This was a project at Kim's very first Stampin' up workshop. I thought it was great. Quick and simple, but a great gift for someone. The loops to the side are for a pen.
She used Chocolate Chip and creamy caramel cardstock. The Chocolate chip cardstock was cut 7- 1/4 in x 3-1/2 in. She used the greetings galore stamp set. Inside is a pad of post it notes. What a charming way to let someonne special know that you are thinking of them. Thanks Kim
One of my favorite bloggers, Michelle Laycock , had an interesting article on writing thank yous, and I have always been a little uncertain about this part of etiquette. I was glad to read her article- michelle's article and the one that she linked to from her reading -susan fenner article
Handwritten notes are such a great way to express appreciation. I received a handwritten note this week from a teenage boy for a graduation gift I had given him. I am always impressed when a teenage boy writes anything! But I really loved this note. He was honry but very cute at it!
I appreciate receiving a thank you note is I have mailed a gift so that I know they have received it.
According to Michelle, send the note right away while it is fresh in your mind and it is easier to sincerely express your feelings. A week is a good guideline
Always send one after a party or dinner for which you received a written invitation.
Always send thank-you notes for wedding or shower gifts, for gifts when hospitalized and for sympathy cards and flowers.
It's recommended, though not required, that you send one when you have been a guest at a dinner party.
It's smart to send a thank-you after a job interview.
It's nice to send thank-you notes when friends help you out in tough situations and for gifts that were opened with the giver present and you thanked him or her at the time.
Try sending a thank-you note this year completely out of the blue. Thank a friend for his or her friendship. Thank a former teacher for his or her guidance years ago.
This being said, Thank you to all the customers and hostesses that have made my stamping business fun and worthwhile!
Stampin' Up has announced which accessories they are retiring as of June 30th. I was surprised by the 12x12 cardstock but believe the colors will just be repackaged not replaced. I will really miss the grosgrain ribbon and plan to stock up before they are all gone. Here is the retired accessories list
