    My favorite notes have to be the ones my youngest daughter has sent me over the years. She decorates her notes with all sorts of little drawings and smilies that are so typical of her. The best ones are her cartoon strips. She creates entire stories with stick figures that are so expressive they are impressive. I’ve been saving her notes for years and when she’s grown with kids of her own I plan to take them out and show them to her so we can have a good laugh and a warm mother-daughter moment.

    My favourite note was left on my bed side table when my 7 year old grand son went home after staying with me for a few days ‘dear nan, read this when you are lonely and you will know how much I love you xoxoxo” not only did it make me cry but i cherish this note more than any i have ever received.
    thanks for giving me a chance of winning this set.

    I have received many notes over the years, from my children, my students, my mom, my siblings, and my hubby too. One of the sweetest notes I received from my husband was one a short time after we got married. It was a very simple note- on a post it note- but all that was on there was a big hand drawn smiley face, and the words : “Love Ya” ~B~. I have that on my dresser to look at often.

    My favorite note was from my mother. I had left my home town to begin my new life with my husband. My mother and I never lived farther than an hour away from each other and relocating from Northern California to Southern California is the farthest away from each that we have ever been. One day I received a package in the mail, my mother sent me a super sweet, tear jerking card and inside of it was a refrigerator magnet which read, “Wherever you are, near or far, you are in my heart.” The magnet was shaped like a bird house complete with a mommy and baby bird. Even though it’s been 10 years and I’m only 800 miles away I have the beautiful gift my mom gave me posted on my computer desk so that I can glance at it and feel like my mom has given me a big hug.

    My favorite notes are ones I send to people anonymously. What fun! For instance, I subscribe to a daily e-mail devotional and over the years have become acquainted with the writer and his family via these e-mails. I have sent a number of notes and cards to this husband/wife, yet have never even met them. They know me only by my closing words of “your Sister in Christ from Greeley, CO”.

    My Mom and I always had a special way of leaving notes, we both loved cookbooks, so we would buy each other a little cookbook of some kind and then put cute NOTES with pictures and the date in the front of the book…she died a few years ago, but everytime I open one of those cookbooks, it’s like she’s still here with me, I sure do miss her!

    My hubby and I have written so many notes to each other. The first note he ever wrote me was to ask if I would be his girlfriend, we were in 7th grade. I didn’t become his girlfriend til we both turned 16 our sophmore year in High School. =) He was very sweet. We’ve been together ever since. So Dec. 12th makes 12 years we’ve been together. I love notes, I still sometimes will write him a little note and stick it in his wallet so he’ll find it when he reaches for some money. 🙂

    Sweet, silly, stupid little notes are gifts of love. My DH leaves me notes in his Levi pockets so I can find them when doing laundry. Yes, I check all the pockets to see what he has left me. But my favorite note from him is a note he wrote on a piece of waxed paper and wrapped my lunch in it. He etched it with his fingernail because he couldn’t make any ink stick to it. Yep it brought a tear and yep, I still have it.

    My most favorite note would be one given to be from my stepson, on it he wrote in his very best cursive writing he was only 9 then and I have been with him since he was 5, Cory is his name, he wrote” love you mom and dad”, I have it framed in my room. I have been his best mom he says ever(their mom doesn’t come around but rarely, very rarely. My favorite note written would be the ones I leave in the kids lunches telling that I lovem

    The best note, was actually a card my parents and sister gave me when my hubby and I were going through a rough patch. I felt like a failure. They reminded me that marriage was dealing with the ups and downs -> together and not laying blame. Well, it brought me out of my funk and reminded me that they will always have my back. And this past June we celebrated 14 years of marriage. Family can be a pain at times, but they are always a blessing!

    As with so many other mom’s (and wives) I have always put notes in lunches, on pillows in pockets or where ever they might find them. These were all sent with little bits of encouragement, love or humor, and my children (and husband) always felt just a little special when reading them. When one of my daughters was a teenager and we had been going through some difficult times she sent me a note that said “I know you have always been there for me, thank-you. I will always love you Mom”. It still gets to me when ever I think about that note.

    Thank you for sharing with us.

    I received a note from a friend whose husband is very ill. I have been sending them cards every week and she wrote to tell me she never really understood the hoopla surrounding card-making until they were on the receiving end and now she wants to get into the group. She said she has them all displayed around her house and can’t throw them away.

    I often leave little cards and notes for my kids in their lunch or waiting for them in their bedroom. My favorite note is from when both kids drew me a picture and left it in my bag I take every day. It was a great way to start the day!

    Good morning Michelle,

    I just love it every time I see your projects pop up in my inbox – so much fun seeing what you are up to. I have used some of your projects with my ladies, while teaching class and they love them all.

    My favorite recent note was actually a quick card for a friend in the hospital asking if she thought the hospital would allow a slumber party – after all it’s not like they don’t have any beds, blankets and pillows!!

    Thank you for offering this cute little set as blog candy – who knows, I may get lucky and win this

    My favorite note is a note of thanks from mother. We have always had a very special relationship which has now taken on new meaning since she will be 85 this month. I rearranged my work schedule so we have one special day together with each other every Monday. We both look forward to it and always enjoy each others company.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win this set.

    My husband works in the same school system as I do but I’m a teacher and he’s a plumber so I stay in one place and he goes to different places all day long. Occasionally, he would be in my building, but I wouldn’t be in my room or I would be working in another classroom. I would often see a little “bunny” drawn in the corner of my board. Or I would get a picture of this little bunny in my mailbox. The bunny would say “I love you this much”. That is my favorite note.

    My favorite note so far is the note my younger stepson wrote inside his Christmas card to me last year. He thanked me for being his stepmom and told me he felt I was more of a mother than his real mom had been to him over the last 13 years. I cried when I read it, especially as I have so often felt like I was still the outsider and that he just tolerated me, which was the most I had hoped for. I will always treasure that note.

    My favorite note was not one that was written to me. It was written by my now deseased Mum to my best freind, Jean, in Canada. I had taken my up to Mum up to Canada to have lunch with my friend and her very elderly Mother.

    Years later, on one of my friend’s visits, she gave me an envelope and in it was the Thank You note my mother had written, thanking her for the lovely time she had had that day with her Mum.

    One of my favorite notes that I have framed in my bedroom is from my son. He was in kindergarten at the time and learning to write. Certain letters were a bit confusing (what side does the lines go on??) . For mothers day that year – he drew me a picture and wrote “Haggy Mother’s Day” He was so proud of it and I didn’t say anything then – but now we laugh about it.

    my favourite note is one my husband left for me when I was feeling really down about myself. It was just a simple note, all it said was “I want to help you see yourself as I see you.”

    He gave that to me about 9 years ago. It’s still on my dresser today.

    Notes are such a wonderful way to communicate, whether they’re just a few words or long & chatty — is it still a note then? My most recent favorite came from my cousin (a transplant from Arizona & now living in Minnesota). She wrote, “Little balls of hate are falling from the sky.” Yes, we were having an October snowfall that delighted kids & skiers, but left others quite dismayed. Note to self: Treasure the day.
