Now she uses it as a garland for their Christmas tree each year.

It's ironic that my husband is like yours too. I can't tell you how many cards I've rescued from the trash. <BR/><BR/>A while ago I saw a creative idea of Christmas cards, you can turn them into ornaments for your tree. You cut them and fold them in different ways to make unique ornaments. I think there was also a way to make them where you could still read the message inside. Have I ever done this? No, but I have shoe box full of cards waiting to be transformed into ornaments. LOL, maybe one day.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046770101176634067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-42822283451721809952008-08-01T08:36:00.000-07:002008-08-01T08:36:00.000-07:00Jacob is so handsome!

It's so satisfying to throw away useless clutter. Of course, not all things are useless. For cards, I keep the special ones in a small box. I hate throwing cards away!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610084235933374679noreply@blogger.com
