You see, it's the thought that counts. The more you make, the more thought goes into it. The more you buy, the less thought goes into it. I don't generally give cards, but when I do, they are all hand-made.
I take the time to get a card that says something I like. most of the times I am looking for something outrageously funny :) But I hear you Dave! Homemade takes time and effort, and just the fact that it was Homemade speaks volumes.
