Send some extra fun...

Ok, so I admit-I'm totally old-school when it comes to wrapping kids birthday gifts. The Sunday comics. What would we do without them? My mom always wrapped with them and I guess it rubbed off... And after Chloe's first year of preschool with 15+ birthday parties -the handmade birthday cards became awfully handy too. I just can't imagine dumping all that money into wrapping paper and cards!

Here we have a picture of Gabe and his neighbor friend...It was taken in November and he had his birthday party last week. It was one of those last minute neighborhood things... so I scrounged for the comics (yea! we had some!) and whipped up a quickie card for him.

There are many free photo editing sites that let you convert your photo to a pencil sketch. I thought this would be a great little "extra gift" for him to be able to color-- and it's personalised!

Check out some of these sites for fun editing...
