I just spent an hour online this afternoon, trying to find a Winnie the Pooh thank you note.
You see, a while back, a friend (okay, it was Debra Mayhew) sent me a thank you note and I loved that thank you. I loved what it said on the outside as well as the inside. Here’s the note:
I remembered it well, but I thought it was a note card, when in fact, it was an actual thank you card. Which might account for the fact that I couldn’t find it online. Also, Debra sent me that card in 2011.
THREE years ago.
I can barely remember three hours ago, and yet I remembered that card after three years. And I finally remembered that I’d stashed it into a slot in my desk.
In the end, I ordered thank you notes that would tie in to the theme of my blog. They’re fine thank you notes, and I hope they’ll get here soon. I have a couple people I need to thank and an email just won’t do
Especially after the lesson I learned today: It truly is the thought that counts.

that is an adorable thank you card!
I know, Sally. Don’t you wish you had one? 🙂
And Cathy–the power of just a few handwritten notes to accompany the thought of a note or card is mind-boggling.
I’m sure your notes are darling.
We shall see, Sioux, but even if they aren’t great, I’m sure they’ll be fine. What a person takes the time to write inside makes all the difference! 🙂
Awwwwww…this just made my day! I might have to send another thank you… 🙂
If you find those cards, Deb, let me know! 🙂
There is something so special about a hand-written thank you, isn’t there?
Absolutely, Julie!
Aw, I love Pooh. And thank-you notes cannot be overrated. It isn’t all that common to receive one these days, so when you do, it means a lot.
Yes, it’s a dying art, the written thank you. But definitely much appreciated when one shows up, Lisa!
It is a special treat to receive a hand written thank you. Pooh makes it a plus!
I have some Pooh pics that I’m going to frame and put in the office. My favorite is, “As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was about to happen.” Particularly appropriate for you, Linda! 🙂
Love this post, Cathy C! Yep, there’s nothing like a handwritten note, and even if it’s written on a paper napkin….as long as the thought is there! (I have a couple of those, by the way!) …and this just reminded me of a new site I heard about. I’ll have to dig out the business card and I’ll e-mail ya!
Oh, yes, please! And this weekend, I came across a Christmas card you’d sent–the one with all the Christmas books. I love that card, Becky P.! 🙂
I sure will….and Awww, I’m glad you saw it again and that you liked it so much! 🙂
I think I’m going to do something fantastic for you so that I can get one of the new THEMED note cards.
Luvboxers, that’s me Margo. I’m not sure why it’s coming up as that but here I am and I LOVE BOXER DOGS! 🙂
Margo, I knew that was you. 🙂 And you don’t have to do anything fantastic to get a thank you. Pretty much just being you deserves a thank you. 🙂
