Let’s be honest—when faced with the choice between scrubbing the floor or writing a letter to a friend, we all know which one wins. (Hint: it’s the one that involves sitting down and not sweating.) Introducing this hilariously relatable stationery design: “Wrote This Letter Instead of Cleaning!” Because nothing says productivity like procrastinating with flair.

This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

This adorable printable features a wide-eyed, innocent little character who looks like she might pick up that mop—eventually. But not before penning a heartfelt (or humorous) letter on this delightfully guilt-free sheet. We even included matching envelopes and seals, because if you’re going to avoid chores, you might as well do it in style.

Now, for those wondering: yes, this is 100% a justifiable form of domestic rebellion. We highly encourage writing about how you almost folded the laundry but accidentally organized your sticker stash instead. Or how the vacuum cleaner looked at you funny, so you retaliated by crafting for 3 hours straight. Priorities, people.

These FREE printables come in A5, half page, and full page sizes with coordinating envelope templates and envelope seals—because cleaning can wait, but stationery should never be ignored. So grab a pen, pour a drink (coffee, wine—we don’t judge), and embrace the art of creative chaos.

The Broom Can Wait, This Letter Can’t!

The dishes sighed, the laundry groaned,
The vacuum wept, the clutter moaned.
But I had plans (of noble kind)—
To leave the mess and write, unwind!

The broom looked sad. The mop looked mad.
But honestly? I’m not that bad.
I chose to write, not scrub or sweep—
My chores can nap. Let’s call it sleep.

So here’s a note I wrote with glee,
While dust and chaos envied me.
A letter sent, my soul feels bright—
And yes, the house survived the night.

I use a coated paper to print my stationery off on to to bring out the vivid colors in the design. If you want your stationery to stand out you can purchase it here Epson S041062 Matte Presentation Paper, 27 lbs. Matte, 8-1/2 x 11  I highly recommend Canon PIXMA G5020 Wireless MegaTank Single Function SuperTank Printer | Mobile & Auto 2-Sided Printing this is the printer that I use and I print out a high volume of full page prints that are perfect every time. It comes with a year’s supply of ink for most people. If you are a business you will need to replenish every few months at a cost on average $32.00 for all 3 colors. The black ink that comes with the printer has lasted me almost 2 years. You can use any weight from (USA) 20 lb. to 32 lb. I prefer 24 to 28 lb. but usually decide on whichever is cheaper at the time of purchase. In the UK 110gsm paper is preferred to print the stationery and envelopes. I still recommend using a photo coated paper for the best results.
