homemade vs store bought

personally, i make my own cards. i like giving personal things as a gift. i dont know why, but i feel better when i give something that comes out from my personal collections.

I'm not sure if the people i give my hand made cards to actually keep them, i think they keep them as keepsakes, though they don't frame them (but it sounds like a lovely idea to!). I mainly give them to close family memebers and friends, bascially to the people who i know will appreciate them! Anyone who i don't think would appreciate them or who i'm not that keen on just gets cheapo store bought cards. I've had a few hand made cards given to me which i've kept, again as keepsakes.

I usually only make cards for those I know who will appreciate it. My boyfriend keeps all the cards I ever made for him in a special box he bought especially for them. My mom also keeps all the cards I have ever made her. Sometimes I sell them online, so I know, that they are being enjoyed, othewise the people that buy my cards could have just gone elsewhere and gotten any old card.
