The Kitchen Table

Ideas needed for thank you card

18 years ago

I'm recovering from a small surgery and my next door neighbor is pampering me. She is making exquisite gourmet meals and also some of her family favorites.

It's her birthday next week so I'd like to make a clever card for her. I'm housebound, but I have a lot of craft supplies. I also could make a digital card since I can do a few things via Paint Shop Pro.

Sometimes when I'm thanking someone, I'll buy them a roll of live-savers and the card will say "Thanks, you're a lifesaver"

For this card though, I'd like some reference to her cooking skills and kindness.

The only thing that I've come up with so far is to use an image of a chef's hat and then say that "You're tops with me"

Thanks so much

Lynne

Not enough words to tell you
How very much I feel
For all you've been doing for me-
While I'm down & out to heal.

How fortunate am I to have you?
You're like an angel sent from above...
Creating your tasty dishes
Full of wonderul neighborly love!

Everyone should be so lucky-
There's nothing to compare..
To having a 'personal angel'
That bestows her "Gourmet Fare!"

You could use a graphic of an angel wearing a chef's hat & apron, standing by a stove?

Our Eurodesert legacy - A Thank You card for Cliff Orent
Q

Hi Cliff I'm so glad you dropped by to see this tribute! I'd thought about dropping you an email to show you the ED roses in context in my own yard but I got to thinking about how huge an email that would be. Besides, I knew we had many other GW folks wanting to show off their bounty from your nursery. Like Beth, I am also loving my Andre Willemse, First Great Western, Twice in a Blue Moon, and Gilbert Becaud from you, but she has better photos than I do of most of those (particularly the lavenders). It's wonderful to look through these photos and see the striking variety of colors and textures across the different roses! Increasing that diversity is one of the many things we have to be grateful about from the ED legacy. Seil, I admit I hadn't known that Trump Card had anything to do with Donald Trump, and I find the pun better than the man it refers to by a long shot. Not only is Trump Card a nicer color combination than Rosie O'Donnell, the latter is a name I really would have to struggle to include in my yard. Nastarana, thanks for the reminder about Sesame Street and Buffy St. Marie. It's amazing how much of our cultural heritage is linked to shows like that from our childhood, though I hesitate to admit I only knew of that show from the kids I babysat (I was a Romper Room child myself - oooh, now that dates me). I'm glad we've been able to get a chorus of folks posting their roses growing from Eurodesert, and now that Cliff has dropped by it's a great chance to drop him a thanks or tell of a favorite story related to one of his roses.

Maybe you could make up a collage of pictures on a single sheet of paper of the party, relatives, friends, trips, etc and scan them in color and write a bit about each picture. You could do several pages now/then etc.

I'm glad the cards made him happy. He looks like he enjoyed his party. Thanks for sharing him and the pictures. I miss my grampa and he's been gone for a long time. His birthday was November 30th. Leslie

I think even Hallmark would be hard pressed to come up with something better than Sharon's poem up above - really well written, Sharon.
