    This one is hilarious…you’ll love it. right after you were here in columbia doing the workshop, i was on splitcoast and saw a really neat brayered card with mailboxes and so i clicked on it and it was michelle from fenton, mo that had attended the advanced workshop. i left her a little note stating how much i liked her card. about two days later, that very card came in the mail to me. she wrote in her card that it was very ironic that I had commented on her brayered card, because she made it to send to me to thank me for hosting your workshop! How funny. I have it displayed in my room right along with your wonderful card and the creations from that workshop. 🙂

    My favorite note is the one I left in my daughter’s backpack the night before she started middle school. She was so nervous so I made her a card based on the colors of one of her notebooks and wrote her a note about being herself. She found it in her backpack the next day at school. She loved it!

    My favorite note I ever got was from my grandmother. I idolize her and her ability to be the most gracious host. She sent me a note telling me how proud she was of me and the Christmas dinner I hosted at my house. She is 87 years old and still going strong! I want to be her when I grow up!

    Hi, Michelle, brayerist extraordinaire.

    One of the notes I enjoyed doing the most was years ago to my elementary school music teacher, telling her how much the work she did with the music program had enriched my life and gave me such joy in school. She was wonderful!

    I would say my favorite notes are the ones my husband & daughters would leave me randomly around the house, telling me they love me or to just have a great day. My husband still does & my daughters are grown, & phone calls have replaced the notes from them!
    Michelle, your blog, creations, & tutorials are wonderful!! I look forward to seeing what u create next!

    You are so good to us! I have to say that my favorite notes are those my daughter wrote for me when she was little. Small children are so good at expressing themselves when they draw or write. Now that she is a teenager and wouldn’t write her mom a note if her life depended on it, it is nice to have those from when she was little!

    Notes for no reason are the best ones to get. I went on a card making binge one weekend and numbered a bunch of cards and then hid them thru out my house for my husband to stumble upon. Months later they turn up when least expected and I cant even remember where I have hidden them all. He gets a little giggle when they turn up execpt when glitter was left all over socks from hiding out at the bottom of that drawer for awhile

    Hi, Michelle-

    I’ve send jar of jam this morning to my friend with a note.
    I’ve used my own hand writing, but would love to have stamp for that kind of occasion. This is a great set. I hope I win this time.

    Thank you, Olga

    This is so funny. My DH was at the police academy and I sent him little notes. Well on was a postcard and on the front it said my toes miss your toes. Well with this you had a bed and of course two set of feet. Little did I know that the police instructor would read anything on the front of letters and such!!! Boy, was my husband embrassed. He is very ridged with things like that, so a big surprise for him. Though he loved the card and still uses that saying to this day after 17 years of marriage. I love giving him notes in his briefcase today. Thanks for letting me share and for the Blog Candy-love the set.

    My favorite note is from a lady who I really didn’t know all that well. I saw her sitting outside my college classes one day and I knew that she would be waiting their for her daughter for some time. So, I brought her a coke to drink. She sent me a “thank you” and I’ve carried it in my Bible ever since. I take it out from time to time and read it again and it reminds me to be thoughtful.

    I have been a note writer all my life, from sneaking notes to BFF’s in grade school to writing notes to myself – reminding me what to pick up at the grocery store.
    My favorite note was in 10th grade, I wrote on my boyfriends locker – in lipstick..I love you. Then found out I wrote on the wrong one.. his was the one next to the one I wrote on. But I married the guy and 40 happy years later, we still talk fondly of that note.
    Thanks for sharing your talent and the chance to win that cute set.. as always, Sue

    When I was little, my mom would always write a note that she would put in my lunch box. It was a trill for me to open in every time to see what she had written. Sometimes it was long and sometime short but it always made me feel special that she was tacking the time to do it EVERYDAY.

    Oh my gosh Michelle, there have been 427 responses to your blog candy already. How famous you are!! I know your techniques/cards/projects are awesome; that’s why I visit your blog all the time and of course pick up all kinds of tips on how to brayer and stamp. Thank you more than you know for sharing with us as I know how much time you must put aside for this. And now in response to my favorite note I have received. I absolutely cannot tell you of “one.” I do have to tell you that I treasure all notes to me because people just don’t send anything in the mail anymore like they used to and I so miss that. And my notes I treasure the most are all the ones I received from my mother. If anybody would have told me that prior to her passing, I would have looked at them like they were daffy. But there is no amount of money that you could pay to get these from me now. They are truly priceless. So take note: send notes to all you love on a regular basis. They will treasure them forever more than you know.

    My favorite note was from my Mom on Valentine’s Day 1984. I was in school in TN and was feeling blue. I went to the Post office and discovered my Mom had sent me a box of goodies – inside was a note she wrote – that she and Daddy loved me and missed me. I was could not wait to call her and thank her.

    Coincidentally, I put a love note in my husband’s sandwich this morning. I wrote on a Post-It Note and slipped it in between the meat and cheese. I know, it sounds unsanitary, but he loves those types of surprises. And to my knowledge – he’s never swallowed the paper yet!

    My favorite notes are the little ones that DH leaves for me. He goes out of town every week for several days, and doesn’t leave a note each time, but when he does, they are ‘just for my eyes’! Sometimes I’ll find one on the back of the bathroom door, or when I pull down my bedding, there will be one on my pillow, or in the shower….He leaves me little gifts that way now and then as well! Thanks for the chance to win, and I have enjoyed reading everyone’s comments! Safe travels!

    Hmmm…. how could I have missed seeing this stamp set? It’s too cute! It’s so hard to think of just one note that is my favorite, but I absolutely love to look at the notes and cards that my daughter gave to me when she was little. She’s 20 years old right now and not into sending or writing notes. I guess that’s part of the bad side of things like Facebook. But I will always treasure the notes that she wrote in her little handwriting. Adorable!

    As I get older, I use notes all the time. I need them to help me remember! :>) This set would be soooo cute to have some made up, and have them in my purse for those fast notes that need to be written. My favorite notes are from my children and their expressions of love and appreciation of all the things my husband and I have done for them over the years. Thanks for including me in your drawing.

    My most memerable note was to my husband a few day after we first met that was taken and kept by someone else, his best friend. A few days after we met I had seen his room mate and asked why I hadn’t been around and I said that Jeff hadnt called and couldnt coz he didn’t have my number…so I gave a note to him to give to Jeff that said “If you want to, give me a call sometime”. A month later while driving down the road, Jeff flagged me over and asked why I hadn’t came around and I told him that he didnt call so I thought he didnt want to see me. He then told me that he didnt have my number. I told him that about a month earlier I had given it to his room mate, Mike. So he asked me out and that night we waited for his room mate to come home….Mike walked in and see me and went white as a ghost. Jeff asked him if he had something to give him from me, and Mike laughed nervously and said “Oh yes, its in my wallet”. 27 years later we are still teasing Mike about keeping my number!

    Hi Michelle!
    What a faboulous set you offer! How fun!
    Here is my note memory for the blog candy:
    When I was in the 3rd 4th grade, there was a cute little boy with strawberry blond hair cut in a crew cut in my class. He was so cute! He smiled all the time, and he had a cute little laugh! I thought I would be brave, and send him a note:
    Check yes or no if you love me! I passed the note to Marty. He sent it back to me!
    He answered with a yes!!
    I was thrilled! I will never forget the surprise I had that he checked yes! I had anticipated a no, because all little guys and little girls at that age think each other have cooties! It was a memory I will never forget!

    I recently moved from a home I’d lived in for 30 years to a newly remodeled home. I was determined to clean out the clutter & be selective about what I moved with me. One thing I could not part with was an organizer book I have filled with special notes, cards, letters, etc. from family & friends over the past 30 years of my marriage. My kids are 24 & 28 & I still have notes they left me with a variety of messages written in “little people” handwriting. These are some of my most cherished possessions & of course they were moved & put in a place of safekeeping. Modern technology & emails are ok & I enjoy getting them from friends. But nothing can beat a handwritten note…..no matter how young or old the writer is. Thank you for entering me for a chance to win!!

    My favorite giving/receiving notes were actually from high school. We got a little group of us girls together to basically give each other encouragement every day, so we’d slip little notes like – you rock; or thanks for “xx” – in each others lockers to keep us motivated and up to make it through some rough times.
