Sometimes...inspiration and encouragement can come from the most unexpected places. That was the idea behind this week's "pay it forward". Short and sweet words of encouragement can change a person's day...and maybe even their direction.
It started with some of my favorite quotes...ones I have collected throughout the years...ones I look to on days that are harder than most. I printed the quotes on some pretty paper...
...and cut them into strips.
I put a small drop of super glue on the end of the paper strip and placed the end of a 3" piece on string into the glue and folded the paper over.
I then rolled the quotation tightly around a toothpick.
I bought some small corked bottles at a craft store. These are Tim Holtz brand and can be found at many craft stores.
I dropped each quote into one of the bottles and then...
...attached a "pay it forward" tag.
I left some of the bottles as they were, and I tied jute string around a few so that I could hang them, as well as set them on different surfaces.
Just like last week's "pay it forward", I left these cute message bottles everywhere I went today...with the hope that they find someone who will be just as inspired as I was by the contents inside of them.
How did you Pay It Forward this week?
Keep sharing the love : )
