Kindness Begets Kindness

Wow, what a response to the DMC question! I'm so glad to see that I am not alone in my feelings. I thought it was just me, so I dug back into my stash of DMC and there really is a difference. The old stash is much softer. I'll bet something in the process had changed, be it dye or how the threads are manufactured. That will teach me to go out and buy new threads when I have perfectly good threads stashed at home!

I know I haven't posted much this week, but I have a good reason. Hubby and I took the week off and we joined his mom for a week of vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The OBX is a great place to take your family! We love it here and we spend as much time as we can on the wonderful beaches. The whole week was full of sights and adventure. I will update you on some of the fun things that we did and some of my stitching during this coming week.

But, I digress.......

Here is the real reason for my post today. It seems that the "RAK" bug has bit! I've noticed that there have been so many of us that have received such joy from these wonderful Random Acts of Kindness. Including me! Faye over at Carolina Stitcher sent me the most wonderful hand made pins. (Sorry, no pics today as my computer is acting up and I am blogging from my iPod.) THANK YOU FAYE! You are AMAZING!

So, since kindness begets kindness, this is what I'm going to do. I want to perform a true stitchy RAK. But, how is it going to be random and how will I be able to send it to a random
stitchy blogger/reader if I don't know your address? It wouldn't be much of a RAK if I email you and ask for your address, would it?
So.......if you would like to be RAK'd, send me your address and be sure to include the name and www of your blog if you have one(my email is in my profile). You won't know when and you won't know what it may be. How fun is that?

Well, I'm off to the store to pick up an address book! Happy Stitching!
