Easy peasy handmade thank you's

    

     If you thought you'd heard the last about the wedding, (since I was put to work half of the weekend finishing up those kitchen cupboards) you'd be wrong.
     There's more. (you're not even surprised)
     You see,long before the wedding, the bride had a fabulous idea. She asked me to make a cute "Thank You" sign for them to hold up in a posed shot at the reception, and then make the picture into thank you cards. Well, in all the festivities of the day, we both forgot to have them pose to take the picture.
     Not to worry.We got a sneak peek at a couple of great pictures of the darling couple from the photographer, and I made them some thank you cards, post haste. It was so very easy to do, too!
     I used a little cheapo print program on my computer, but you could create these in MS Word just as easily. Simply take a photo and put your wording underneath, print it on card stock so you get four copies to a page, cut, and voila'! You have very classy looking cards with plenty of room to write a nice note, and then to put in invitation sized envelopes. All in less than one hour's time.
      This idea doesn't have to be used only for wedding thank you cards. Picture using this idea for a child's birthday thank you. Take a photo of the birthday boy or girl blowing out the candles on a cake, and then let the child write the thank you note. Or how about a picture of you in front of your new home on "we've moved" cards? Possibly a picture of that new puppy to share your news of the newest family member? Oh, my head is spinning; the possibilities are endless.

     Oh! I almost forgot to share these little treats with you! The groom's sweetheart of a Mom ordered these adorable personalized m & m's for the big day as well! Look close now. Are these incredible, or what?! See the tiny  names? See the tiny date? Too cute.
    *sigh* I saved these especially to share with all of you.

What a great idea. I'm thinking. . . 50th anniversary party invites, house warming. . .

About those M & M's. . . I have Lindsey too. Except we spelled her name Lindsay. Doesn't matter, everyone always spells it wrong - - so now she just goes by Lynz. Part of her name, part of my middle name she said.

Please continue to create and give us all "inspiration" we love it! THANK YOU.

Blessings,
