It Depends on the Friend

I always laughed at the thought of using PTI's Friendship Jar and Additions to create a "Well Preserved" birthday card. Kinda funny



Some people wouldn't care for this reminder. Others would take it in stride. Just depends on how well you now your friends. Or your family.  I'd advise against giving it to somebody who has had a face lift, because then it becomes more of a passive aggressive jab. Unless you mean it that way. If that is the case, slap a stamp on it and smile demonically when you pop it in the mail.

  5. This is so fun - what a great idea! You're right about giving it to the right person though. Your last several posts were very fun too. Love your little ones' pics. My son never did get the trike riding down, but was great w/a bicycle - go figure.
