    love this set!
    My favorite notes are from my kid’s. So unexpected! I love to slip little notes in my kid’s lunch bag’s, even though they are 10 and 15, I think they like the little reminder that they are still my ‘little one’s’.
    Hope to take one of your classes when you are in my area.Your creativity alway’s inspires me.

    Hello,

    My favorite card creation so far is a tri-fold shutter card that I made for a special guy for his birthday. It used tangerine tango CS, with some fall-colored DP, some cuttlebug-embossed CS that I embellished with a sakura clear glitter pen. I used some nestabilities circles, and the only embellishments were some fall-colored maple leafs on top of the homemade textured glitter paper. I was really proud of this card, I have lots to learn in cardmaking but as long as I’m seeing improvement, then I’m happy.

    I appreciate all that I learn from seeing the beautiful creations on your site.

    Thanks,

    Joanne

    Probably one of my all-time favorite notes was left by my adult daughter (20-something) when she was here from CA visiting. My husband and I were down in our basement working out and we didn’t know that our daughter was sitting on the top step listening to our conversations. My husband made some comment about how cute I looked using the treadmill with my “sexy” red nitie on and then at some point I went from the treadmill to the weight bench and made a comment about the particular “thing” that I was doing with the hand weights (I couldn’t remember the exact term). Well anyways, days went by and my daughter left to head back to CA and we discovered an envelope that she left addressed to “Mom and Dad” and inside were three note-size pieces of paper with various comments about our conversations and one of them was “Mom, I’m sure you looked cute in that nitie when you were working out, but it’s not really appropriate attire, and then she goes on to say “and those things that you were doing on the weight bench were flys not curls.” I made her a scrapbook a couple of years ago for her birthday and included the littles notes that she left for us.

    A favorite note that I have received came from a parent of a former student. I’m a teacher and received a note from a parent letting me know what a difference I made in teaching their child. It was nice to receive a positive note from a parent. If you have a child in school right now, I encourage you to write that teacher a positive note. We rarely receive them and who doesn’t like a note of appreciation once in a while? Thanks for the wonderful blog candy and the fabulous stamping inspiration! Your blog is definitely one of my faves!!!

    Thank you so much for your daily ideas. They are so inspiring!
    I work with weight loss surgery patients before and after surgery. Their gratitude after being successful with both losing excess weight and keeping it off is astounding! I so enjoy receiving notes from them stating, “You’ve changed my life…I have a life now, and I didn’t have one before surgery! Thank you so much!” I thank God that I am so lucky to work in a program that is so fulfilling every single day!

    I’ve saved all the notes my husband left for me when we were first married. It’s a second marriage for both of us, so he’s very much cherished along with the notes.

    Michelle,
    Oh, how I would love this set. I am teaching a free class at a women’s retreat and would to have this set. I would love the ladies to make a note to self notebook. Soo glad to see that you are giving it away.

    I hope you are having a fantastic time in Ok.

    My favorite note to give is anything I’ve spent too many hours on and sending it to my girlfriend in Denver who loves to stamp but doesn’t have enough time to stamp. She is always most appreciative and makes me feel like my effort was worth it and that it made her feel special!

    Thanks

    I would have to say my favorite note is one my husband left for me just a few months ago. He went out of town for a business class. When I pulled down the cover, there was a little note on my pillow from him….. It was great.

    When I made lunches for my husband I would leave notes in it telling him to have a good day at work. One day I found a note for me in my lunch — it was a little 1×1 inch flip book that would draw out “I love you” and a heart. I thought it was the cutest thing!

    Thank you for the chance to win this set, and keep up the great work!

    I think one of the best notes I ever received was the one from you saying I was enrolled in your class when you came to Castro Valley, California, in September. I learned so much that day! I have used my brayer a few times and really enjoy the results I am getting. Thanks for a great learning adventure!

    Fifteen years ago my husband gave me a note tha said. Marcy, Your time has come, I know you will make the best of it. I’m proud of you for making it happen. This was givne to me when I took the job with MDA. This year my VP sent a note stating the years keep clicking by and your consistency continues to amaze me. This is a tough job and you continue to provide great custumer service with a smile.
    I feel blessed and encouraged when I read these.

    That’s a tough one, I can’t think of a favorite note. I do have some old letters because they contain recipes I’ve kept. Some of them are over twenty years old and I love going back and rereading them. Reminds me of a time gone by. I also love the fact I can keep making the treasured recipes as well 🙂

    My favorite note, to this day, is a letter than my mom sent me one summer. I was spending it with my Grandparents in Florida and she was home in CT. I was (and still am) totally into gaming and always tried to get her to play. While I was gone she decided to try The Legend of Zelda (original one…) and I can still remember her letter chronicleing where she was in the game. So Cute!

    My most favourite notes were the ones my dad (now deceased) used to put into my lunch bag when I was young. He always drew a little guy peaking out over the wall and I still have kept one of those notes, 45 years later….I need to go and look at it again.

    My favorite notes where the ones my mother would write when I lived in Indiana and they lived in Ohio. Sometimes my dad would even sign his name – he wasn’t much for expressing feelings so those were the real special ones! Thanks for asking!

    My favorite note was one included in my 30th birthday card from my parents. My mom usually picks out a funny card, but for a change the one she gave me that year was sentimental with a verse about a mother watching her daughter get older. And the note inside said, “This expresses everything I feel, but I’ve never had the words to say…Love Mom”. I’ve kept it and every now and then, take it out and read it. Still makes me cry!

    How I love to send handmade notes of encouragement to friends and family to share with them how much God loves them and is providing for their needs.

    I also receive very special notes which I hang on the door of my craft room. These notes from my family and friends encourage me as they remind me of those who love me. I have special pictures posted there from those small grandchildren who cannot as yet write.

    I have made some of my cards using your gorgeous ideas. They bless me, and I am sure they also bless others. Thank you for your wonderful ideas.

    Blessings,

    My favorite notes come from husband. Recently, he took the time to go through my stamp sets to find several “love themed” images and selected coordinating ink colors to stamp a simple I Love You note. He really put some thought and time into it.

    He writes me little one or two line notes often, but this one end with a “PS: I cleaned your stamps properly too!” Yes…the thought had crossed my mind.

    He’s soooooo sweet and knows me well. Even when I don’t think he’s paying attention, he often does notice.

    I keep all of his notes, and some day I’m going to scrap them in a book just for me!
