It's one of my favorite words, ever since I learned it heard it from my sister before her 11th grade prom. And I happen to love a teeny creative lapel bouquets (floral or not). If you want to think beyond the carnation and baby's breath for your wedding (or prom!), take a look…

Yesterday was a big day of thank you's…thanks for always having a tissue, thanks for always having chewing gum, thanks for always having patience (for mom, in case you didn't figure that out). Here are a few more ways to say gracias in case you ran out.

You can buy a kit to make these sweet cards. By Martha Stewart, of course.

It's healthy to be grateful for everything in life. Leah Dieterich's mother taught her to write thank you notes, so she started a blog where she writes thank-you notes to everything. Really, everything. Found via A Cup of Jo.

I agree—doilies say thank you on any occasion. These adorable notecards are by my friend Amanda, also know as Twee Cards. Take a look at her cute Etsy store!

Mother's Day is fast approaching (it's seriously early this year), and if you are in need of a quirky little craft, here's one of my faves. It multi-tasks as a card and jewelry!
