lost in thoughts #33

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Welcome back to another edition of Lost in Thoughts. All week I’ve been inspired by and looking forward to Thanksgiving.

Today is a day for recognizing the people and things that make us happy, give us goals and ambitions, and generally improve our lives. It feels so good to think about all the wonderful things that mean something to me. I made a list of some of the things that I love and am thankful for. But it’s boring to just look at a regular old list, so I made it into a colorful word cloud.

Like many of you, I’m spending the day with my family. There will lots of food, laughter, and catching up with loved ones. I hope that all of the Americans reading are enjoying the holiday! Everybody else, I hope you’re having a beautiful day.

Today’s question: What are you thankful for this year? Did you blog about it? Please share!

Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series. I started this feature because I’m inspired by the amazing things I see on blogs and Etsy, and by family, friends, readers’ comments, and life. I don’t want to keep all of these wonderful finds to myself, so I gather them together on Thursdays to share with you.

pink merci flat card (set of 8)

You may recognize this design; in the past I used light blue paper. In this updated version, on 100% recycled white paper, the text and border are printed in bright pink.

As many of you know, “merci” is French for “thank you.” Giving thanks is so important, and it’s beautiful in every language.

The 3 1/2″ x 4 7/8″ (4 bar) design is perfect for a quick note. There’s enough room to say as much as you need. However, if you’re at a loss for words, just write a little bigger and it will look like you had a lot to say! A thank you note goes a long way, so it can never hurt to have a few on hand. This set of 8 cards and envelopes comes tied with twine.

To purchase, visit my Etsy shop or contact me.

muchas gracias folded card (set of 8)

As you know, I’ve got 6 new designs. I decided to share this one first, because I know some people are waiting for a folded thank you note set (as opposed to a flat card set).

“Muchas gracias,” the Spanish for “thank you very much,” is a great phrase; more than a simple thanks, but not over the top. Gratitude is beautiful in every language.
