You know your friend loves you when…! Our ‘friends’ hardly remember birthdays, let alone send cards! You and Jennifer are very lucky to have each other as friends! 😊

[@jacquipaper]

Kristin, that is a beautiful card. Full of love and friendship. It just goes to show that we can all put our hands in our pockets and buy a gift for a friend. But nothing compares to something you made to give them. You thought of them, spent time on making it, and gifted that effort and time away. For me, that's more than anything someone could buy.

[@Tessiefaye]

Wow. I'd still be crying if I got a hand-drawn card with my dog on it. That's so thoughtful and beautiful.

[@DeafSheltieMom]

Kristina, you so perfectly captured why we make cards... Love for the recipient, thoughtfulness, and joy. What an amazing card for a fabulous friendship. I adored Jennifer's reaction "I see a dog butt!"😂. Beautiful card, Kristina, and Happy Birthday, Jennifer!

[@stefaniagambino3627]

That’s the kind of friendship and the kind of kindness the whole world needs! Simple things that turn a bad day into a great day. You two make the world a better place🤗
