more bird things...

Extra-Ordinary

you are...you're not.

For the last few months I've been meaning to make the time to make a card for my sisters best friend. My sister got married in August and even though she didn't have a technical Maid of Honor Katie and I really shared the duties. She did one heck of a job and I've just been meaning to tell her how great she is and find out if she was still able to enjoy herself even though she was in charge of so much the day of. Today was the day. She is indeed "my favorite." Also sending one off to our friends in Boston who's wedding we missed over the summer and have yet to check in with. They are also very much our "favorites."

A little bird thing told me...

It's been a while since I sent my Grandma a letter. I shouldn't need an excuse but her landing in the hospital with a little bout of pneumonia gave me the kick in the pants that I needed. Maybe I'll send her something new once a week to make up for everything.

You are one of my nicest thoughts.

A friend of mine recently underwent some minor surgery. She didn't stick around the loud, dirty city to recuperate, but instead went home with her mother to their lovely get-a-way upstate. Since i haven't been able to see her yet she's been on my mind a lot lately. So i decided to make her a little card just to let her know how much i love her and that i've been thinking about her.

I used one of my new favorite quotes that i stole from another card. "You are one of my nicest thoughts". I had a stack of these great little 3 1/2 inch square envelopes which was sort of the inspiration. Covered some chip board with colorful paper and a button to top it off. While i was at it i made one for my parents and my sister and her new husband, who are also always on my mind.

Can't wait for them to enjoy the home made snail mail!
