My mother taught me how to write thank you notes when I was very young, in response to far-away relatives who sent me gifts at Christmas. It has become such a habit that the Christmas season is just not complete until the notes are done.
In keeping with my decision to make all of my own cards, I created my thank you notes from scraps of Christmas paper left over from holiday card making and a few pieces from cards that I received and saved over the course of the year.
Most of these will go to my students who gave me a wide variety of beautiful gifts this Christmas (I truly am a spoiled teacher!).



Speaking of thank-yous, I’ve been meaning for days to say thanks for the fabulous corduroy bag. It arrived a couple of days before the new year, and I love it!

Thank you again!
I love repurposing and recycling to create something beautiful. These certainly are. Thank you so much for visiting me and taking the time to comment and to introduce yourself. It’s so nice to meet you.
What a wonderful and beautiful idea!
