I am THE WORST at remembering important events and/or having good intentions and never following through. I am always showing up to work and realizing its someones birthday or that someone is having a bad day and really needs a note of encouragement. But I am full of good intentions and a bad memory. For a baby shower last year I made some note cards like this for people to write notes of encouragement on to the mommy-to-be and people loved them! And it clicked that these are the perfect go to notes to have on hand. So every few months I will sit down and make a big batch of them and store them in my desk at work to always have on hand. So, take 10 minutes and make some with me and always have a GREAT card to give a friend who needs it! Create a stash of cards to always have on hand to give to a friend!

Mine are random sizes and it doesn't bother me at all. Create a stash of cards to always have on hand to give to a friend! Click through for tutorial. Step 2: Paint! See SO easy! I try to paint with writing in mind. So I stick to the edges. But its ok if your paint takes up some of your writing space as most pens will write over the watercolor. Create a stash of cards to always have on hand to give to a friend!
