Being crafty

I have to admit them I'm typically too lazy to be crafty, however, my eldest son is always full of ideas for me, should I ever get around to them.  But today he made a request I figured I could not in good faith deny.  He asked if we could take a photo of him and print his Valentine's Day card.  So that's just what we did tonight.  But since I know that other 6 year old will probably not appreciate  photo simply for the art of it, we decided to be crafty about.  While we have to wait for the photos to arrive before I can actually see if my genius (totally unoriginal) idea will work, I'm hoping it will for his sake.
So here's the photo card.  I'm not at all in love with the photo, but it's what he was giving me today...8 photos of...awkwardness. 
 So that's what we're using.  The design is a template which I did not create but love.  And the idea is to punch a whole in the photo at the top and bottom of his hand and slide a real sucker through it so it looks like he's holding it.  I'll hopefully post photos of the finished product sometime next week.  Assuming the site I print my personal photos through decides to work again.

  3. What a neat idea! So creative.

    Thank you SOO much for your comment. I really appreciate it. I've had time to reflect what I saw in my post, on top of what we have been through the past year and a half. I think "mamma bear" syndrome came to play, and I have to let MY stubbroness/bitterness towards that "teacher" and principle ease away to help my son. Thank you.
