Would you all mind doing me a favor? In case you didn’t know, Tristan and I have another blog called The Bright Side Project. To put it simply: we give away something everyday of the week, including holidays. What we give away is based on the month’s theme. This month is a typography extravaganza, and Tristan has managed to secure some strong talent, like Jennifer Renninger.
Tristan loves her. I love her. Everybody loves her. Decor8, PoppyTalk, and The Chicago Tribune have all featured her. These aren’t exactly people known for finding things that suck. And, yet, Jennifer isn’t getting very many answers to the thought provoking question she posed to our readers (you have to answer the question for a shot at winning).
We don’t know why this is happening to Jennifer, but we feel terrible. It’s like we invited home the cool girl in class and our mom just walked into wearing a tattered bra and holding a six pack of beer. So not cool. Tristan added an alternate question today, thinking maybe the original question was too hard. So here is where you come in. If you would love to win some art from Jennifer Renninger (and who wouldn’t?) please to head on over to The Bright Side Project by Thursday May 21st and show Jennifer some love. Answer the question at the bottom of the post, roll the dice, and remind us that Everything Will be OK
Please?
I did it yesterday and was also bummed out by the lack of participation. Hopefully more people throw up a comment. Her stuff is great!
CherryTreeLane�s last blog post..all I could hope for.
Thank you, Rachel! Yes, her stuff is wonderful. I just don’t understand, really!
I didn’t know about the Bright Side Project. I must have been living under a rock. I’m heading over there now…
Deidra�s last blog post..Transplanted
Admittedly, I saw the post and didn’t leave a comment because I felt a little awkward saying “this is what I do for others!” It kind of felt like patting myself on the back, which makes me blush and run for cover. But I got over it and just left a comment :)
Darci�s last blog post..Puppy Love
Darci,
That’s exactly what Jen said she thought was the problem, that maybe people were too shy to give themselves a pat on the back! But, don’t worry–if you don’t feel comfortable answering that question, there is an alternate one now, too! :)
Thanks everyone!
How did I not know about this project? I went over and commented!
Thanks, Kelly! And please do spread the word on the project, too. The more people we get participating, the better press we can get for the contributors. Of course, that also means that contributors are more willing to part with bigger prizes, too!
Will go comment now and also subscribe to the other blog; thanks for the heads-up!
Done! (I’ve limited my blog reading to my very few favorites right now because of time crunches, but will add bright side to the list!)
Julie�s last blog post..And the winner is . . .
I posted about it on facebook.. I was a bit reluctant to answer the questions as I was a contributor : )
I am headed there right now! I don’t think I even knew about this site- maybe I did and forgot. oops.
Taryn�s last blog post..Hash Brown Quiche
I just saw this and thought I’d let you & Jennifer know that I ADORE her work and actually just ordered the “Everything is going to be ok” print yesterday because I loved it sooo much.. I first saw it on the bright side project but I’d have to agree with Darci’s comment above, who said,
“Admittedly, I saw the post and didn�t leave a comment because I felt a little awkward saying �this is what I do for others!� It kind of felt like patting myself on the back, which makes me blush and run for cover. But I got over it and just left a comment :)”
I actually started to write my comment but deleted it b/c it just sort of seemed to wreck the pay it forward things I have done.. I guess those things are best kept to yourself, otherwise, they just dont seem to really truly be a pay it forward kind of thing & seem more like a look at how good I am thing… so, it was weird.. and sad b/c I *really* wanted one of those posters, but see I got one anyhow! Yay! It would be nice to hear all the kind things people have done, but I’d have to hear it in secrecy from someone who had seen it take place or something to make it mean anything I suppose :) All & all, I think typically, the sort of people who pay it forward are also the kind of people who are humble & quite meek, so that’s a tough question to be answered… and if anything it’s a testament to how loved Jennifer is to have gotten all the comments she did, it’s not easy to draw folks out like that but her work did it! Well done! ^_^
