Happy Monday everyone! Â Today we’re kicking off a fun new series just for the summer. Â For the last two years, Rebecca from Moontree Letterpress has hosted Monday contests on her blog, and this year we thought it would be fun to partner up and do them together. Â Just a little something to help take your mind off the heat and bring a little fun to your morning. Â So every Monday for the rest of the summer, you’ll have a chance to win pretty letterpress goodies from Moontree Letterpress!
Here’s how the contests will work:  Rebecca was inspired by a story about Ernest Hemingway – legend has it that Hemingway was in a bar one night when someone challenged him to write a six-word story.  His answer:  “For sale:  baby shoes, never worn.”  Rebecca really loved the idea, so now she’s challenging all of you to come up with your own six word stories, all based on a different theme each week.
This week’s theme is “Giving Thanks.” Â The winner will receive 100 one-color letterpress business cards! Â You’ll have until 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday to leave your entry in the comments below, then Rebecca will announce the winner on her blog on Wednesday! Â And just in case you need some inspiration, you can check out these six word autobiographies. Â Bonne chance!

words cannot express. a perfect hug.
sometimes difficult to say, always worthwhile
hate gym, thankful I can run
to Him who is ever present.
Midnight hand holding and butterfly kisses.
Thanks Mom. You’re the very best.
seeing the sunshine after a heartbreak
Ink on Parchment. Hand-lettered and sealed.
He looked up, weeping: ‘Hello Beautiful’.
Ruined — didn’t take the giblets out.
thankful: what better option is there?
believing hugs make it to heaven.
Friends gathered. Food shared. Family growing.
Two words, infinite joy: thank you.
For this, For that… Give thanks.
nothing can compare to true love.
Everything would be impossible without you.
To life: soaking it all in.
For this. For you. Thank you.
Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes
Bus found! No injuries. Families relieved.
Good wine, great cheese, best friends.
Teeth clenched, Daisy mumbled her appreciation.
You gave me a second chance.
you guided me… here i am
To the light..I see now
No words can express my gratitude.
nine pounds, one ounce and healthy
just your presence-i’m thankful
You’re there when I need you.
Mom always said to say thanks.
Together, Humility And Nobility Kindles Sincerity
Regret not required, always give thanks
Giving thanks is good karma practice
Can’t just say it, live it
Without you, I would not be.
you made me grin. you win!
Mine to give. Yours to get.
