    My favorite note came from a music student of mine who posted on facebook that
    I had changed her life…my goodness! what an affirmation for a teacher! This has prompted me to send notes to express my appreciation of those who have touched my life. This set would make some wonderful notes!

    I like to send notes to someone for no reason (like birthday, holiday, etc.) and think about the smile they will have on their face when they get “fun mail” in their mailbox.
    I have been looking at this particular set, please add me to the pot for the drawing! Thanks Michelle.

    I am a teacher also. This year has started out tough for one of my students. Her mother wrote and told me how grateful she was to have me on her side and the fact I would support and fight for her child was very important to her. This made my day…I am so grateful for notes like that! A few crumbs keep me going. kt

    My son just turned seven, and he loves writing us poems and putting the under our pillows. My daughter does the same with pictures.

    Count me in on this blog candy. Now that I’m a senior citizen, I have notes all over the house telling me what to do and where something is. Plus I leave notes for my senior citizen hubby telling him what to do (let’s not go there) and so on. Without notes to self, I couldn’t function! Carol

    When my husband travels on business, he leaves little notes all over the house to encourage me while he’s away. This set caught my eye and I’d love to add it to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.

    My favourite note would be from my 8 year old. She wrote me a note and slipped it in my handbag without me knowing. I was having one of those days where I just felt “bleuch” and I found the note it said “Mummy you are beautiful, you are the best Mum in the whole world, Love Abbey xoxoxo” It picked up my day immensley and I still have it in my purse for those “bleuch” days to pick me up.

    My fav note is from my MIL.
    She wrote to tell my husband and I what a wonderful job we did on raising two beautiful and caring daughters.
    If I had this note set I would send out more notes to friends and family to remind them i am thinking of them.

    I don’t have a favorite note in particular but I am a saver and I have all the birthday cards and letters from special people in my life, some who have passed. I love to get them out now and then and read them. Some make me cry, but they give me good memories.

    My favorite note was from my husband left year inviting me to join him for a weekend at the beachfront. It was so romantic and I of course saved it to cherish for many years to come. Being in our fifties just goes to show that you can be romantic at any age!!!

    My husband’s Aunt Sylvia made simple but very beautiful notes with a small tatted flower and a handdrawn stem and leaves in green ink. Aunt Sylvia died many years ago but I remain impressed! Thanks for sharing your talents every day and for the chance to win some blog candy.

    Every little note I receive from my husband is so sweet.

    And when I have to be away from home, I try to leave a little love note under his pillow.

    We have been married going on 26 years and we are still so in love and are best friends. I am blessed.

    I have notes that my husband (then boyfriend) left on the windshield of my car when we were teenagers. He had to be at work very early (5:30) and on his way he would leave a note on my car windshield telling me to have a great day and that he loved me.
    He was a keeper…so I married him!

    How can one single out that special note? I have been blessed with many ( which I have squirreled away for days when might be down and need a pick-me -up) but one which stands out, is a thank you from a now “in Heaven” dear friend, who wrote to thank me for being the encouragement she needed when days were so hard, she did not know if she could go on. She sat next to me in choir, and I never knew life was that bad for her. But evidently, God used me to say the right things, and it helped her through the worst of times. That has to be one of special ones…….along with so many that I cherish.

    My favorite notes have always been from my husband. From the simple “go get them tiger” when I was having a bad week to the much appreciated notes when he was on annual training (most notably his month in Egypt). It’s a relief to know your other half is safe when they are far away. He retired from the reserves a few years ago (to many jumps with a 60 pound ruck on his back) so I no longer have to worry about my guy – just all the others who are out there defending our rights.
    Thanks for bringing this to mind, Michelle!

    My favorite note is the one that Santa Claus sends to my daughter every year. He is sure to talk about the high lights of the past year and mention the ways that he sees her helping out around the house or being a good friend to others. She is always so excited to get them and she simply glows for days. I am going to be sad when she no longer believes in Santa.

    In scrapping I am just learning to journel and this will really help because of the beauty. In my everyday life, I love to send special “just because” cards each day to special people and YOU have helped me with that…and I thank you. I love to leave notes in my special cards to someone that is having a bad day and not sign my name…this picks them up (and me also)!! The scrolling would add such a wonderful touch.

    My best “note memory” was when a boy I had a HUGE crush on in junior high wrote me a note that he liked me & slipped it into my locker. What a fun find that was when I opened my locker the next time. it’s been 30 years, but I remember it like yesterday!

    My most favorite note received came from my sister. She sent a beautiful card she had made at one of your workshops! Wow, do you inspire us all with your creations. You have a wonderful artistic gift. It is so nice to receive notes from my sisters and friends. I frame some of the creative treasures I receive. Then I can enjoy them for years (or months) to come.

    The most recent note that I wrote was to my grandson ……after his high school football team lost in the quarter-final playoffs…..in quadruple overtime. He was so sad that they lost…….and I wanted him to know how proud were are of him and that “win or lose” he is still #1 to us.

    Hhhhmmm….I don’t have 1 favorite note. But, when my hubby and I were dating, he used to leave me notes in the most unusual places!!! We lived together before we married (gasp!!!), and it did take some creativity for him to be able to hide them as our house was rather small. I have them stashed all over the place (moved once since then) and find them, randomly, from time to time. Where did that sweet, romantic guy go??? If anyone finds him…please send him home!!!

    I love leaving notes for myself, as I would forget things if I didn’t. But love when hubby leaves me little notes also. After 26 years, it doesn’t happen as often as it use to, but once in a while.

    I put notes for my kids in everything that I can so that it will put a smile on there face or give them a chuckle when they read them when they were kids. Now I will put a note on there car or at the apartment/house to let them know that I miss them or just let them know that I am thinking about them. Now my youngiest does the same thing and boy does that brighten the day when she does. I have found that even the smallest of thoughts makes everyones day much brighter. And it will even brighten someones day when they are not even having a good day. A girl friend of mind called me one day to say that my note made such a difference in her horrible day, that it was a joy to read and really made a bad day go away.

    When I was working, when someone from another dept went out of their way to help me, I would stamp a note thanking them. I would see my notes to them posted on their bulletin boards. Such a small thing would please one.
