't even believe I'm the first commenter! Whoo Hoo! That NEVER happens to me!
Okay, when you make those popsicles you have GOT to post pictures of them!
Commenting away here! Hmmm margarita popsicles.... interesting
How cool is this!?! Scarlet kinda captured South Florida in a box, didn't she? (I would have included a Palmetto bug, but that's just me. LOL)
This is a really a fun thing to do, congratulations on being a winner and participant!
Awww what a sweet idea! I love it!
I'm gonna do it even if I don't win. :)
You title is oh so tempting!
If I wasn't so damn broke at the moment I'd play but must refrain this time around.
You got some good loot there girl!!! Enjoy!
I love this idea and it gives me a reason to shop creatively!!
You definitely hit the jackpot!!
Have fun with the popsicles and let me know how they turn out!
Me! Me! I wanna play!
I think I'll act as a balancing factor in the force. For every random act of kindness you inspire, I personally will stomp on a chipmunk.
Oh this sounds fun. I don't think that anyone is really local to me (Dallas, GA) or I could toss in a gift certificate from my side business, Paulding Holistic
Any takers?
PS- That was a misleading title! LOL
I thought the Rabbit was for something else entirely!
I love these Pay It Forward blogs. It makes you feel all positive and productive.
Based solely on the title of this post, I was already booking air fare to see you! Good thing I read the post, that would have made for an awkward moment at your door...
i would die without my wine stoppers. i hate fighting with the corks, altho i have to say i have become a pro at getting them back in somehow.
I'm so glad you enjoyed a little taste from down under...Florida, I mean, not Australia (and get your mind out of the gutter, Dimples!).
Btw, I'll be sketching a nekkid man this weekend, so if you're in the area...;)
Good luck to everyone playing the game. Have fun!
Sounds cool. I'd play but I have enough trouble finding time to shop for Christmas. Much less coming up with a cool idea for a gift.
Lame I know.
=)
What a lovely idea and you got some great things in your box! :)
I won't play because the cost of postage across the pond is extortionate these days.
OH DARLIN', I wanna play, oh yes....
AND I made a neekid mermaid cup and I posted it yesterday. Just sayin'
What a great idea!
To be honest, I'd love to give you a suggestion here..
I propose that you should pick Dana from Amid Life's Crisis for one of your bloggers.. Even if she doesn't respond to this.
Why? Because then it will be COMPLETELY random, and she'll be extremely surprised. That, and I really think she's deserving of some holiday cheer, don't you?
Oh, and when I first saw those "Rabbit" bottle stoppers, I really wasn't sure what they were, and was hoping it wasn't what I'd assumed they could be..
Good thing I kept reading!
Cool little 'game'...and of course my pass-along would be musically inclined
I wanna play too! I love games!!!!
What a great idea! I'll play. :)
Your box looks amazing. Lots of great stuff in there....especially the popsicle makings!
~vk~
This sounds like a lot of fun. I am definitely in! We sell a sign in my store you would love it says "Margaritas make my clothes fall off"
Cool idea. I don't think I want to play, well I do want to play but then again I don't want to play, know what I mean HA! I would like a set of those rabbit stoppers.
You know I want to play with you, but people will talk if Trace picks me. Oh hell, let them talk!!
Oooh, I love these! I love to give prizes! Gifts! Stuff! I love to receive prizes, gifts, stuff!
How fun!
"Who wants my box?" Don't tease me so. Cheers!!
I want to win!!! I just love feeling special. Plus, getting anything in the mail is fun. (as long as it's not bills)
PS. I love your blog title. It was awesome. Who wants your box? Babe, we all do!
oh yeah, I'm in!!!
Awww this is so freaking cool! Am I automatically knocked out this time because I'll be in Mexico for a week?? :( If so, I'll have to start my own after the holidays.
Such a cute goodie basket! Love the margarita popsicle idea too.
What awesome gifts and a great idea! I want to play!
If you're giving away your box, I'm a-takin'
=)
i loved doing this last year, but we did 'handmade' gifts. omgosh i LOVE margaritas. ya gonna share :)
is it friday yet??? LOL
How fun! I just did a virtual smart ass giveaway but this is really more my speed.
You mean you still have wine left over? You're kidding!
Isn't that great how you got what you wanted? In the month of Christmas, no less... ;)
waves....HEY THERE
Who can help but love Scarlett? She's a cutie with a heart of gold. This was a great idea for a pay it forward post chain - very cool!
Ohhh THAT BOX!!!
I thought you where taking me up ;) on the scientific experiment...
All of those sparklers are nice also.. My wife would love it....
I WANT IT I WANT IT!!!! LOOK AT ME!!! PICK ME PICK ME....I'M COMMENT #40 AND I PROMISE TO LOVE YOU FOR LIFE AND ALWAYS COME TO YOUR BLOG AND COMMENT AND OHOHOHOHOHOHOH PICK ME!!!
Was that good for you??? Becuz it was great for me! :)
Not concerned with a prize, just wanted to congratulate you on your win and say enjoy your goodies. You deserve some good stuff. Thanks for stopping in at my place, I am here, just been a bit too busy lately to get in a good post or hardly even a comment. I'm hoping to rectify that tonight. Funny thing about blogging from work is that every now and then there is actually stuff to do around here and doggone it if my bosses don't want work stuff to take precedence. Imagine that!
Take care,
FMD
Man, you RAKED! Enjoy all your flippin' sweet loot!
Hope you're having a fabulous holiday season and that 2009 brings you all that you wish for...
XO
Anna
Okay okay!!! if I take your box, will you post again? Where'd you go, lady?
Very nice! I think everyone could use a couple of packs of wine stoppers. I know I could. Especially for those very rare occasions when I don't finish my second bottle.
you'll get no further acts of kindness from me today.
i listened for 30 minutes during lunch break to a guy extolling me to accept the lord as my savior. he told me i was going to hell, not only me but my family too, if i didn't.
my one kindness is: i listened to him.
Oooo! Pick me! Pick me!!
*jumping up and down wildly waving arms in the air*
Oh. *ahem* Yes. I would like to be considered. I think this is a fabulous idea. :)
Dammit! I missed out on the fun! *sigh*
Oh well, sounds like a hoot! And what a great way to spread good will!
I missed out on the fun too. :(
Those were some kick ass gifts too!
