Serena Lewis: Pay It Forward gift

Pay It Forward gift

I mailed this 'Pay It Forward' gift off to Ben yesterday. Ben is a writer so I thought the handmade notebook and (purchased) pen would come in handy for him. As Ben likens himself to a modern day Plato, I painted a Plato statue on the front of a CD wallet. I figure he can use the wallet to store a hardcopy of his book and other computer data. I hope he likes what I have sent and makes good use of it.

I should have an update on the doggy in a blanket painting for you tomorrow. I've had an asthmatic cough bugggin me all week so it's been a little hard to focus on painting.

First off the lorikeet is glorious...absolutely stunning...such vibrant color and exacting detail...what a treat for the eyes!...

I love the plaid blanket and the sleeping doggie...you captured such a perfect moment...

Your books are soooo cool! I had a fellow artist offer to show me how to make one and now I think I just might take her up on the offer!

Thanks for the inspiration you give all of us...a wonderful visit!; 27 June 2008 at 08:50

Ben Abba said...: Serena,

I have been traveling around the planet lately, however I was told yesterday by my mail service that they had received the package and was still holding it for me.

Thank you so much!

I have not received my 3 requested for free gifts yet, so I went ahead and re-posted my offering for a free gift.

If I do not receive my 3 soon, I will be sending you one of my three gifts.

Blessings!; 23 July 2008 at 23:09
