I have finished my first PIF gifts and have taken up another PIF from Pats blog "Sew Pat".
This concept is like the movie called Pay It Forward with Kevin Spacey and Haley Joel Osment in it. The 12 year old boy has a school assignment and he comes up with the PIF concept....it was a wonderful movie but you need your tissues. I sobbed. PIF is where acts of kindness are done without expecting anything in return, just passing it on, hoping that the recipients will do the same and pay it forward, like a never ending chain of kindness
I will make and send a gift for the first 3 friends who post a comment to this post, requesting to join this exchange, and promising to pay it forward to 3 other persons, etc.... I don't know what my 3 gifts will be,but I can promise I will send them within the next 365 days. What YOU have to do in return then, is "Pay It Forward" by making the same announcement and promise on YOUR blog. I now have 3 lovely bloggers willing to PIF. Janice, Linda "Kaaren". I never heard back from Deb or Adria after I replied to their comments left.

I love the differences. My father had a lot of Cherokee Indian blood so had very dark hair, skin, and eyes. My mom on the other hand is very fair with blue eyes and strawberry blond hair, at least before it turned snow white. She could never get in the sun. My sis has red hair, green eyes and lots of freckles. My brother had black hair, before it turned snow white, blue eyes and very fair skinned. I used to have dark brown hair, dark brown eyes (they changed to green when I was a teen, weird) and dark skin (that is if I ever get in the sun which I don't without sunscreen anymore.) I love that we are so different in looks and in actions.
Wow! Your brother is certainly the darkest, your sister is inbetween and you are the 'white' one!!! lol
If we didn't know you were siblings you would NEVER guess!
ARe you SURE they didn't pinch you from outside the neighbours house! lol
That is such a lovely story Khris and actually you have the same smile as your sister. What a fabulous family.
Big hugs, lizzie

Hi Khris
You all are different that for sure all lovely in your own ways
Greg has this some of his siblings are really fair others are dark
You got the Pomp part of the family the best part coming from a pomp lol actually i envy dark skinned people as i say i am one of the homepride flour people i am so white lol
Hugs Janice
Wow Khris, you are all so very different! :-) And yet there is something similar about you all, but I can't put my finger on it.
I have a blue-eyed blonde friend whose parents are Fijian... and her parents and sister are so dark that most people wonder if she has been adopted! I think it is amazing how our genes work... and how quite often similarities skip a generation - so it is the grandparents and grandkids who are more alike than the parents and children themselves!
You have a beautiful family Khris... and you all have one thing in common - you look so happy!
Hugs! Vikki xoxo
You are all beautiful, my MIL used to say something like, Handsome is as Handsome does, not sure what it meant, but I think it may refer to you all. He is handsome for sure and you two girls, knockouts is the word that comes to mind. How wonderful to have such a mix, be proud. I would be. lol Jan x
Oh yes....and when he has finished with that fabulous shirt.....you know where to send it. hahahahaha lol xxx
Khris, you and your siblings are beautiful and you all have the same eyes and noses! Yes! and the same beautiful smiles....gosh, you guys look great together! What a way to celebrate ones heritage! It's all there!
hugz

Hi Khris! You have a wonderful family, no matter what you look like as you all seem to be so happy!!! I'd love to have siblings and wouldn't mind at all about their skin tone, it's just lovely to have people you can turn to and you know they will be by your side in any step that you venture yourself in!
Congrats on your beautiful family!
Hugs,
Sandy-
