TAG YOU'RE IT!!!!



The tags are ready and are mailing out today!

At the get-together...I was too shy to get up on stage and pitch my own idea, but like I said, I did promise I would help with one of the ten chosen projects. I picked the “Pay It Forward” program, because I loved the movie so much. I am doing my part of the project based on love and appreciation! Donny said it didn’t have to be how much money was raised…he is just looking for the difference it makes. He gave everyone $300.00 and a video camera to capture their progress. Unfortunately, my chosen project is based out of Canada and is doing a more charity driven program. I am doing mine, with approval, more like the movie and with my own funds and cameras. It will be added to their program later…once I get it going. I am doing it on a "TAG YOU’RE IT” basis, and I have chosen twelve friends to begin with. The idea is for them to pick a person they feel has made a difference in their lives, or one they would like to make a difference to, to pass their tag along to. Then do something for them to show them what they mean to them. It can be as big or small as they like. There are no rules for that part…as a card with nice words are sometimes the greatest gift! I have matched Donny’s donation of $300.00, and divided it amongst the twelve to start the project off with. I know it’s not much when divided up, but it’s a start...and I wanted to give them something towards the first efforts. Especially, since I did not do something special for each of them individually to start it off with. They were chosen because they are all special to me…and have touched my life…my heart…and I wanted them involved! After they decide what they want to do, they can e-mail me a photo and a little story so I can add it to this blog. It will be fun to track the tags on their journey and see how far they go. If they want more than a photo, I will come out and video their story for the blog. They can also film it themselves, because I know Donny would love video, too…but it certainly is not required. I know I picked twelve SUPER LOVING CREATIVE PEOPLE to start my blog off with a bang!

Let's see who responds first!

    Hi Di! Okay, I think I am understanding it better. So you picked 12 "super loving creative people" but this one is as overwhelmed as I've ever been! I may not be able to jump right on the back wagon, but I'll do my best once my current project is a little more under control.

    Question though: So are we supposed to just send on the tag you've sent us or do we make 12 more and send them on????

    I picked 12...but you just pass your tag on to ONE special person who has made a difference in your life. Do something nice for them when you pass your tag...then they will do the same for someone special in their life....and so on! People keep on asking so I'll tell you too...only do something for them and pass the tag...do not pass money as I did to the first 12, that was just because I did not do 12 separate special things for you guys! But, you know I LOVE YOU...xo...you girls are my ROCKS!
