Lovely grandson with lovely cards

Lovely grandson with lovely cards

I have been making cards for a long time now but when my grandson became older I thought he would no longer appreciate "Grandma's cards".

So I bought him a teenager card with computers mobile phones etc in the design.

When he opened it his face told the story.

I whispered to my son "What's the matter?".

"He was expecting a handmade one" came the answer.

I have never made the same mistake again.

He is twenty now and he always comes to see me for his card and I do my best not to disappoint.

What a lovely story Betty and I am so glad you still send out cards that you have made yourself.

They are so personal and I can imagine your grandsons dissapointment not to get his special one from you on his birthday.

lovely to hear
by: elaine

so nice to hear of a grandson appreciating a hand made card. I can imagine how thrilled you were. I sent my baby grandson a bought 1st birthday card, and two weeks after his 9year old sister a handmade one, as she opened it, she looked up and said have you made this Nanna? I said yes, her face lit up and she finished opening it with a 'YES' shouted out.
To say it made my day was an understatement, she loved the card too,
What a rewarding hobby we have.

Home made
by: julie

That's great, you just can't beat a home made card. I send them out all the time now, and have just started my Christmas cards, as last year I was a bit late and don't like to rush them :>)

GRANDSON'S CARDS
by: KATERINA

So nice to make cards or anything handmade for your family and friends. This give you the opportunity to show that you really care for them.

I always think about them when I make some (what they like colors,figures, signs, embelishment and that I think gives a special finish to the project I do).

Lovely idea the teenage card and happy grandson.
