For as long as I can remember, I’ve been writing thank you notes. My mom always had us write them after birthdays and Christmases, and it’s something that’s stuck with me. I know in the age of email, Facebook, and texting, writing a note is rather old-fashioned. And yet, I know how much I love getting one. Just a quick note of gratitude.
Which is why I’ll be having Emily write them. You know, when she can hold a pencil/crayon without trying to eat it and the paper!
These were her Christmas thank you cards. She painted the background!
Now, I’m no card making crafter, but I usually do make my own thank you cards now. And seriously, it couldn’t be easier (or more fun really)!
Birthday notes
For these cards, I went to Tagxedo. I just typed in thanks in different languages and printed it out in a heart shape. Okay, before the printing, I did lots of playing with fonts and colors…
I mounted those hearts to cardstock and used a window punch to slide a picture of Emily in. Like I said, super easy but super cute!
So…the point…write thank you notes and you don’t have to be a card making artist to make something wonderful!
