When Daniel turned 15, his birthday card showed him
writing music on his laptop computer. This year his mum asked me to show him playing the piano and wearing his favourite blue hoodie and ear pods. Apparently he always wears the same blue hooded sweatshirt and always has the white ear pods in his ears! Sounds like a normal 16 year old, right?
The card was well received. "Another great success!" his mum wrote to me.
Eilon, one of Daniel's younger brothers, also recently celebrated his birthday. There are five boys in their family and they ALL receive one of my cards on their big day. Mum tells me that it has become a family tradition.
Eilon was turning 7. He is still very into ninja (
last year I showed him swinging from some wooden hoops in a new play area he had visited) so mum sent me a picture of him running up a
warped wall. Apparently Eilon loves the photo. In the background she asked me to include some of the books from a series he enjoys as well. Of course I added a big number 7 to mark his age.
Mum was delighted with the card when she saw it, "I love it. Eilon will be thrilled!". A couple of days later she sent me these fabulous photos of him opening his card:
"Such a perfect card! He loves it so much! He was so emotional yesterday, he was teary eyed with excitement."

Fun cards to show these boys' personalities!
Wow, 5 boys! That's a lot of birthday cards to keep you busy. It's obvious how much your cards are loved. xx
lovely cards and so happy faces! you surely know how to make someone smile <3
I am with VeggieMummy.. 5 boys is quite a family to look after! My son has only four children and he is already feeling over committed ha ha.
If you do the cards annually, use just one or two of each boy's talent each year.. so you don't run out of special activities.
What amazing personal cards, they must take a while to make. #pocolo
I love both cards, the boys personalities really shine through. I love your piano, that must have taken ages to create.
These are both smashing cards. You can see how much love and attention goes into each one. x
Brilliant birthday card x #pocolo
How wonderful that giving your personalized birthday cards has become a family tradition for this family. The photos of Eilon being so touched by your card is precious.
