Before we know it the Holidays will be completely over. Families will have had their parties, Christmas carols will have been sung, Christmas dinners eaten and all of the presents will have been opened.</p>
<p>This is the time when we get a week to relax before New Year’s. Slow things down, spend some time in the snow and the kids playing with their new toys.</p>
<p>This means it is also time to start writing out our <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">thank you note cards</a>.</p>
<p>It is that time where we sit down and thank everyone for all the generous and thoughtful gifts we got this season.</p>
<p>This year, order your thank you note cards early. Customize your <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">thank you cards</a> for your family.</p>
<p>Check out or family stationery. Choose a custom monogram for your <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1"title="" >thank you cards</a>.</p>
<p>Finally choose your paper color and have your <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">thank you stationery</a> printed or embossed.</p>
<p>After your custom stationery has arrived sit down with the kids and have them write their own <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">thank you</a> notes. Let them write a personalized message, teach them how to address an envelope and to put the stamp on the card.</p>
<p>This will really make them appreciate their gifts more and it’s a great activity for the family to do together.</p>
<p>Have fun with your <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">Thank You Cards</a> and shop <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com">Giftsin24.com</a> <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/"title="" >Personalized Stationery</a> today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/jake-perry.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6032" style="margin: 3px;" title="jake-perry" src="http://www.giftsin24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/jake-perry-300x228.jpg" alt="jake-perry-personalized-stationery" width="300" height="228" /></a><br />
Jake, Perry and Sadie. Those are the names of the three things we love most in this world, they are our three mischievous dogs. All three are rescue pets. It all started when my husband Frank found Sadie on the street, no tags and nowhere to go. We thought Sadie needed a friend so we went to a few local pet shelters, but we didn&#8217;t find the dog for us. Next we tried the internet, a wonderful site called <a href="http://www.petfinder.com/index.html">Petfinder.com</a>. We searched in locally, nothing. We searched all of Illinois and then broadened our search. We finally found him. He was the perfect dog and he was just waiting for us to adopt him in Indiana. Frank and I took the three and a half hour drive to the farm he was living on. We signed the papers and put him in the truck. Jake, formerly Jack, the sat on my lap the entire way home the only thing he brought with him was the smell of the farm.</p>
<p>At the time we were living on the third floor of a one bedroom condo. After resiliently getting him through the front entry he would not go up the stairs. It never dawned on me that he had never been inside a house or walked up stairs. I quickly panicked thinking “what have I done”, he is a fifty five pound lab chow mix, there was no way to carry him up. After a few minutes he ran, straight to the very top of the stairs at that point I new everything was going to be ok.</p>
<p>Jake turned out to be an amazing dog, we couldn&#8217;t have been luckier. We took photos of him and his new sister Sadie, wrote a <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">thank you card</a> and sent it to the family that let us adopt him. we were truly grateful.</p>
<p>I was going to introduce Perry, but she is quite a dog herself. She is really a story for another day.</p>
<p><strong><em>If you are thinking about adopting a dog, here are some tips:</em></strong></p>
<p>1. First make sure you are ready for a dog, they are a big responsibility and they live a long life<br />
2. Research breeds so you can determine what kind of dog would be best for you<br />
3. Check out local and online rescue shelters in your area<br />
4. If you still haven&#8217;t found &#8216;your dog&#8217; you can broaden your online search<br />
5. Once you find your new dog be sure to take pictures and send the shelter a <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">thank you card</a></p>
<p>Good luck, there are many dogs that need good families.</p>
<p>Ps. It&#8217;s really hard to get a photo of three dogs together, I will work on it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I try to call you on your cell phone but you&#8217;re never home. Wonder how I can get a message to you, try to tell you what I&#8217;m going to do?  Sometimes you bother with emails and <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4657" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 3px;" title="1104507_70670260" src="http://www.giftsin24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1104507_706702601-225x300.jpg" alt="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Notepads/1" width="225" height="300" />sometimes you don&#8217;t. It makes me and everyone else wonder why some people don&#8217;t take the emails, the cell phone messages to heart. Do they really have that much on their mind? Perhaps they have too many cell phone messages and too many emails to review and it is that much harder for someone with sincerity or worthwhile significance to break through. At <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/">Giftsin24.com</a> we&#8217;ve devised several ways of connecting you that can create the type of response you&#8217;re seeking when emails go unnoticed and phone calls go unanswered. Our <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Cards/1"title="" >personalized cards</a>, notes, ensembles, notepads, lists, memos, agendas sets, memo squares, tablets and <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Custom-Stationery/1">custom stationery</a> are just the beginning.</p>
<p>Are you an executive or professional, maybe just the guy or girl next door? Regardless of who you are and what you need to keep your life in order, keeping your life in order always entails keeping your relationships in order as well. Jotting messages down and jotting them on doors, name plates, wind shields, mail boxes and doors maybe a bit unconventional considering our information age but there are certain ways to get your message seen and the response that you&#8217;ve been waiting for. In a fix or not our <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Notepads/1">personalized notepads</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Cards/1">cards</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Notes/1">notes</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Stationery-Gift-Sets/1">ensembles</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Memo-Squares/1">memos</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Agenda-Sets/1">agendas</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Tablets/1">tablets</a>, <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Notepads/1">notes</a> or <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Custom-Stationery/1">custom stationery</a> can be used in all  kinds of creative ways to organize your life and your relationships. The personalized mini list notepad may be the perfect tool for you. Peruse our wide selection of pads and memos to find the perfect fit for your needs at the perfect price. All of our personal notepads coordinate personal style and functionality. Give them as gifts for everyone in the office or everyone in the family.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After attending an event, getting an award, or receiving a gift from a friend, acquaintance, or associate, you may want to send <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1">personalized thank you cards</a>. It is not hard to find a thank you card <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com">online</a>. Moreover, it does not take long to create a message. On your spare time or while on the break, you can create a thank you card. Writing and sending personalized <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1"title="" >thank you cards</a> is your way of showing your gratitude and appreciation for those individuals who have gone out of their way to share with you a noteworthy experience. If you have done the same way, you may also want to get even an acknowledgment, right? Surely, saying your thank you is one way of improving or enhancing your personal as well as professional relationships.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is only one way to express gratitude and sincere thanks and it is the same method that dates back centuries – <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1"title="" >thank you cards</a>.  Perhaps because email is so popular with today’s communication that it is officially deemed inappropriate to use as a way to thank someone for a sincere gesture or kind thought. </p>
<p>Nothing will replace the time you take to write out a heart felt letter of thanks on a card and send it in the mail. When your recipient spots it out amongst the pile of bills and magazine, they will be pleasantly surprised and refreshed from such an authentic and sincere gesture. </p>
<p>You can buy thank you cards on the internet in many different designs and colors and fonts. You can mix and match until you find the perfect combination to express your unique personality and style. You can go totally elegant and classic with cream colors, cursive font and neutral accents over embossed lettering. Or you can be more modern with bright colors, funky designs and embossed block letters or Century Gothic. </p>
<p>It all depends on what you like the best and you can even order two or three different sets of stationary that caters to different kinds of scenarios. Have one on hand for thanking people for gifts and kind gestures, while you other funky stationery is great to include with birthday gifts and use as friendly notes to friends and family.<br />
No matter how much you order, just be sure that you always have some thank you cards on hand in your house. They are an extremely common gift for newly weds because these cards will always be used throughout the year – no matter what kind of person or family you are handing them off to. Remember that emails are never acceptable and can easily be taken as a rude gesture.</p>
<p>Take as much time to write your cards as your recipients took to think of you as they bought your gift or helped you out with a favor. Browse the selections on the internet to find the stationery that truly fits you and your personality and everyone will receive a little piece of you in the mail and then they will smile!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It always seems that you can never have enough <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1"title="" >thank you cards</a> on hand to sincerely thank your friends and family for favors and gifts. Whether your neighbor picks up your mail for your while you are on vacation or your sister drops by with a lovely bouquet of freshly cut flowers from her garden, a small thank you card can go a long way.</p>
<p>Expressing your gratitude for a favor or a gift is extremely important. You want to make sure that the person that did the favor or gave you a gift knows exactly how much you appreciated it. Handwritten thank you cards are the perfect way to accomplish this. It will only take a few minutes of your time to write down how you feel and to thank someone for something that they have done for you.</p>
<p>With modern technology many people are skipping a few steps of the process and sending out emails to serve as thank yous. An email message simply does not have as much weight as handwritten thank you cards. They are more informal and your gratitude can be lost somewhere in cyberspace. Don’t try to save yourself some time by shooting out a quick email as a thank you because emails can come across as devoid of emotion. </p>
<p>If you want to genuinely thank someone it is always best to take the time to write out a card, even if it is only one or two sentences, and to sign your name in ink. It will lend a much more personal and sincere touch to your expression of gratitude and be well received by the person that you are thanking. They will know that you appreciated the gesture or the gift and feel as if their efforts were genuinely received and valued.</p>
<p>When it doubt always send out a quick thank you. Even if it is a small gesture it is always best to send out a thank you to express your gratitude. By having a stack of thank you notes in a handy place at home you’ll be much more apt to take the time to write one out. It is always a good idea to have these on hand and to keep some stamps along side them so that the next time that someone does you a favor you are ready to show your gratitude by sending them a handwritten thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s funny what we remember.   I’ve been to my share of weddings and wedding receptions over the years, and my memories are not of the event, the people, the music.</p>
<p>I remember the details.  The stained glass windows, the flowers, the way that the food was served at the reception (brisk ?  slow ? enthusiastic ?)  But, also, I remember the napkins.  Why ?  Because I love to drink red wine at wedding receptions, and I enjoy getting a fresh napkin every time so I can situate my glass on the napkin and be sure that the glass is centered.  So, I get to know the napkins.  What am I getting to here ?  What is my point ?  All right, here we go – most napkins at wedding receptions are an afterthought.  They were ordered last … I can almost hear the conversation …</p>
<p>… “we almost forgot them completely” or “I thought you were ordering the napkins” …</p>
<p>Or:  “I think the caterer will supply the napkins”  This must be true, because some waitresses or bartenders have handed me a plain napkin.  Plain – no design, no names… blank.  Sometimes, I have done better … and the napkins had a printed design, but a generic design like a rose or iris.  Only at a very few wedding receptions (or rehearsal dinners) have I had the pleasure of a <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Napkins/1">personalized napkin</a> with a correctly executed monogram on it, or one with the bride and groom’s name and the date of the occasion.  But, here is the wonderful exception.  In September of 2008 I attended a wedding in Wheeling, West Virginia, where the cocktail napkins were exquisite.  The reception was outdoors in a large tent, there must have been 200 people there.  (Anyone famous ?  One gentleman and his colleague were rumored to be the owners or else share ownership of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team.)  If we take into account all of the coming and going, there might have been 300 people who attended.  After all, the bar had its own tent – this was a serious wedding reception.  Anyway … the <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Napkins/1">personalized napkins</a> … they were sublime.  And simple   Five inches by five inches – standard size.  They were white with the most delicious monogram – the old classic style of engraver’s monogram that everyone sells for napkins and <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com">personalized stationery</a>.  The center letter was “S”  Sorry, I don’t remember the side-letters.  The napkins said it all.  A lithesome young bride had married a tall, handsome young man in a simple, dignified ceremony, had an elegant wedding reception, and someone had  remembered the importance of symbolizing the event on <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Personalized-Napkins/1">personalized napkins</a>.  The couple was joined by, among other things, the letter “S”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember when we were young and would come home from kindergarten with necklaces of raw macaroni noodles for our mothers? Sure, sometimes they were colored with markers or included different shapes like the large Rigatoni, but no matter what, there was no escaping its unfortunate label: cheap yet thoughtful. Projects for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and other holidays in elementary school used to include different homemade and cheap ways to tell kids’ mothers <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/thank-you-cards">thank you. Cards</a> now take the place of those endearing cutouts and noodle necklaces. So why not bring parents back with an original thank you card made directly from the heart. <a href="http://www.giftsin24.com/Thank-You-Cards/1"title="" >Thank you cards</a> that are not store bought say more than some two cent poetry that any old quack can buy and sign.</p>
<p>Homemade thank you cards should be used for every occasion. And we’re not talking about busting out the Crayola crayons and markers for that juvenile feel. It is as simple as finding an image on the computer and printing it out. You don’t even need to handwrite anything if you don’t want to: all the way to printing directly on the envelope the name and address.</p>
<p>Gifts are overdone. Show your true appreciation through a personalized thank you card that depicts the details and depth of your sincere gratefulness. A thank you card is great for any occasion and there is no time that it is deemed inappropriate. You can dress a card up with flowery design or dress it down with no extravagant pictures, images or words. Keep it simple by merely saying thank you and addressing the thing of which you are thanking. </p>
<p>A thank you card is an excellent way to show your gratitude and appreciation through a thoughtful message and a corresponding picture. Maybe of a cake, or balloons, maybe even a clever cliché coming from a chimpanzee. Whatever you choose, make sure you are picking the right card for your recipient. Whether thanking someone for a gift or a good time, you want to show the right amount of appreciation and consideration. You do not want to send a card that is too over the top with bustling designs or too much loud color. Cards like these tend to come off as tacky and redundant, instead of sweet and loving.</p>
<p>Thank you’s are often overlooked, but they are important in keeping and maintaining strong friendships through out the years.</p>
