Got the Best Reaction from Card Recipient Today
 

I took my five year-old daughter to a classmate's birthday party this afternoon. It was a Spiderman-themed party, so I made him this card:

This picture is pretty crummy actually. It looks much better IRL.

Anyway, the birthday boy opens the card and says, "WOW! This card is SWEET!" (saying Sweet in two syllables - like "SAA-WEET!"

I totally wasn't expecting such an enthusiastic response, but it sure was neat!

how cool is that? Love it when recipients 'notice' our cards!

Pat yourself on the back! YOU ROCK!

That is awesome! 5yo's NEVER lie, even to be polite ;)

Wow - the ultimate compliment!! When I've done kids' cards, the moms like them but the kids don't even seem to notice... You got the ULTIMATE compliment!! Congrats :) and thanks for sharing!!

Great compliment! My 7 year old uses that term for only the coolest stuff!

Makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?

My DS (9yo) started saying that this year too...LOL

How awesome! My son just turned 8 and he likes to say that, too! Not so sure he'd say that about one of my cards, though...

I know exactly what you mean. A lady asked me to make a card for her DH's 40th birthday a few weeks ago. The only info she gave me was that he liked gardening and Formula One! I found it really hard to find anything really manly for gardening and I ordered a F1 car stamp which didn't arrive in time. So, as a back up I made one of those Flip Books and when I met her I explained the situation and showed her the alternative that I had made (telling her she was not obliged to purchase it if she didn't like it). So, there I was, prepared for this major disappointment. But when I looked at her she was almost in tears and through her watery eyes stated that "it is all I could have imagined and so much more." at which point I almost cried! LOL

So to all those people for whom we spend our time making cards - even just a little appreciation goes an extremely long way. It makes our efforts so much more worthwhile.

Sweet! Great job!!!

My favorite reaction I never saw. I found out that our neighbor cut the saying I put on his graduation card out of the card and carries it in his wallet. Makes me smile everytime I think of it.

My other favorite was the card I made for my friend's nephews commitment ceremony. The guys loved it so much they had the card with them during the ceremony.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing it!

That's awesome. And kids never lie! It is a pretty sa-weet card--love the black stickle spider!!
