dyk my Jen-friend (there were 2 there lol) who hadn't done it before this year was asking me about her 3yo's card that was basically scribbles and circles and a J and she was worried --- and I told her that 3 years ago ALL 80 cards were EXACTLY like that -- and the residents LOVE them b/c they knew the kids made them! and the kids pass them out
dyk like I said.. the cards have come a long way -- check them out
