PAY IT FORWARD

Happy International Day of Kindness, pals! I hope that you are able to go out of your way today to be kind to someone, anyone. It only takes a moment to make someone smile and let them know that they matter!

Today a very dear friend of mine surprised me at our coffee date with a super thoughtful gift. It was just the simplest thing but I was blown away that she had thought to surprise me with a little present. In honour, of International Day of Kindness, I thought that, I too, shall pay it forward to someone special. I’ve partnered with Etsy Canada for their Pay It Forward Project to treat one of my readers to an awesome one-of-a-kind gift from some of the amazing indie retailers on Etsy.

I searched and searched and finally found my perfect Pay It Forward gifts! As you probably can tell, I love paper products with a passion. If you’ve ever seen my office, I am a bit of a hoarder of pretty paper bits, letterpress prints and amazing greeting cards (which I love to frame – mini art!). Well, I thought I would pass my love of printed goodness to you.

In honour, of all the amazing beer and food out there, I thought this gorgeous Beer + Food Pairings Calendar from Red Cruiser Illustration would be an appropriate way to start the new year! Keeping with the theme of tasty goodness, you’ll also get this sweet letterpress note card of everyone’s favourite hot sauce, Sriracha from Printerette Press. And because, I love dogs I couldn’t resist throwing in this adorable dachshund Woof! card from Quill & Fox. Frame those two cards up and you’ve got instant letterpress art ready for your walls. Or you could pay it forward it write someone a heartfelt note.

To win this little package of goodies all you have to do is leave a comment here telling me your plans to perform a random act of kindness this week! It could be absolutely anything from shovelling your neighbour’s walk to treating your girlfriends to dinner. I can’t wait to hear what you’ll get up to. The giveaway ends Friday November 15th at 12noon so be sure to get your entry in!

In the meantime, I hope you celebrate International Day of Kindness with a smile and with the intention to be good to people.
