Happy Birthday Grandson

Saturday was my youngest grandson's birthday. He turned 14, and I'm ashamed to admit that I totally procrastinated putting a card together for him. I was scurrying at the last minute and made this one, but it totally isn't what I originally had in mind. Collin isn't a musician nor really that "into" music. He is into gaming (X-Box/DS3), tennis or cross country racing/running, but not music. I saw several digital images that would have worked for his interests, and I had even bought, some time back, the Magnolia Edwin tennis player with Collin in mind. Did I buy or use any of those -- well, as you can see, the answer is NO.

Despite it being a special young man's special day, I just could not seem to get my "act together" nor my Muses working! Consequently (shhh, don't let this get out), I ended up using an image that I already had coloured up -- the above little rocker guy ("Rockin Kody" by Some Odd Girl). OK, I figured I could just tie it in, even though it wasn't REALLY Collin by using the sentiment "You Rock." Did I? Umm, well, you can see I didn't. I'm really hanging my head at this point :-(

So, all things being what they were (and my having dropped a couple notches on the "Super Grandmother" scale), the card was made and given (along with an appropriately nice gift), and being the polite, gracious little kid (er, I mean young man) that Collin is, he made adequately appreciative remarks. Thanks, Sweetie, next year I promise to do better!
