My dd made several of these today and they turned out pretty nice. It's a nice gift for grandparents which they can keep for as long as they like. Also, if you can't think of anything to say for gifts you also recieved, it's a great way to say thanks without having to think of how to say how much you loved the puce sweater that was 12 sizes too large.
Great for kids who are not old enough to write.
