The super duper wonderful Sarabeth (my super talented fellow Stamp Sistah) decided to do something NICE. She announced a couple of weeks back that she just wanted to do something nice and so she decided to start a nice blog hop, the whole idea being to tell about something nice you’ve done and share a craft and pass it on.

So my nice thing… well last week I made this bookmark:

And I just finished up a couple more to drop in the mail to a random selection of my bookie friends over at TTIC. :D

Now onto what you’ve been looking for… the BLOG CANDY!!!

I’m giving away the handmade (by me) freshwater pearl and crystal necklace shown below. It’s an 18″ single strand necklace on high quality 49 strand jewelry wire with all sterling silver findings and high quality freshwater pearls in a light cream luster.

How to register? Well… go do something nice for someone else and come back here and tell me about it to enter. Go blog about your niceness on your blog and link back here for a second entry (leave me a link so I know you did it). I can’t wait to here your stories!

Your next stop on the hop… The Adventures of Us! Hop on over!!!

    Happy birthday!! I did something nice today, I made a little boy and girl very happy by passing on some Power Rangers, Dora the Explorer and Winnie the Pooh bedding my own children have outgrown (they’re not too big for it lol – just too old!!) It’s only a little thing, but this blog hop has inspired me to try to squeeze a bit more ‘niceness’ into my weekend :-) Thanks for the chance to win – very NICE of you! (Nice is too tame a word for that gorgeous, stunning, beautiful necklace…)

    Oh my goodness, what an amazingly generous blog candy!!!! It’s gorgeous! I’m so amazed that you made it yourself.

    Happy birthday, by the way, while I think about it!
    The bookmark is beautiful too! So elegant.

    Anyway, such a huge blog candy requires me to actually relate a story about being nice that I haven’t spoken about on other blogs because it isn’t really scrapping related.

    I was in the uni cafeteria one day with a couple of friends when a distressed looking woman walked in. She was going up to different tables, trying to get help but obviously having difficulty because of a language barrier. See, she was Thai and in Australia most people only speak English. The other tables seemed to either ignore her or just give up on trying to understand her attempts at broken English.

    When she reached my table, my friends had already decided that they didn’t have the time to help her, so they were busy getting ready to leave as an excuse. I couldn’t do that though. I can’t stand seeing someone in distress and it really upsets me when other people can’t even be bothered to try helping.

    Anyway, to cut a long story short, she and her husband were part of a bus tour of Brisbane, but somehow the bus had left her and her husband behind at Southbank (where my uni campus was). She didn’t know how to contact them and didn’t have a mobile phone, so I helped her out by using the payphone to use directory assistance to call her tour company (at least she had the name written down) and then once the specific bus was located and notified, I waited with them until the bus returned to pick them up.

    They were so grateful that a couple of months later, I received a card from them in Thailand telling me that my helping them was the highlight of their trip to Australia.

    Sorry that was such a long comment, but I thought your generosity, Jen, justified it!

    My nice deed: my best friend just had surgery to remove cervical cancer. She has been stuck in her house and really down. So I made her my special baked mac n cheese. Tomorrow I am taking her to breakfast and to get a pedicure!

    I went to lunch with one of my friends and we stopped for some delicious pie and I saw they had one of my hubby’s favorites so I bought him a piece and brought it home! He was super happy!

  11. Stacie says:

    First off I want to say your bookmark and necklace are both stunning!!!

    Next I made a bookmark (idea from operation nice to make one for somebody and give it to them) for my hubby…I posted about it on my website! I am beginning to realize I am really good to my hubby! :) He is spoiled! But so am I!

    Happy Birthday!

    Wow, your necklace is gorgeous! More beautiful than what you could find in a store. My most recent ‘niceness’ is a little album I am almost finished making for my husband’s granddaughter. His family visited last weekend and I used pictures we took then. We haven’t seen her in four years and I know she will treasure the album.

    Also, here is a link to little gifts I made for the grandchildren and for my friend’s girls.

  14. I’ve done so many nice things on my site! The biggest nice thing is a post I put up to collect sympathy cards to give to military spouses in the event of a tragedy. link is here http://jesskittelson.blogspot.com/2009/08/comfort-military-spouse-and-win-some.html Another would be a card, flowers, and cookies I bought for my neighbor when their dog got parvo http://jesskittelson.blogspot.com/2009/09/card-for-my-neighbor.html And Last but not least is a card I made for my former co-worker in AZ. It’s a happy hello card for her. Her mom passed a few months back and she’s been having a rough time. So I made her a card “just because” http://jesskittelson.blogspot.com/2009/09/polkasimon.html

    WOWsa! I can’t believe you are just giving that away! That goes beyond nice for sure.
    Love your bookmark, especially the dandelion stamp.
    One nice thing I do each month is when I pay our rent I sit and talk to our landlady for about an hour. I dont really like her that much (shhh) and there is a bit of a language barrier, but her mother and husband have passed away and she is always desperate to have me sit down and talk. So I make nice and have a good visit.

    On my blog I made some digi word art that hybrid folks could print off and use for cards or what not.
