Sending Thank Yous

Since I was a little girl, my mom has always made comments about sending notes.  Especially “thank you” notes.  A few months ago I’d posted about being terrible about sending notes of any kind out…birthday, thank yous, thinking of yous, etc.  This was also the post where I’d said I was ordering stationery from Tiny Prints (llllooooovvvveeeee their prints!).  Well, I did.  I ordered some sweet notes for both Reynolds

and Eliza Jane

I did this mainly so that 1. I’m in the habit of sending out notes for their gifts and 2. when they’re old enough to scribble, they can start writing their own notes, on their own stationery.  {Your welcome, kiddos!}

I was thinking the other day as I wrote out a couple of thank yous, that there are are “proper” ways to write a thank you note.  So, I thought I’d share some in case anyone out there needed a little help (I always do!).

From Southern Living:  How to Write a Charming Thank You Note {because not all notes are charming? :)}

From the queen of etiquette: Emily Post: Being Thankful: A Thank-You Note Q&A

I actually enjoy writing thank you notes {though at times it can be hard to know exactly what to say – see above links!!}…a heart of gratitude puts me in a happier state!

Andrew is  presently playing in a soft-ball game so guess what this girl’s about to do…tune my heart towards some gratitude (see that, I made rhyme!)!!
