Had a customer pull a sample from her purse at the counter last Tuesday

I was working the front desk at a small print shop in Portland and this woman, maybe 55, pulls out a folded up napkin with a hand-drawn logo on it. She said her grandson drew it and she wanted it on 50 t-shirts for a family reunion. I scanned it and cleaned it up in Photoshop, and she actually cried when she saw the proof. Has anyone else had a random keepsake turn into a rush print job like that?

Had a buddy who runs a screen printing shop in Eugene, some lady came in last summer with a crumpled up receipt that had a little doodle of a cat wearing a cowboy hat on it. She said her son drew it years ago and she found it cleaning out his old room, wanted it on 30 hoodies for a family thing. Took him like three tries to get the scan right because the paper was so wrinkled, but when he showed her the final version she straight up hugged him.

Thirty hoodies off a wrinkled receipt? That's insane.
