Note from the teacher

My sister isn't one of those people that thinks about getting gifts for others (aside from her kids) it's not a bad thing - she's just so busy that time gets away from her (sound familiar?). So we have this deal, I take care of teacher gifts for her kids. I try to find fun creative and special ways to get the kids involved and let their teachers know that we really appreciate their commitment, time and sanity!

Aren't they cute?!
Imagine my excitement when I came across these cute cube notes from Paperly! They are the perfect addition to this year's Christmas gift package for the kids' teachers and they're personalized. They look nice, thoughtful and classy - all the things a parent wants to give to the person grading their children, right? :)

Order before Thanksgiving and I'll take 10% off just email me - jennifer_wilson@paperly.com

Christmas (er...) Holiday Card Anxiety

If you're anything like me, you have the best of intentions but... (insert your excuse d'jour here). This year though since I've stumbled across Paperly, I'm so excited to order Holiday cards and send them out in a timely manner!

Mostly, I buy cards that I'm lukewarm about and then they sit until the day after Christmas and (yes I'm one of those people) I send them somewhere around New Years. Welcome to the party - a week later! But I came across these "Happy Everything" cards, and I am STOKED!

Pretty much sums it up!
The best part about these cards is that you can customize the colors and patterns - not just the photos! I feel like of silly like a kid in a candy store, but you have to admit these are super cute!

I bet you're thinking, Jennifer these aren't handwritten - you got me! But you could add your own message under your printed message for that personal touch.

This year, my theme is a challenge to my "Happy Everything" recipients for the new year is:
"Do something to make yourself happy"

Seems easy enough sure, but the difficult part is choosing the right encouragement for your friends, neighbors and family.

Enjoy the Little Things
Keep on the Sunny Side of Life
Think Happy. Be Happy.
Smile. Happy looks good on you.
It's never to late to live happily ever after
If a train doesn't stop at your station, it wasn't your train.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you
No matter what they tell you, you don't have to stay within the lines!

My favorite:

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions & I'm thrilled about it!

I encourage you to write a fun something in your holiday cards (whichever one you celebrate). Your friends, neighbors and family will feel so special that you took the extra minute!
