Yeah, I know...I have been MIA for a little while. I have been dealing with some personal and work-related stuff. Things have lightened up a bit and what better way to pick up where I left off than with the Pay it Forward Contest hosted by @thedarkhorse. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUuQvhqgxDWVj7o8HNdkFMQiHKftpV3Y9VfNAsnzKPaux/image.png) This week, the participants are allowed to feature 2 quality posts with reputations of 55 or under.

I immediately fell in love with his work. Browsing through his blog, I realised that he isn't a stranger to @pic as he was featured by @sams-world last month. His work is so different and captivating that I felt the need to give him some more spotlight.

--- He uses everyday objects to create 2D artwork - who would have thought that a simple pair of scissors or correction tape could create such magic. He also offers steps in the process of his creations. His work reminds me that in a world where we have more sellers than buyers, it is the difference that you bring that will make your product or service stand out and indeed he has stood out. Please visit his profile and give him some love. Here is a link to his latest post - [My Simple Artwork 2D With Scissors | PANCO](https://steemit.com/esteem/@febrirmd/my-simple-artwork-2d-with-scissors-or-panco-91e7dd8582be4). ![9.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRf9Ag3nKJEaXShkcEjLCVTGEATGnWYAKaXht8CbwnLSA/9.png) ### 2. @zia-md --- https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXkcB64ED5VzzWBSwTdw7c2p8tMqmHbSuEsSSU4BVmdNm/Untitled.png ---- Time for another promising newbie? Well, she is 185 days old but I say newbie because she has only recently made three posts, which include a self introduction post. @zia-md is from the Philippines where she is a registered pharmacist and student in the field of Medicine.

She has a passion for writing and I must say, assuming that she is a non-native English speaker, she expresses herself quite well. Based on what i have read on her blog thus far, I can tell that she writes from a deep place. It is always good when a writer can bring his/her reader "into his/her emotions." Her post that caught my attention was written to her future love - [To the One I haven’t Met Yet](https://steemit.com/love/@zia-md/to-the-one-i-haven-t-met-yet) - and who knows, maybe it is one of you guys. So do go and check her out. 😂 It is good to know that there are still women, like myself, who haven't given up on love after all the hurt that we have been through. Here is a link to her latest post - [Every Child is Special; Tackling In Vitro Fertilization](https://steemit.com/science/@zia-md/every-child-is-special-tackling-in-vitro-fertilization-95edd51b1bbd8).
