HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Oops. Forgot to make a New Year's day entry.
I've just been crafty with some Christmas cards. I keep my favorite cards from each year. My piles of old cards always adds up and I never know what to do with them besides stuffing them in boxes with movie stubs and photos. This year I came up with a great idea!
I took three cards of different sizes with the same theme (glittery snowmen), poked holes in them, and attached them all with some ribbon. Best of all -- this project cost nearly nothing! I haven't figured out where I'll put this next year, but maybe I'll hang it from the mini-blinds or tack it to the wall or a door. Hmm...now that I think about it, our coat closet door looked a little blank this year. Maybe that's where I'll hang it.
Another neat idea for old Christmas cards is to frame them for a holiday picture collage. Check out the photo of our dining table at Christmas. The framed pictures on the wall over the table are old Christmas cards. Christmas cards that don't scream CHRISTMAS (i.e., cards without Santa, snowmen, reindeer, etc.) can be left up on the wall all year round.
