MERCI!

(card from redstamp.com)

I have a confession to make, I still haven't sent out our wedding thank you cards! We have been married now 6 months and nary a thank you card sent. I have the cards, I just haven't made the time to send them. My husband even offered to do all of them, but we have different views on what should be said in a thank you card. I've already received 2 thank you cards from friends who got married a week after I did, and they sent their cards asap! I know i have up to a year 4 weeks (thanks etiquette police) to do this but with two baby showers planned in the upcoming months I don't want to be writing wedding thank you cards and baby thank you cards. I know i just need to get motivated and do it, it's really important to me because we received so many lovely gifts, i still feel overwhelmed by all the kindness and generosity! So tonight I am going to write 20 thank you cards and see how that goes, a little bit at time might be my golden ticket!

Excellent!

And I don't mean to freak you out, but the etiquette rule is actually that guests have up to a year to send wedding gifts. TY notes are supposed to be sent off as soon as possible.

I've heard that you have only 4 wks after the wedding...

BUT

at this point, why worry about spilt milk? :)

It probably just seems like a totally daunting task. I say, if you don't get the 20 done, just do 1 or 2 each night. That way, you'll be done in a month or so (depending on how many gifts you have). Either way, I think it's just the psychology of getting started. Every journey starts w/ one step.

Four Weeks??? Wha?? It took me nine months or more to get them all out. So some people got them right away...and some...not so much. I read you have up to a year so...that was my goal.

I never have a problem sending thank you cards, but the wedding ones were different. I think because after coming back from my honeymoon the last thing I wanted to do was think wedding.

That said, I think the best way is to tackle a few a night. And unless your husband's idea of what should be included is totally heinous let him do the ones for his friends and family if he's willing.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
