Thank You! Have you written it lately?

Another good thing to do: brighten someone's day with a handwritten note recognizing their efforts.

Receiving a handwritten note these days is a big deal, and I end up squirreling them away in my desk somewhere after reading and displaying them for a week or so. 

With the extra time we have at home right now, this would be a great time to write a note or two.  I have a Medium Gathering Basket full of notecards I used to send to congratulate my Longaberger team members.  Now I need to send them to others.

I have an older friend who is unable to leave home and only sees her grumpy son.  I try to call her occasionally, but I need to send her a note.  One of my former students is now writing for the local newspaper and doing it well.  I need to send him a note.  There are a few politicians I should thank. I need to send them a note. Of course, this could all be done with an email, but it's kind of fun to get something personal delivered by the US Postal Service.  Especially if you already have notecards you need to use. As this box of thank-you notes suggested, "Stay Connected; Make Someone's Day; Give Thanks."


The 1986 Medium Gathering Basket above is signed by Dave Longaberger and his daughter Tami and is one of the few stationary-handle baskets I own.  I had not even heard of Longaberger in 1986.  I love the Medium Gathering Basket and have at least 7, most offered as limited-time feature baskets with different stain and weave variations.  You need at least one of this truly versatile basket.
