Amy Sayre Photography's Thank You Cards

I love postcards. Like, LOVE them. Every time I talk with someone about a fun side project (moving announcements/thank you cards/whatever), I'm always like, "have you considered a postcard?" 

Postcards are just so simple and easy. Write a message. Throw a stamp on it. Mail it. Done.

So when Amy - the best friend - came to me and asked if I could help her with a Thank You for the Referral card, I was giddy when she said she'd like it on a postcard. 

I helped Amy make over her website a while back now. We wanted to stick with the same theme to come up with these thank you cards. See, she'd been re-vamping her business for a while and it was really paying off. She was getting more and more referrals and as they came in, she wanted a way to say thank you to those who had sent those referrals her way. 

Enter this little postcard. 

When someone sends a referral to Amy Sayre Photography, Amy can easily fill out this postcard and stick it in the mail.

It's as easy as filling out an address and a couple of lines. Anyone who owns a business knows how important referrals are and how important it is to show your appreciation to the person who is responsible for them. The problem is when you have a small business and you're doing all of the work by yourself. Here's what happens with me:

Referral comes in.
I do a little celebratory dance of appreciation directed towards the person who sent the referral.
I go about my day.

But what if I had a postcard like Amy's that I could just send off to the person who sent the referral to let them know how much I appreciate them? My life would be easier and people would know they were appreciated.

And that's what Amy can do now - show her appreciation to all the people that have spread the word about her stellar photography skills. With a cute little postcard.

One more picture, just because that little bird is so sweet.

Amy now has in her hands a good amount of these postcards and I know she's already sent several out. She is such an inspiring business woman and I will be following her lead and designing my own referral postcards soon (I'm declaring this right now so I will actually knock this off the to-do list, where it has been for a good few months now. :/).

I hope you're all enjoying your weeks so far. I'll be back later this week with a random house post. :)

Want to see more postcards? Check out these that I did for my sister-in-law's appreciation brunch or these I did for moving announcements. 

Love Me Some Photography

There are some new pics on my website! You can either make your way over there via this link, or you can just keep scrolling down this post to see the new collages. Your pick!

The new collages that adorn my 'Weddings' page were done by Danielle Moss, who designed my entire website for me back in March. A few days after she finished them, I realized that it was pretty easy to create my own collages using Picasa. Thus (I love a good thus every now and then), the rest of the collages were born. Isn't it great when you realize you can do something yourself that you've been paying someone else to do? One thing down, about 80 more to go.

Also - photography shout out! - all of the fabulous pics are from Amy Sayre Photography except one. The top left photo in the second collage is from Mike Topham Photography, who was the photographer for my brother's wedding.

In Fall To-Do List news, I'm quite happy with how things are progressing. I've given myself until Thanksgiving to get everything done, then comes the Christmas To-Do List. :)

That darn apple pie keeps sticking out to me. I need to take care of that.

Happy Fall, Y'all! (I should live in the south.)

A little sneak peak...

Have I mentioned that I love my photographer? Wait...yes. I have. Right here.

Well, it's worth repeating. You see, I came home from work today in one of those moods. Girls everywhere know what I'm talking about. Everything in me was screaming, "get in your pajamas as fast as you can!" And I did. It was just one of those days.

Well, when I opened up my laptop I had the best surprise and it almost brought me right out of my funk (I said almost...I am currently in my pajamas laying in bed and it is 7:23 PM). 

I had an email from Ms. Amy Sayre, of Amy Sayre Photography, telling me that I had a photo gallery awaiting me. That is, a photo gallery of my invitations. I had sent her the projects that I've been working on the past few months and I was anxiously waiting for her to tell me she was done. However, since she has a full time job on top of her photography business and she's planning a wedding and she just moved, I was not exactly expecting anything for a while. But that Amy Sayre...she gets me every time. 

So here's a little sneak peak of some of my favorites. I love them and they'll be seen on my website very very soon. 

I love them. And there are way more than this. The best part is that she still has even more to send me. The surprises will keep on coming. Let's hope it's not at the end of another one of those days. 

To end things, here is something productive that I was able to get done today during my good old planning hour at school (planning, schmanning...I've got a fall to-do list to make). 

This is my official fall to-do list. Ahhh, fall. 

I think I'll make progress on two of these tonight. Update the pictures on my website and be in bed by 11 each weeknight. Or in tonight's case, 8 PM.
