Print it yourself: Airmail thank you notes

Hello, everyone! I've returned from the Pacific Northwest and planned to hit the ground running today... until the electricity went out first thing this morning after a brief storm. It's expected to take a few days to restore power to the entire Chicago area, so I'm typing from the public library. Alex and I have hauled a pile of gadgets over here, including my desktop computer with its large monitor (good for graphic design work, but not ultra portable) along with various cords, phones, the iPad, and some rechargeable batteries for my booklight. I considered bringing along the the refrigerator, but concluded that might be a bit much. We plan to suck up as much power as they'll let us tonight before heading home to our sauna of an apartment.

On the bright side: Amy Lowry of Vancouver's Thank You Cards Shop has created a charming free printable just for How About Orange readers. Who doesn't love an airmail theme, especially when it's done up in summery pink and orange? Download the three-page PDF right here, complete with note paper, matching envelope, and zillions of coordinating stickers. If you'd like a personalized version of the notecard with a custom postmark and wording, head to Amy's shop where they're available for purchase in six colors.

  2. I'm glad to see you're back in operation, but sorry that the news isn't more encouraging. Too bad you can't sleep at the library, too, huh? At least tomorrow looks like it's gonna be cooler for you.

    Thinking of you lots.....

    I love you!
    Mum

  3. You definitely should have brought the fridge! Just share a soda and a snack with the librarians, they won't mind a bit.

    Love that letterhead... the pink and orange stripes together are so cute and summery.
