Wha...Oh, I think that is just the loveliest thing. What a wonderful gift. A couple of years ago I got one of those pay-it-forward gifts in Boston when I was driving there. I was a nervous wreck (I'm from a small Canadian city and was there on business for two weeks so had a rental car). Anyway, I go through a toll booth onto the Mass turnpike and the guy in front of me paid my toll. The lady said "that van just paid your toll". It was such a wonderful feeling...<br /><br />Since then I did it a couple of times at coffee drive-thru's (we have the very famous Tim Hortons in Canada) and it is such a rush. Funny how something so small can mean so much. I have had some pretty crummy days and something like this can really make your heart sing.<br /><br />What a beautiful thing you did!<br /><br />P.S. I am coming over here after listening to all the Skirted Roundtables. I used to visit your blog in the early days a lot - I've been blogging 3 yrs now but rather low profile as I am not a designer just an ID enthusiast! - it is nice to hear your design voice and visit your blog again.<br /><br />Have a great rest o' week, TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-14112169208756836652009-08-20T11:43:07.336-07:002009-08-20T11:43:07.336-07:00This is so great- what a wonderful summer afternoo...This is so great- what a wonderful summer afternoon for sure!LindsBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548424318705008557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-193994178157691312009-08-18T02:00:13.786-07:002009-08-18T02:00:13.786-07:00you are such a great mom! loved this. really lov...you are such a great mom! loved this. really loved this.cotedetexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421509668956556785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-87734191629676471032009-08-17T21:24:41.553-07:002009-08-17T21:24:41.553-07:00i'm loving you all so much from afar, i almost...i'm loving you all so much from afar, i almost can't even handle it.<br /><br />can't. even. handle. it.<br /><br />you're all lovely and beautiful, and i look forward to having you in my Army of Agents for Kindness!<br /><br />{and many, many thanks, miss megan, for sharing me on your blog. i'm blushing bunches. and feeling so much love.}<br /><br />smooches to all,<br />Secret Agent LSecret Agent Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343981376468232555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-47325791678467553942009-08-17T18:47:37.720-07:002009-08-17T18:47:37.720-07:00I so understand your plight when the "natives...I so understand your plight when the "natives" get restless before school starts and summer seems forever.

My daughter and I committed the occasional random act of kindness when she was small and I'm told that she and her friends (all in college now) will sometimes leave encouraging notes and drawings to be found by strangers. But to be part of a secret agency... I'm in if Agent L will have me!<br />Good for you to have spread the love inside as well as outside your home.

I feel inspired to do something similar and share it on my blog as well. I love how the blogging world tends to make such a big world sooo small. <br /><br />I loved that you were able to include your 2 daughters in the mission! <br /><br />What a perfect start to my day! <br /><br />take care, KimKim Klassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923125979779096069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-55315456074273982452009-08-17T07:44:17.559-07:002009-08-17T07:44:17.559-07:00So cute!!!!

I love the idea of making something and leaving it in a public place to be found by a stranger. I have made a few felt bookmarks and left them in books at my local library. But I would like to do more. Thank you for the reminder! I'm going to put this on my To Do list for the coming week.<br /><br />cheers, BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885773514539915190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890721230860764943.post-18041350635746711942009-08-17T05:22:57.562-07:002009-08-17T05:22:57.562-07:00This is so inspiring!
