I think the origami is terrific - loved receiving mine. And bookmarks. But really, people shouldn't feel the need to include anything but kind words and a good story!

Since InCoWriMo coincides with Valentine's Day (kinda), I've been tucking a few origami hearts in my letters!
Some lucky few are getting leftover 1st grade "boy" valentines and Snoopy Love stickers.
And pink inks.
'Tis the season.
Well now this is a brilliant idea! The last of my letters will have some tuck ins! I am crafting some today!!
Somebody is getting two lamy safari nibs when the mail goes out monday. :D
I've been putting in pretty journal cards with quotes on them, and today I put a bookmark in one because the person collects them. :)
Mine, too. I forgot.
Hmmm...do I slack off today, or pick someone at random?
Dreck I am a fellow grammar enthusiast. On Friday morning I walked into work and into the cafeteria for some tea. The lunch specials were written on a whiteboard. I tactfully told the lone gentleman working that "cannelloni" was spelled wrong (no e and only one l). He was very good about it and fixed it right away. I'm a technical editor and I simply can't help myself. I always worry about being thought rude but really most people are happy when I point out errors. Or at least that's what they say to my face LOL ;)
Yes, didn't you know? Everyone took the day off!
We've having Presidential Cake after the parade. We've got the Oval Office Tree decorated and the goose is roasting now. The neighbors are coming over to play pin the tail on the donkey/elephant and afterwards we'll sing patriotic songs.
I've written all my President's Day Cards and they're ready to post tomorrow.
:)
Presidential Cake ?
Did someone say cake?
Imaginerhetoric sorry I didn't reply sooner. A Journal Card or Journal Tag is a smallish piece of cardstock decorated with words or images that can be written on and mounted in your journal. They are very popular with the scrapbooking and Project Life crowd (neither of which interest me) and I got two big packages of them for Christmas. I guess the author of a journal blog would love journal cards! I must say I don't put them in my journal so I've been at a loss for a use for them, until InCoWriMo and folks started talking about tuck-ins. They are perfect for quotes and hopefully people like them. If you google images for journal cards you will see hundreds of examples. :)
