 | This end-of-the-school-year time period is always so busy. I'm organizing and helping at two school parties for one daughter and celebrating my other daughter's graduation from Middle School. By this weekend I'll be ready for a little relaxed summer party fun. Have an Entertaining week! | |
Plan a Picnic for the Weekend

I promise to bring enough sunscreen to go around. I may even bring some ice pops to share with everyone. Any takers?

But if your time is limited, and you really suspect one may be unnecessary, you can check this basic etiquette guide to the Do's and Don'ts of thank you notes. After all, I don't want to be blamed for someone's writer's cramp without real justification.
