Never underestimate how much your cards are appreciated

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.
