Saying Thank You with Capree Kimball
Ahoy Wantists, Wanters, and Wantonauts! My name is Capree Kimball and when I’m not hatching plans to turn the moon into cheese once and for all*, I’m spreading joy and love all over the Internet. Specifically, you’ll find me gushing about bright colors, modern design, and my obsession with tin robots on MAIYA, Curbly, 2Modern, and GrassrootsModern. Most importantly, though, I am thrilled to bits that Brittany invited me to share some of my favorite “Thank You” cards with you today. Seriously you guys, I am totally stoked. So, let’s kick this thing off with a cheer, shall we? Hooray Gratitude!
Growing up, my mother encouraged me to always be grateful for every opportunity, good gesture, or bit of service that came my way – and to express it in words and writing. To this day, I’m still a strong believer in the hand-written “Thank You” card. Of course, my love of stationery and pretty paper doesn’t hurt either. But really, with beautiful cards like these, there’s no excuse not to!

I Spy Hipsters
Challenge your friends to a hipster-spotting contest. You already know how to play—snap a pic and be the first to fill your card. Who knows, you might win a fixie! (Not really, it’s just for fun. Unless the hipster fairy visits you in the middle of the night. Maybe put your iPhone under your pillow?)
If you find beards, bangs and Bill Murray endearing like I do, a game like this is icing on a delicious vegan cupcake. Betcha I could step outside and spot them all in a five minute walk to fetch a latte. (Man, I love Portland. And lattes.) Ready, go!
