Pay It Forward, With Random Acts of Kindness, Give Away.

About a week ago, I won a Pay It Forward Gift from Rachel @ Livin & Lovin. I won the cutest little wrist let ever. Upon winning the pay if forward giveaway you have to keep it going. I thought it was such a fun concept and it is totally something that I am in to...

I love totes. It may be the teacher in me, but for some reason.. I just love them. Don't get me wrong. I love a good purse and I buy them often.. but I also buy totes all the time.. I fell in love with this cute whimsical design... I love it so much but I want to pass it along to one of you.. There will also be a small prize inside.. I love a good giveaway, but I love a surprise as well..

Here are the rules. This is a Pay it forward give away. So before you enter to win please know that you in turn need to do something similar on your blog! To enter just leave a comment telling me a random act of kindness you plan to do today or this week. For another entry post about this pay it forward giveaway on your blog (just let me know if you do).. and for another entry... tell of a random act of kindness that someone has shown you. I will put all entries into a drawing and I will pick the winner randomly (thru a drawing) on Friday evening.

Listed below are some random acts of kindness.. Just to give you some ideas...

Good Luck! And spread a little love through Random Acts of kindness!
