September 24, 2016 at 12:30 pmThis was super easy and turned out great. Thank you for the template. We completed our dandelion as a family project (everyone used a different color ink for their fingerprints) and changed the word WISH into “Wishes Do Come True.” It will make a beautiful keepsake for years to come.

August 18, 2016 at 7:43 amThe down load link worked fine for me? Maybe it’s because it opens directly into the “box app”? If you don’t have it maybe that’s the issue? Are you working from a cell phone or PC? Good luck!

July 31, 2016 at 11:58 amI love this idea and will be making them as Thank You cards for parents in my preschool classroom. I am using your graphic and adding paint with cotton swabs. Each parent will get an end of the year card that says “Your child has helped me grow, professionally and personally, this year.”
