'thank yous'

With the holiday season over, I've been receiving a few lovely thank you notes. Its always fun to get mail, and while these may not be the most fun to write, they are nice to receive. Seeing the fun designs of cards made me file away several ideas in my inspiration sketchbook. I thought I would share two favorites in this photo.

What about you, are you still writing thank you notes? Also, on a semi-related note this Slate article talks about the trouble we all have coming up with intelligent things to say in such notes, give it a read so you can make a good excuse why you didn't thank anyone this year.

What is this?

We are best buds who have been relying on the postal system to keep us connected for years. In October 2008, we decided to take this to another level and an artistic challenge was made: Create and send two cards a month. There were no other rules and no other expectations. The goal was simple - to stay in touch and to stay connected to our creative selves (despite unartistic professions). Years later, we are still at it and have the unambitious goal of continuing until we are old women. In this blog, we will post last year's cards and provide a glimpse into our friendship, lives and creative process. Welcome!
