It's amazing how that works, isn't it, @weirdheadaches? How people can really love the little things we do, even if we don't really think much of them. My younger son made a pretty simple but very useful paper towel holder for one of his shop projects. I don't know what we would do without it. :)

There's certainly a lot to be said for sentimental value. Parents are used to giving so much, for so little in return, that when things like this happen, for better or for worse, they tend to get elevated in our minds and in our hearts. :)
