As a kid it was fascinating - so very well done.<br /><br />Jo, <br />My kids are actually pretty thoughtful with their gifts - probably because they have heard me complain so much :)Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-88409015170842654082017-03-25T07:55:54.410-05:002017-03-25T07:55:54.410-05:00Gifts are special.

I’ve gotten small eye glasses for my purse, we got a sun screen for the windshield of the van, potato peeler when mine was not good, etc. Many weird gifts in my life. We have really cut back on the giving.

Usually with a couple of snapshots of the family.<br /><br />Even though these cards were bought in a gift store, I eagerly awaited the next one. My mother was also amazed by them.<br /><br />I believe they were hand printed, and the paper was very matte finish. You could almost smell the fresh ink.<br /><br />Just artsy on the front, and blank on the inside for your letter. There was a little see-through blotter paper designed for old style pens.<br /><br />mmmmm....Die schönen Kartennoreply@blogger.com
