Maybe, Just Maybe....

...Wishes do come true!

Remember my post from last Monday about bringing back the lost art of sending Thank You notes? http://bit.ly/e49dJE

Well, I just happened to be scheduled for some outpatient surgery last week, and it was quite a surprise when two days later I got a thank you note in the mail from the Spectrum Health Surgical Team. It was hand signed and included personal notes from my nurses and some of the other staff.

How cool is that?

This notecard is actually printed on white paper.
Not so sure about my camera skills.

Even though the surgery itself was a bust, the notecard left a great lasting impression. Oh, the power of paper and personalization!

Awesome.

Have you sent one lately?

Is The Thank You Note Becoming A Lost Art?

I really hope not.

I will admit to being one of those people who still sends out handwritten (and handmade) thank you notes, and makes her children do so as well. So this video I saw yesterday on the CBS Sunday Morning Show did not sit well with me.

In it, as part of  the ongoing "Assignment America", Steve Hartman takes a look at the lost art of handwritten thank you notes.




I actually received a hand written note in the mail a few months back from a friend. She wrote just to say thanks for being a good friend. It was completely out of the blue and completely wonderful. It inspired me to send out a few of my own thank you  just because cards, and hers is still tacked to the side of my refrigerator, where it continues to make me smile.

Think what kind of an impression you could make with a card of your own. In an age where a handwritten thank you note is a dying art, let's dare to be different.

May I suggest you use Warm White, Via Felt or Smooth with a matching A-2 envelope for yours?
