My Creative Boys

My boys (including the husband) asked me to make a card for a nice young man in our church who is a freshman in college, on a lacrosse scholarship, and blew out his knee during his first college game.

First, I was very impressed that my boys actually thought about sending a card - AND they splurged on an Inta Juice gift card.

Second, I was a little annoyed when I got the list of don'ts: no bling, no ribbon, no patterned paper, no coloring, nothing popped or dangling, and definitely, without a doubt, no glitter.  (Have they ever looked at my cards, how often do I ever use glitter??!)

Third, then they impressed me with a very creative idea.  They wanted a lacrosse stick, broken, with a band-aid and a "OOPS".  I had to let them down with the "oops" but I did have an "uh-oh".

Not quite my usual card - but my boys are thrilled!!  (I really should have added some bling just to be annoying!)
