I would rather have a home made card

In this day and age, hand written letters have been replaced by email. The time and effort required to carefully and neatly craft a letter is a skill that has become lost. In this spirit, it is common to spend $5 on a Hallmark card that catches your eye and takes about 15 seconds to consider purchasing. I would rather receive, and give, a home made card - preferably created by children. Such a card captures a moment in a child's development and becomes a keepsake . Children love to draw and color and will often put great effort into their creation. Their hearts will warm as you enthusiastically enjoy their creation. I believe there is a connection that occurs with a home made card that Hallmark can never capture. So, if you receive a home made card from me or my family? It isn't completely because I am a cheapskate . It is because I want to share something more than a traditional card can give.
