Don’t you just love homemade cards? Here’s one my 8 year old completed earlier in anticipation of tomorrow. Having just put him to bed, here’s how I’m guessing it’s done:-
1. Stick three pieces of paper together with excessive amounts of glue
2. Get glitter all over your bedroom floor and a teeny bit on the card.
3. Get glue all over the floor and mix it with the glitter to secure on to the floor and card.
4. Tear up bits of tissue paper to stick on to the paper to make the letters. Get red tissue paper stain all over the walls and floor.
5. Go to bathroom and apply mothers lipstick to most of face.
6. Kiss the paper. Wipe rest off on hands and subsequently wall and leave remainder smudged on face.
7. Stick a £5.00 note (of your own money) to the paper rather too securely.
8. Present to unsuspecting mother with large grin and dollops of glue, glitter and lipstick all over face.
9. Let heart burst with pride because mother ridiculously pleased with card.
10. Big hug moment needed to transfer glitter and glue to mother’s face.

Lots of little things all day make the best days. Waiting for the big thing can lead to a letdown when it finally does happen, littles are way better.

November 12, 2008wow if you screw your eyes up and look at the card..it looks like a pretty face..
the HA are the eyes,
and then underneath the B is the nose and the mouth is the er mouth duh!!
or is just me that sees it,
perhaps it was intentional..
or maybe its one of the psycometric images that everyone sees something different..and YOU dont get the job!!
