I saw this idea on a blog somewhere and I can not remember where. But I thought it was a great one. What do you do with all the Christmas cards you get? Please don't say throw them away!! Especially those with a photo on it. Yes I have an obsession with not throwing away photos. It's just not right.
I think it's so much fun to look back at Christmas cards throughout the years. Here is a way to keep it organized...
Just punch a hole in the upper corner of each card and attach them to a metal ring. I added a simple tag that I printed out on the computer that has the year on it. You could go a step further and add ribbon and more embellishments. Next Christmas I plan on putting a basket somewhere around the house with these little card "albums" in it.On to my next Christmas leftover. Mini candy canes! What do you do with these? I saw these little creations on this blog. (see below) What a great idea, huh? Just in time for Valentine's Day! I did these the other day for Andrew and he loved them. He laughed at them but ate them right up. You could even make these and put a wrapper on them and give them to your children's school friends. I'm not doing that but hey I though it was a good idea. No, I have something else planned for his school friends.
See below for all the pics...
No candy cane in this shot but I had to include it. Just look at that sweet face. :-)

Thank you Shelly! That is great you are measuring too!! Good luck!
Thanks sis!
such cute ideas for the candy canes!! And I planned on doing that idea with the cards, too...you know, once I get Ben's tree down in his room. yes, he still has his Xmas tree up!! hehe I think Elizabeth Kartchner did the card book thingy, too. I also wanted to use some of them to make gift bags. Can't remember where I saw that.
Thank you for the Christmas card idea! I have bundles in the garage that I have never been able to throw away. Also I can't wait to see what you are doing for Valentine's Day. You are full of such great ideas.
