Thank You Notes: 40 Handmade Ways to Show You're Grateful

by Jan Stephenson Kelly, Amy Appleyard

Thank you SO much—for the gift, the hospitality, your help…or for just spreading a little sunshine. Expressing gratitude has never been easier, or more stunning, than with these unique handmade cards for any occasion. Incorporating everything from crochet to tin tiles, they make sending that required note a pleasure, not a chore. Every one has been beautifully crafted by a top designer, and exquisitely photographed.

Just imagine how appreciative a favorite teacher will be when she receives an adorable card fashioned from notebook paper, small alphabet rub-ons, ribbon, and flowers. Tell someone “You rock!” with a brightly-colored spinner card. And, because finding the right words is so important, there’s helpful advice on composing your own greetings or choosing the perfect quotation to adorn your handiwork.

Underwhelming designs

Goodreads is confused. This IS a book. A craft book, a reference book -- a book.

Five crafters contributed ideas for thank-yous (39 thank-you cards and one thank-you can). Half of the ideas I bookmarked were from a single contributor. The designs are simple, the instructions accessible. There's some attempt at overlap in supplies from design to design. I like that. Clear listing of all supplies used.

Some good projects to be had.
