Thank you

You know what birthday parties mean? Thank you cards! And lots of 'em.  Coen had a total of fourteen people/families give him wonderful, fun, and thoughtful gifts this year for his 7th birthday.
Do I have money to go buy thank you cards? No!
So here's a quick and easy way to make thank you cards with a personal touch.

Take come coloring book pages, or free hand drawings that your kid made (or better yet, have them draw something for the occasion) and cut them out into small, card size squares or rectangles. Frame them on colored paper that brings out the color in the drawing or picture and paste them on colored paper cut into card size.  Then you write the message on white paper, cut that out and paste it on the inside part of the card.  There you have it!

Coen's turned out lovely.

p.s. We save all of Lucy's drawings done on big paper at daycare and use them for wrapping paper!
