Most of the time I will just sign the card, maybe a witty word or two. But sometimes inspiration strikes. I've been known to make cards by hand for friends and family... with crayons. And a piece of paper folded in half. No, I can't draw. And then the envelope is two pieces of paper stapled together. It's ghetto af but people usually get a laugh. Usually.
Sometimes I will hand someone an index card with BIRTHDAY written on one side.
One time I completely filled the left inside cover with my sloppy-ass block print. Just stream of consciousness stuff. And in the middle I put "At this point I'm guessing you're regretting starting to read this aloud, because I know that's exactly what you're gonna do with each and every card."
Not sure I'll ever top that one.
This is hilarious! I make my cards too, I actually cannot write, so it's easier to type. But they're very sloppy, although I did design them myself.
