I am still thinking about your thank you notes I had a few more ideas to add.

It will make the writing more enjoyable if you pick out some cute notecards that you really like. No need to be official "thank you" notes. I keep cards with kitties on them and this is what I use. When I buy stamps at the post office, I always ask to see what stamps they have and choose something I like: current stamps have Hershey kisses on them. I also keep an assortment of stickers handy to decorate my envelopes. These are such little things but they make the writing more fun and I believe it helps the person I am writing feel appreciated

Please know that many of us gift-givers truly do enjoy your thank you note! It is a pleasure to be able to open an envelope and see handwriting. E-mail. IM's, text messages, etc are wonderful, but I don't think they will ever bring the thrill of real mail.

Now, how is the writing coming along?
