5 Years

I haven’t missed a Tuesday deadline in five years. On March 3, 2015, I posted my very first post for the blog. Happy 5th Blogiversary to Thoughtful Pinch!  It all started with a gift idea of lottery tickets and I have been writing about thoughtfulness using food, beverages, health, holidays, national days, politics, religion, products, gift ideas, seasons, the Thoughtful Pinch App, travel and leisure ever since.

I am a thoughtfulness curator and it makes me happy when I help others collect their thoughts so that they can, in their own way, show others how thoughtful they are. Thoughtful pinches are gifts that are small but mighty. Meaning, the thought overshadows the price tag or size of the gift. And remember, being thoughtful isn’t always about giving an object - sometimes it can be the absence of words and actions.

The winner will choose one of these gift card/ID card holders specially made by my friend Katie Sansted of KT Design for Thoughtful Pinch.A drawing for this prize will take place on Wednesday, 3/4/2020 and one winner will be announced at 10am CST.
