Handwritten Notes

Every now and then, when someone sends in payment for an order, they include a short handwritten note of thanks in the envelope.  It always makes me stop for a moment and think about how they took the extra time and effort to just share a few kind words, about a monogrammed item of all things!!  It also makes me realize how powerful the written word can be.

These short notes are such a blessing.  So often I make things, deliver them to the person who made the purchase and have no idea how they were received.  These little notes just make my day.  They are like a sprinkle of joy that sometimes give me just the boost I need to get through the next project I am working on.

So pull out those pens and how ever short or long they may be, send a note to someone today.  Give thanks and share a few kind words to someone you may know well or may not know well at all.  It can make their day!
