    My favorite notes have been notes (and they were short notes… lol) that my husband sent me while he was away at Basic Training. He wasn’t able to write often and when he was able to write he never had much time, so the fact that he wrote at all made me so happy. My favorite was the one where he said (I’m copying it here… lol)

    “Yes I do remember you sneaking over and all the secret calls and emails and exciting as all that was, I’m glad I can tell anyone I want that you’re my wife and I love you more than any man ever loved a woman. No matter what happens you can be certain that is true, and even if I get deployed we will be together in the end and we will be happy. That is a promise.”

    I cried and cried when I got that letter. I am the luckiest woman I think.

    I have notes all over! I love the notes from my husband so very much BUT some of the favorite notes I’ve gotten have been from the kids at different points in their lives. From the hard to read 6 year old handwriting to the text from my 18 year old in college. “Love you Mom”. I always smile when I think of those notes.
    Hope you had a great trip.

    My favorite notes don’t last long. We keep a dry erase marker in our upstairs bathroom. Since my husband and I work such different shifts, we often don’t even see each other in the morning, so we leave each other notes. Sometimes it’s just “pick up more paper towels at the grocery store” but other times it’s “I miss you, I love you!” those ones are the best!

    I love this set, and never got it for myself, so thanks for sharing yours!

    Every so often, I’ll include a note in my DS’s lunch box… A simple post-it with a “Love ya!” or “Good luck on the test” etc. I’m taking advantage of this now while he’s still young enough to appreciate and enjoy it, rather than when he’s older and may be embarassed by the lovey-dovey notes I send.

    I love the notes that I receive from my grandkids! They usually include a sweet drawing and they make my day. I once saw a Christmas letter from a busy single mom that was just notes beween her kids and herself. They were hilarious and made such a fun Christmas letter of what life was like in their house this past year! Have fun in OK and drive carefully.

    My (long distance) boyfriend works in a lab as a biochemist. He tried all summer to get an experiment to work and failed..and failed..and failed. Earlier this year he finally got it! I sent him a note in the mail with Beeker on it (from the muppets). It was adorable and he loved it!

    My favorite notes are those that come from my 80 year old mother. She loves to write all the details of her busy life. I will cherish those for a long time to come.

    I love to send little love notes to my husband and daughter, I randomly tuck them in their lunch box. My 10yr DD said her friends gather round at lunch to see if there is a note 🙂

    I love to send little notes. Some of my favorite ones have been the most recent ones. They were 3 different ones that I ‘hid’ in my husbands luggage before his business trip. He left Wednesday and gets back Monday. But I also have about 4 on my desk ready to be mailed to friends, but those don’t count since they haven’t been mailed..yet!
    Have a great trip!

    My most favourite note I ever received was from my husband over 21 years ago which I still have. In that note he told me how much he loved me and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life showing me how much and you know he does every single day. At the time we had been married two months lol. But he has never wavered or changed his opinion and occasionally I pull out the note and get all mushy about it all over again hehe. Gosh that reminds me I should get it out cause it has been a while since I read it.

    I used to put notes into my kids lunches, silly stuff, quotes – what ever I thought about at 1 in the morning before I went to bed – I don’t have a favorite note, but it did make me feel good when I found a pile of the notes tucked away in a school backpack years later.
    Hope you are having fun!

    My favorite notes will always be the ones I left my kids in their sack lunches. The best one I received was from my kids when I went on a trip to D.C. They both wrote I miss you & love you & stuck it in my suitcase. I still tear up when I think about it!

    The most adorable note was one that my daughter left for me and my husband for our 21st anniversary . She stamped and cut out and glued stuff on the front of the card….a real keeper – it was so special for her to make us a card.

    I don’t ever remember seeing this set and I’m not sure how I missed it.. It’s very cute.

    Favorite notes? I am one of those people that sends a note just to make someone smile, no other reason, a just because. I think I send them much more than receiving them, but when one of those random thinking of you’s arrives it warms my heart!

    Thank you for all you do!

    a love the notes that my dad used to leave my mother telling her he had gone somewhere, usually fishing, but always adding that he loved her. I found these little notes from him in her Bible, in books, in drawers, that she had kept over the years. Now, I treasure them for the 65 happy years they shared.

    My favorite notes were of course little love letters from my then boyfriend now hubs.
    I worked 5 days a week in a day care facility for children age 2 weeks to 9 years. MY ag group to take care of was the 2 weeks to toddler ages. Which, can be a very stressful job. One day in particular one of my charges learned she could climb out of her crib (during nap time, when all the babies & toddlers are usually asleep). She proceeded to swap diaper bag items with her room mates. By the time I got off work that evening I was both brained fried and body exhausted. But there on my windshield tucked under my windshield wiper was a little slip of paper. Which when opened simply said, “I miss you. I love you. Can’t wait till you get off work!”

    At that moment all the baggage of the day was lifted and I too “missed him”. “loved him” and I was happy to be off work so I could see him. He wrote me many such notes over the 6 months period we dated. I still have most of them.

    That’s my story and I am sticking too it.

    my favorite note is the one i just received from my daughter, who recently became a mom, making me a grandmother for the first time. it was a very sweet (long) thank you, listing all the things she and my son in law were thankful for that i did for them when i spent a month helping them when my granddaughter was born. I enjoyed every minute I was able to spend with them! 🙂

    One of my precious notes is one that my duaghter wrote to her Dad and me when she was in college. she was traveling with a summer ministries team from her Christian college. The team went to different teen camps and churches. She wrote an appreciative note thanking us for being her parents and giving her the care and counsel she often needed — as all kids do! She was working with teens who had enormous problems and she found herself grateful for her parents. I still have the note today — and she is now married and a mother of a one year old.

    I remember leaving notes for the boys. Their response, “Mom please don’t leave notes anymore, so embarrassing”. That’s boys.

    My favorite note is from my Grandmother. She sent it along time ago with a birthday card. I keep it in a meditation book and read it once in a while. She has been gone from earth for nine years. So nice to have a hand written note from our loved ones to remember them by.

    I am a one year survivor of Breast Cancer. During my darkest days, my husband would leave me notes of encouragement, like, “Lean on me.” ” I love you, hair or no hair, breast or no breast. I will always be here of you.” ” Next year at this time we will be…………” My sons would leave me notes: “Mom, it’s me, Eric. I luv u” Notes can be the brightest part of the day.

    Our family members often leave notes for one another. We commonly leave notes saying, “I’ve gone to ____. Will be back later.” In fact, when our kids were teenagers they were expected to do so if they left while we were not home, so we often found little handwritten notes. However, I think my favorite note was the one my DS left for me typed on my computer screen…. I guess he knew I’d soon find it since I spend so much time here on the computer. LOL!

    A friend of mine from out of state, is very good at sending letters, birthday cards and thank you notes. She puts me to shame, yes me the card maker! Anyway, each of her letters and notes have just the right words, she always seems to know just what to say and she does it with beautiful and consistent handwriting. I think my hand writing is what holds me back from sending out more cards, I always fear I will ruin what I just created by screwing up what I want to write. Thanks for the chance to win the set, I promise I’ll send that very friends some notes made with this set, if i win it!
