Store bought cards are great and all, but I like to make my own cards for Ed whenever a card-giving occasion comes around. I never really got enough of arts and crafts as a kid, and let’s be honest – no store in the world is going to carry a card dirty enough for me to give.

Here’s the card I made for Ed yesterday:

all the book titles are real except for one - guess!

He’s getting a Kindle for his birthday, which will be purchased when we visit America next weekend for pre-birthday (mine) Mexican food. I photoshop’d up an appropriately sized fake Kindle, printed it on cardstock, and gave it to him in a Kindle holder for effect. It turned out pretty convincing, actually:

tricksy!

I am frequently amused by my own antics.
