First, let me give you a little back story. Back in April, I posted about how I was going to be attending the HOW Design Conference and how I had a few reservations about meeting new people. In short, I was crazy nervous! But thanks to my post, I found out that Brooke, a designer at Two Paperdolls, a company whose work I had been drooling over for years, was also going to be attending with a group of her coworkers. And hey, coincidentally, we were all booked on the same flight out to Austin and back to Philadelphia. Awesome!
Brooke and her coworkers (Maggie, Terry, Chris, and Vanessa) ended up being the absolute nicest folks ever, and were kind enough to let me infiltrate their group throughout the trip. All my concerns about sitting by myself at the nerd table quickly vanished, and I suddenly had a new group of friends. I couldn't have been more grateful!
Well, the gang at Two Paperdolls (who have a retail collection of the most incredible letterpress goodies called Louella Press) were not only generous with their friendship, but they also thoughtfully offered up two of their 8"x10" limited edition letterpress prints from their brand spankin' new etsy shop for a giveaway!
How amazing are these??? Gorgeous letterpress. Beautifully designed. AND promoting kindness. Couldn't be more perfect!
They are giving away one of each of these two prints shown here. That means TWO winners. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment here, let us know which one you prefer, and tell me what you're thankful for today. It could be a person, or your morning coffee, or a forthcoming vacation. Whatever you'd like! I'll draw the winners randomly next Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
As for me, I'm thankful for the ladies and gentleman at Two Paperdolls/Louella Press for making this giveaway possible!

I LOVE the Be Nice {or leave} print. It's straightforward, yet tongue-in-cheek. The best of both worlds!
Today, I am thankful for my fleecy Wizard of Oz blanket, as my office is particularly frigid this morning :-)
Thanks, Melissa!
I am thankful for our wonderful nanny, Elena. It is so hard to leave my beautiful baby boy to go and work
(I am a wedding photographer), but I feel safe knowing that she treats him like her own.
delightfully,
Chenin
p.s. I LOVE letterpress :)
ooo these are great!
My fav is the Be Nice or Leave print. I know just where I'll put it in my apartment!
This morning I'm thankful for the opportunity to take a morning stroll through a dog park.
The weather's great, AND I picked up a latte on my way back to the office!
I love the Say Please print. People these days can be so blunt and demanding, all in the interest of maximizing time. I'd hang the print in my cubicle, where I could gesture toward it when necessary!
Today I am thankful for the opportunities I have because I live where I live. I normally have a pretty neutral-to-bad attitude about my geographical location, but today, it's affording me and my fiance chances at a life we'd be unable to find in a different place.
I love these! So sweet. Politeness is the BEST!!
I love the Be Nice print!! Sums it all up so nicely!
Today, I'm thankful for a wonderful circle of friends, that make ordinary days special!
I love the Be Nice (or leave)!
I'm so thankful that the sun is shining today :)
Both are so very nice...and its so nice of the Two Paperdolls to partner with you for a giveaway!!
Be nice is a great print! I'd put that in the kitchen for guests who secretly hate my cooking haha!
I love the Be Nice one! I'm thankful to have woken up next to my two favorite boys this morning (my husband and my dog). :-)
Hi! I prefer the Be Nice or Leave one but I also like the other to! Not fussy!!! :-)
I'm thankful for the fact that I am looking forward to seeing my step-kids tonight. I've spent the last two years trying to get over my wicked stepmotherness and dreading their visits and I'm thankful that they are in my life and that I am now able to appreciate that!
I love the BE NICE poster!
I am thankful for my lovely husband who let me sleep in a little longer this morning and took the bus to work...
BE NICE!
I am thankful that my boyfriend woke me up with a surprise breakfast in bed and had my favorite candy on my keyboard this morning. How NICE!
I've practiced kindness over the past year or so and really tried to be more aware of these gestures. I've bought extra passes/tickets at events and gave them to someone in line with the message, "Pay it forward." I've been a nicer driver, letting people in when needed. When traveling I've been respectful of cultures and helped where I could by being nice. In Iquitos, Peru I noticed after the New Years celebrations a group of 15 or so kids walking around their neighborhood picking up all the trash and putting it into trash bags while the other neighborhoods just left it there. I went and got some candy and toys and brought it to them. They then invited me into their house where each kid gave me a personal thank-you. They were really grateful and ended up giving me a gift as well. It felt good to spread the nice!
i love both of them, but especially like the "say please" one. my grandma always told me that you can get anywhere in life with a please & thank you!
today, i'm grateful to have such a wonderful grandmother who always had the best tips!
These are gorgeous! I love the Say Please print. Today I am thankful for talented people who make such beauty in this world. :)
They are both amazing! I too, love their work at Two Paperdolls!
It's NICE being NICE.
These are AMAZING! I love them! I especially enjoy the "Be Nice" one because it ties in so well with the ideas I focus on in my blog -- being positive in the present moment. One of the greatest ways to be positive in the moment is to be nice! :)
I would choose Be Nice. I am thankful for the friends and family I have everyday!
I heart heart heart the Be Nice {Or Leave} print -- so true!
Today I'm thankful that my job 'research' involves blog-hopping, pretty-things-finding, and Operation-Nice-contest-entering! :)
Hugs upon you,
Kristen
Ou, these are so pretty! I would love the Be Nice print. I would hang it in my kitchen as a reminder to my family and friends that niceness should prevail in my home. Thanks for your generosity!
LOVE these! i would love the say please version in the yellow and grey! it think it would be perfect for the boys to see everyday hanging in our home.
today i'm thankful for many things: working from home and being able to do so on a comfy couch when i want, my adorable boys, my loving husband, my talents, connecting with friends, and for lovely giveaways!
Ooh, I like the Be Nice one (in the light blue/yellow).
What am I thankful for? That I still have the ability to believe despite what's going on in my world right now. :)
My fave: the red/blue Say please {and Thank You}. Fantastic! I was recently turned on to the art of letter press, and these are beautiful!
I am so thankful for the men who mow my lawn in the blistering Texas heat. God bless them. Truly.
Have a great day!
I love them both?! If I HAD to choose one I suppose it would be the Say Please (and Thank You)!
I am actually thankful to be babysitting my co workers kids this weekend - I could really use the extra money for summer fun!
Love the blue and purple "Be Nice or Leave." Letterpress is the most beautiful way of printing!!
And, I'm thankful for my sweet boyfriend who told me yesterday, "When you have a problem, I have a problem."
Love the Be Nice print!
Today I'm thankful for an hour long nap I just took. I was kinda of cranky earlier.
I absolutely love the Be Nice {or leave} - it is whimsical and rings very true in my home!
Today, I am thankful for my job — as a designer I hear more and more peers experiencing drastic pay cuts and layoffs. I am happy to work in a small agency that is "weathering the storm"..
Keep up the great blog! Love it!
Be nice or leave - amen. ;)
I'm thankful that I'm starting to get a handle on what I want to do with my life. Seems to be coming together.
Love the Be Nice {or leave} print. Absolutely drool-worthy. Today I am grateful for no longer being the only one at the office - someone else came back from vacation. I've just been alone for three days, and I already missed the buzz of normal office life.
I love the Be Nice or leave print.
Today I am grateful for air conditioning (as it was 103 yesterday in NW WA) and a wonderful husband who goes to work to pay for that bill and much more.
I really love the Say Please (and thank you) print. Teaching my sons to have manners and respect is very important to me.
I am most thankful for being a mom today. No matter what changes we face in life, I will always be a mom.
*LOVE* the Be Nice {or leave} print! In the bright color combination! GORGEOUS!!! Since I have a houseful of boys, it would be an awesome addition - LOL!
I am thankful for sooooo many things today. The awful pain in my back is showing improvement! I love the trees and sunshine outside. I adore both my dogs and don't know what I'd do without them. I am grateful for air conditioning in this wicked summer heat! I'm so thankful for a life of blessings. I could go on and on but I'll Be Nice and stop :)
Megan :)

Love the Be Nice print. And I just love when talented people share their beauty with the rest of us. Thanks!
BE NICE is my favorite.
I am SOOO thankful for air conditioning today, as this week in the NW has been miserably hot/humid...108° yesterday.
~Shari R.
Those prints are both so beautiful and I love the messages! I would have to say my favourite is "Say Please..." To use manners is such a simple act of kindness.
I am grateful for my parents today and every day! As a single working mom, they take wonderful care of my son while I'm working to support my little family. It is comforting to know he's in such loving hands and they bring as much joy to his life as he does to theirs (:
Thanks for the opportunity Melissa... I just discovered your blog and I love it!
I absolutely adore the Be Nice print!!
Today I am so thankful for Twitter. Now I have so many amazing friends all over the world that I highly doubt I would have made (or kept so well in touch with) otherwise.
I adore the Be nice {or leave} print. I have recently become the president of my condo association and it would be the perfect sign to hang on just inside my door and remind everyone that we need to be nice to all our neighbors.
Personally, I am grateful for my education and the opportunity I have had to pursue a career in my field. I am so blessed to walk into work everyday and love what I do.
Kudos to the designers and cheers to being nice!
Love the "be nice" in blue/purple and "say please" in cyan and red.
Today, I am thankful that my twins are still napping and my husband is mowing the lawn (...all while I am "working").
Is it okay to say that I have no preference, because they're both amazingly cute and pretty?
I'm thankful for Thursdays - one day closer to Friday! :)
Cute!!!
I am thankful for my new job and for finally having a life after 2 years of working 10am-10pm! Thankful for my awesome friends that didn't "dump" me during those 2 hard years, but helped me and encouraged me along the way! Love them!!!
i totally adore the "be nice (or leave)" print. i work in an office where tons of people are coming and going, needing things from me *all the time*. i'd love, love, LOVE to put that print on my desk for all to see. :)
today (and every single day) i am thankful for the miracle that is my life.
with love from pittsburgh...
I love the Say Please {and Thank You}! As my 4-year-old niece will tell you, they are two of my favorite phrases -- I'm constantly reminding (nagging?) her to say please and thank you when she comes for a sleepover!
Today I'm thankful for the baked goodies that my co-worker's wife sent in for our office to enjoy. I forgot how much I love Rice Krispie treats!
I love the SAY PLEASE and thank you print.
I am thankful for the woman who let me use her CVS card today when I went to buy soda for the engineers in my office. It was on sale and I forgot my card; I begged to use the store card to no avail. A woman in the greeting card section came up and offered to let me use her card! How NICE!!! :) :) Wish I had gotten her name...
Cheers!
I can't decide between the two!
I am thankful today for: having the house to myself for a quite moment (growing up as a child of six means I've never stopped appreciating this as an adult), my beautiful boyfriend and my gorgeous and playful kitten. Also, my record player:D xx
there both lovely. my favourite is 'be nice' (: im thankful for me and my familys good health. it kinda sounds corny but you don't realase how thankful you are for it until something happens.. im also thankful for lemonade ha ha. it alwaaays makes me feel better (:!
Both prints are beautiful but my favourite is the Be Nice {or leave} one. So lovely of them to bring you into their group and put up the prints to give away.
On that note, I'm grateful to the guys at Two Paperdolls for proving the world does have some truly generous and "nice" people.
I love them both! They are truly lovely and yet very direct. This is the hardest part sometimes to get - that one can be quite direct and yet nice about it too. Gets lost a lot in my experience.
I am thankful for my health, for my loving cats and chickens (and their eggs) and for my extended family of friends, here (Los Angeles) and elsewhere.
I love the "Be Nice" one! :) Very cute and a little sassy, which I love.
Today I'm thankful for Dennis, a guy at work whose last day was today. I've been interning at this agency for two summers now, and he was always sweet and helpful when I needed him, and his laugh was always one that made me laugh when I heard it. I'll miss him a lot, but I'm grateful for all of his help and patience.
I LOVE THEM!!!
I'd choose the Be Nice one. Forsh.
oh - may I please be entered for the "say please" poster? I LOVE it!
and thank you for have such a wonderful give away!!
BE NICE {OR LEAVE} would be great in my house!
I am so grateful for my loving husband, who is such a good sport about all sorts of situations that I put him in that are out of his comfort zone (and so much within mine).
I think SAY PLEASE would go great in my dining room. I am thankful for art conditioning in this heat wave!
tough choice as both of them are brilliant in their simplicity & flippen adorable to boot ... hmmm ... be nice, mhmm, that's the one. Thank you ... and please thank them for offering up these great treats.
today I am thankful for the bits of rain we've been getting (just noticed that the mango tree is thankful, too ... it has tons of happy-bright-green new growth all over it).
aweesommmee. I love the Be nice one. :D I'm thankful for the sun today.
I love them both, but the 'Be Nice' one is slightly ahead. I'm thankful I got to hold a wee little baby today.
Love the prints, love the blog!!
I love the Be Nice one (Although its incredibly hard to choose!)
I'm thankful that I'm not pregnant. It's been weighing on my mind a lot lately.
I love both prints but if I had to pick one it would be the "Be Nice" print! It's awesome.
I'm thankful for my 17 year old daughter who arranged for both my girlfriend and me to have massages and facials today as a thank you for the work we put into our Relay For Life team this year....and I'm thankful for my girlfriend who took me out for supper to celebrate my birthday!
This is so wonderful!
Hm...I'm thankful for so much that it's hard to name only one thing! Oh goodness. I guess that's good?
Right now I'm thankful for my dad, who spent his afternoon taking me to get my bike tires pumped and then helped re-teach me how to ride my bike so I can bring it with me to college. It's been years and years since I've ridden, so I needed some polishing up! He had so much patience with me.
I really like the "Be Nice" in teal and gold. The colors go great together!
First, I am thankful that we met at HOW Conference. And today specifically, I am thankful that no one has been seriously injured in the chemical fire in Bryan, TX. I am also thankful for all my friends and family who checked on me. It's nice to know I'm loved. :) And btw, I love love *LOVE* the 'Be Nice {or leave}' print. It's awesome. Thanks for all you do, Mel!
Mmmm, what delicious letterpress! I love the "Say Please [and thank you]" cards :).
I am tremendously thankful that I get to wake up every day and do a job that I honestly and whole-heartedly love [I am a wedding+portrait photographer], and for a husband who cooks :).
I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. We've been married for 5 years as of August 16th and I couldn't be more happy. He's wonderful and understanding. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. :)
I love the yellow and pool combination on the be nice print! would be nice to have staring at me in my studio so I can always remember- be nice!
I am thankful for my husband (our one year anniversary is sunday!) he is so supportive of me and my ever growing businesses!
I actually picked up one of her prints at the conference and was bummed that I didn't take a card, and couldn't find her again!
I like the be nice or leave print. Today I'm thankful for a beautiful evening without rain so that I could go for a walk!
Allison
I'm going to pick the "Be Nice {or leave} print."
I'm thankful for each day I have on this earth with my husband. My days would be long and eventless without him by my side.
I am thankful for Operation Nice (no really- I'm not sucking up). My family and I are having so much fun being extra nice and reading about nice acts and people. You validate my ongoing mom reminder- most people are nice/most people want to do good!
LOVE the Be Nice or Leave!!
I am thankful that it is 20 degrees cooler today than it was yesterday...hooray...I can take my adorable canine friend for a nice long walk!! :)
4 months ago, the company I worked for announced that they were laying off 1000 people. I was in that selected group because of my seniority. Well, last week they announced that the layoffs were no longer in affect and I will not be losing my job! So, I am thankful that I still have a job to go to.
I am thankful for my son.
I like the "Be Nice" one. And, today I am thankful for technology that helps me keep in contact with my family who lives far away. Oh, and popcicles. I'm thankful for them too.
I also like the 'Be Nice' poster. Today I'm thankful for my Grandpa Chuck's health--he's out of the hospital after having a stroke and recovering nicely!
I LOVE the "Be Nice" print. I'm thankful for this day. I'm going to spend it in the best possible way I can - with my family. Sometimes I forget what a gift each day is.
I think both prints are awesome, what a nice gesture amongst friends.
I am grateful today to the woman at the coffee shop, who so graciously accepted my invitation to share the only remaining outdoor table. She wanted to sit outside and I had a spare chair, I offered it to her and she was kindly and truly thankful to me for my offer. It's not so hard to be nice, but it's a lot more fun when it's acknowledge
I love the be nice or leave prints!
I'm thankful my boys.
Both are awesome, love the colors of say please but Be nice is equally nice so either one would have a perfect home with me!
I am grateful for the roof over my head in the current difficult times while I job search!
I'm grateful to my wife and daughter who stood squarely by me when I was out of work. I love you both. "Say Please", please.
I am aways grateful for the gift of each day. I would love the Be Nice one on a t shirt
I can't decide! I think I'll pick... the say please and thank you print.
I am so grateful that my husband is back home after being away for whole week!
Wow! The "Be Nice or Leave" print in yellow and blue is simply delicious! I am drooling! (Sorry about the visual.)
I am thankful my eyes could be blessed by such succulent visual candy.
I am thankful for my wonderful wife and my amazing 11-month-old son.
I am thankful that I get to stay home with him while my wife has a great job to support us.
I am thankful that I get to do design work from home.
I am thankful I get to read this blog.
I am thankful that I have countless things to be thankful for (so I'll stop listing them).
Yay!
Hmmm, today I am thankful for my happy, healthy, 6 month old daughter!
I'm also thankful for the new house that we just moved into!! (New to us, not the world).
^_^
So many things to be thankful for.
(I LOVE the green and gray appreciate print: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28571339)
Hi Melissa!
I love the Be Nice print. It's adorable!
Today I'm thankful for a great morning run- I fed the neighborhood goats, Heidi and Klara, which always brings a smile to my face!
These are beautiful and I LOVE Two Paperdolls! My favorite is Say Please {and thank you}
This morning I am thankful for being able to work from home so it's jeans day everyday! (Though, today I'm wearing shorts due to the lovely summer heat).
today I'm thankful for my fiance... it's his birthday (!) and the last one before we tie the knot! we've been engaged for two years, and I couldn't be happier to be marrying my best friend.
the "Be nice or leave" print would be beautiful in our home. we entertain a lot, and it would be a nice subtle reminder to our guests.
thanks for this wonderful giveaway!
I'm thankful for my aunt. I've had a particularly rough time lately and she has been my biggest supporter and cheerleader.
I would love to hang this print in my office and demand that people abide by it since lately it seems people have lost all their manners!
Wow, it's really nice of them to sponsor a giveaway for your blog!
Both prints are very cute, but the "Be Nice" print is so apropos for Operation Nice that I have to choose it as my favorite.
I really like both of them, but if I had to chose it would be Be Nice or Leave.
I got my hair cut and colored last night, she cut off six inches. Yes it was needed, but right now I am in freak out mode. My co-workers have told me how nice I look and that I am just in shock. My best co-worker has texted me all last night and this morning telling me it is beautiful and I look great. Jill is the best. I am thankful for great co-workers that have helped me feel alittle better about my current hair situation!
Practice Kindness is in my office today.
I am thankful for the love and support of my family and friends. Without it life simply would not be worth enduring.
I ADORE these prints ~ they remind me of one of my all time favorite quotes. "Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
Unknown
One of these sure would be a nice reminder for my 4 year old.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I love the bold Be Nice print.
Today I'm thankful for....antibiotics! There's nothing like feeling better after a week of being under the weather. :)
i just love the "say please [and thank you]" print. why is it that such an obvious gesture can be so difficult for some folks?! sad, i think! :(
today i am thankful for my blue and green polka dotted umbrella. it's rained each and every day for [what seems like!] the past month here in CT and my trusty friend has not only kept my dry but it brings a smile to my face each time i pull it out and open it! :)
dear mother nature,
PLEASE send some sunshine!
THANK YOU! :)

I am thankful for so many things. But, today, I am most grateful that my wonderful family is together and heading on a wonderful vacation together to Moosehead Lake in Maine for a week of appreciating the great outdoors.
I'm thankful that it's Friday and that Monday is a holiday here in Alberta, so I have 3 whole days to relax and enjoy the weather.
Have a great weekend everybody!
I am in love with the "Be Nice (or leave)". Good point with a sense of humor. Today and most days I am very thankful for my family and a couple best friends. I am going through a bit of a rough patch right now and have quit keeping track of the number of phone calls I get each day just to say "I'm thinking about you".
These are beautiful! I especially love the Be Nice one. Today I am thankful that I get to play with my two year old son all day. His smile makes me happy all day long!
I love the say please one. That was so wonderful of them, and I'm glad you had someone to hang with :)
Amazing product and well designed! I am thankful for my sister who I get to see in 5 days from now!
Oh, how wonderful these are! It's lovely to see such fine quality printing, too. My fave is "Be Nice."
Why not make where you live a pleasant place?
I'm thankful for the nourishment of the soul that my husband and friends give me each day.
So cool! I would like the 'Be Nice' one please!:):)
I'm grateful for the ability to make stuff and give them to other people!
I love the "be nice" print! I'd definitely put it up in my house. But the "say please" print is awesome too! That one would go in the kitchen!
Today I'm thankful for Comcast coming to my house and fixing my internet, so I can read lovely blogs again!
Today I am thankful for my trustworthy mechanic.
I love these prints! I would hang both in my house but if we have to pick, then I pick, "Be Nice"
Great giveaway!
I adore the "Be Nice". Great colours and font.
I'm thankful for my fat cat laying here on my lap as I squeeze my arms around him in order to type this out. He's just been fed and watered so he's a happy purring cat and that in turn makes me happy! :-)
1. What a great blog!
2. I prefer the "Be Nice" print.
3. This morning I am thankful for Shawn Colvin's "New Thing Now" - "Sometimes I see the half and not the whole. Sometimes I see the face and not the soul."
I think this blog is about going past the faces and seeing the souls! :-)
I love the Be Nice print. It's so elegant.
I'm thankful that my mom is well enough to go abroad, after her battle with breast cancer.
Beautiful prints! My favorite is the "Be Nice" print, but the "Say Please" one is gorgeous, too! I love them both! I am thankful today for my best friend. She has been more of a blessing to me than I ever thought anyone could be. And we will be going on vacation to New York City! I can't wait!
i can't possibly decide which one is my favorite so i like both of the prints! today i am so thankful for my relatives that are letting me stay at their house!
I love both! I'm so thankful for my two boys and my husband. I think we could use a "Say Please and Thank You" reminder though.
I am thankful for a husband who is so understanding.
I like the please and thank you reminder best.
The Imagination print is _great_!
I'm thankful for a new apartment to fill with inspiration and friends.
I am thankful for my own health.
I love the SAY PLEASE (and thank you) print!
I am thankful for the success of my recent ear surgery and the fact that I have a wonderful boyfriend who has been a great nurse during my recovery time. I am a lucky, lucky girl!
I love the Be Nice print. :-)

Hello! I love the "Be Nice" print. I am thankful that I had an incident today that even though it was quite embaressing, it taught me to slow down in my actions, my thoughts, my feelings....and to breathe
Those are cute. I like them both! But I think I like the "Be Nice" one better. Today I am thankful for my new friend Anna from art class who took me to yoga with her.
It is so hard to choose!! These are both statements that reflect the overall gracious attitude I want my family and home to represent. I have 2 children whom I reinforce these statements to on a daily basis. My 4-year-old is reading now and he'd love to have a "Be Nice" sign to point to when his friends are over as he is quite concerned with everyone being peaceful with one another.
I believe being thankful is equally as important and reflect on a daily basis with my family just how blessed we really are and how important it is to "Be Thankful".
I would love to have one of these prints, but am content to know that someone out there is spreading these messages.
Good job! They are not only beautifully designed, but both make valid statements.
Thank you!
Cat
Love the "Be Nice" print - it would be perfect for my office. Today I'm thankful for my Google Reader or I wouldn't have wonderful blogs to read first thing in the morning.
I also adore the yellow/gray "Be Nice" print. I work in HR and would love to give some of my clients a reminder of this somedays! I am thankful for feeling inspired today.
I love the "Be Nice [or leave]" print!
I am thankful for my dad's health today. I couldn't have said that last week, and I sure hope I can say that tomorrow too. :-)
I ADORE the SAY PLEASE {and thank you} I am thankful for my couch to 5k program I recently began. I am on week 5 day 2. I can't believe that I am doing and so many others are as well now. It's amazing what you can do with baby steps and friends to encourage you along the way!
I like the be nice print and I'm thankful that I found your site today!

I'm loving the Be Nice {Or Leave} print, because that's exactly what I think when I come across mean people.
I'm thankful that I have a rockstar son {Joel} who showers me with kisses when I'm not in the mood to be nice.
The Be Nice (or leave) print is absolutely fabulous! I'd love to hang it in my apartment and let everyone know there's only two options in my house...
I like the Say Please {and thank you} one. We are enforcing manners at our house right now and this would be a great reminder.
I am thankful for pillows. I went camping for a weekend and forgot pillows not fun.
I love the blue set and both their sentiments--so much of what we need more of.
I am thankful for those who are nice and also for the opportunities to be nice to others!
I love this idea!! Be Nice {or leave} is awesome! Its the right balance of being polite and stern. :) Letterpress rocks!
And I am very grateful for seeing a solitary flower in my garden. It's all the more appreciated when it's only one, and signifies for me 'hope'. :)
I love the Be Nice print too (having said that my kids could probably use a tangible reminder of the Say Please at times!)Fabulous site - I'll come again!
I am positively in love with the print that says SAY PLEASE (AND THANK YOU). If I am not lucky enough to win one, I might just have to pick it up to put in my cube at work :)
I am thankful for my loving and incredibly supportive husband, who believes in me at times when I don't believe in myself. AND, for my two shih tzus who can turn the worst of days upside down with a big old lick and kiss (or 50!).
I really dig "Say Please, and Thank You". It really reminds me of my mother who lives so far away these days.
I am extremely thankful for my awesome little dog, for he's always there to keep me company, and my amazing girlfriend who is the light of my life.
I love the blue "Be Nice. Or Leave." Adorable.
Jasmine
oh my! What a wonderful giveaway!! It's a tough choice, but I think I like the "Say Please" one best. :) Beautiful letterpress, btw!
I am most thankful for my three boys - who are *not* fighting at this moment. (shocking!)
I prefer "Be Nice or leave". I would like to put it on my door, so if anyone started being a putz I could just point to the sign ;>
As far as the thankful stuff, well...
I am thankful for my hubby having a day to himself saturday. I am thankful someone finds me useful. I am thankful tonight we will eat well. I am thankful I can listen to music, see the beautiful world and play on the web commenting on things like this giveaway. I am thankful for this and so much more. I am thankful....
I'm telling you. The BE Nice (or leave) poster is the one to have. Versatility - Kitchen or office. Color Scheme - again, Blue and grey - with just about any room. Honesty - very straight forward with a little snicker. - CHer
I LOVE the yellow & blue BE NICE! It would be so cute in my baby boy's nursery that my husband and I are putting together for his November arrival. Today I am thankful for such a loving husband who takes such good care of me, especially now while I'm carrying our child. It's amazing!
I love, love, love the be nice or leave....I ascribe to that theory every day.
I'm thankful for Melissa for organizing and keeping Operation NICE up and running. It inspires me more than you know! Keep up the great work!
First off, these prints are beautiful! I wouldn't be opposed to winning either or! So, if I'm chosen, I'll take the opposite of what the other winner chooses. ;) Makes it easier.
What am I thankful for today? Well, that would be the fact that my creativity seems to be back on track. For the past week, it seems as though my mind just didn't want to work. It's been dragging along and doing what's necessary, but I had lost that zip, pow, and wow that makes my job so much fun! Glad to say that I felt a little of that zip again today.
You know how it is for us graphic designers. The "zip" is a necessary ingredient for good design! Right? ;)
Yummy, yummy, yum.
I am thankful for my children's laughter. Some days, it keeps me sane.
Love the site, love your journal site (adorable!), love the letterpress. Keep up the great work!
Both are lovely and I love the color combos, but if I have to choose, I would chose the second one.
I am thankful for the wonderful kids that live in our neighborhood. I had the sprinklers on to water our front yard. 3 little girls who live next door were standing under the sprinklers with little umbrellas. It was the most adorable thing.
I adore the "Say please...and thank you" print. It is even in the same color as my gorgeously elegant wedding stationery from Two Paperdolls! They are the best!!! What a great eye for creativity and class.
I am incredibly thankful for the amazing wedding day I had on July 4th. I am so fortunate to have been surrounded by the magnificent love and support of all of our family and friends... including my father. My Dad gave me away on that miraculous day, and then he passed away 11 days later. I am so thankful for his love and lessons.

I am thankful for people like you who promote nice behavior and actions! Yesterday, I sponsored Wednesday challenge for readers of a blog I was guest-writing for to perform a random act of kindness. The most random, selfless and heartfelt act won a new MomAgenda (it is a mom-site). A lady from Oklahoma was the winner and she deserved it! So, I'm thankful for her too!
Thanks for what you do with Operation Nice!
