Frugal Thank You Notes
My middle son, Nick, is a triple sport athlete. So, during every season, football, basketball and baseball we have to raise money for him to play. This year, during baseball season, he was able to get quite a few donations. I think it’s important for him to always send a thank you note. I wanted to do something special this time and came up with these notes.
First, I searched the internet for a picture of our baseball mascot, and thanks to my friend, Jane, found it. I printed several and cut them out. Then I got some regular orange construction paper from my stash, cut it in half and then folded it in half to form the note.
I glued the baseball figure on the front, and they were ready to go.
You could very easily switch these out for any occasion. Maybe pink paper with a Barbie figure on it or blue paper with a Star Wars figure on it. The ideas are endless.

Great idea to find the pictures on the internet! I’ve been postponing some projects because I couldn’t draw the pictures, but now I may get on with them. Thank you.
What a great idea. I’ve been wanting to get into the card making but haven’t found time yet. This is an idea I will store in the back of my mind for when I do get to do it though.
That is a very simple and cute idea.
That is a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for such a GREAT Tightwad Tip ! I love making cards and love how you made it fit so personally. [0=

I do home made cards all the time. I just can’t spend over $1.00 for the silly things when I can just use scraps that I would otherwise throw away!
