Send Green Thank You Letters
About this time each year, our family likes to sit down and write thank you letters. There’s so much to be thankful for, and we really like to reach out to friends and family. But you know us. Just like most holiday traditions, we’ve brought a green twist to our thank you card writing. Yep. We completely skip the pen and paper.
We send personal digital thank yous. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, we’ve taken to candid photos of ourselves actually using the gifts that person has given us.

Check out this tutorial for making your own digital thank you notes. (It seems we get just as many thank yous back from people who get the digital pictures of us loving our gifts as we send out. Gotta love it.)

What a great idea!! I think most people that give me gifts would prefer an electronic thank you anyway – we all have too much stuff!!
(My grandparents on the other hand? They need a handwritten note. Promptly. Haha.)

That is a great idea, except I have several relatives who don’t have internet. Yes I know, dark ages, but I still have to send them snail mail.
love you, hope you had a great Christmas and will have a great New Year.

I love this idea! It would be great for my kids too since they are too little to write their own thank yous!

Great idea! I agree with the others that there are older members of my extended family who don’t use computers or email who need a handwritten note. But for the younger generation, it works!

I love this idea! And the photos of you using the items are great. Thanks. I’m wishing I’d come across it sooner as all my thank yous are addressed and awaiting stamps!! On an unrelated note, I just worked on my neglected blog and realized you commented a long time back. Thanks for stopping in and sorry about my silent response. Happy New Year!

My Katie-girl! I’m so happy you found me. I can’t believe you were just link-hopping and landed on my blog – that is so exciting. I had no idea you were so handy. The stuff on your site is wonderful, and it’s great to see your smiling face. Love ya!
