Hi Maggie
I love hand made thank you cards too! It always make me feel good when I receive a card that someone has taken time out to make specially for me ... so thank you for sharing how you are teaching this nice tradition.
It would be lovely to see some pictures of your cards or the ones your kids have made ... visitors to this site get such inspiration from seeing other people's ideas in pictures!
Incidentally, I've just posted a new page on hand made Christmas cards as we gear up for Christmas ... I hope you enjoy it. And please keep your great ideas coming!
