Thank-you's. Done.

Nothing all that imaginative. But they are done. And in the mail. 


I made some 'confetti' to go inside the card (my inspiration came from yesterday's post). I printed the words in columns on white card stock and cut them with my paper cutter. It went really fast.


I took the card I made this Christmas and changed the colors, the font and the writing. I used the font 2peas old type.


One of the thank-you's went to a dear friend of mine who brought me over a little gift for my birthday the other day ...


A little ceramic vase - made by a friend of hers (love!) - and filled with a lovely purple hydrangea.


She was going to fill it with white sweet peas because she knows I love them so much and they smell a.m.a.z.i.n.g.


But the ones she ordered came with really long stems and she couldn't bear to cut them down.


I am glad she didn't. Aren't they gorgeous. You should smell them!


They are the perfect accessory for my living room right now. Especially on this cold and rainy day!
I am joining Annie and linking up with Jane who writes a lovely blog called, Small but Charming. She is having a little flower party.

Thank you cards. Late.


Can you believe I still have not sent my Christmas thank you cards? Yikes. I believe in the 'thank you note' and wonder if there is a statute of limitations on how long you can take before it is just too late. I am hoping at least 30 days. 


Part of what has held me up is that I wanted to do something creative and yet I am having a creativity block.



I like the ones I sent out last year & maybe that is the problem - I am stuck that I have to want to do something great instead of just getting them done. 


Does that ever happen to you? Anyway, tackling the thank you notes is one of many things on my list for today. Wish me luck! 
Happy Monday everyone!
