Christmas Cards--What to do with them?
We are out of school here…The threat of snow, combined with a litigious society (sorry for the commentary) and the memory of several children stranded on school buses in a surprise 2009 snow storm, has compelled most superintendents in the Cincinnati area to call it a day–before it even started!
Ah, well. I will make the most of it, I hope. Christina Katz posted this idea on her Facebook. I am very intrigued, and if I can pull myself away from this computer and an exponentially-growing pile of laundry, I am going to do this! Every year, I bundle up my Christmas cards in January and stick them in a drawer. I just cannot bring myself to toss them. Friends and family have taken time to wish us joy and happiness and keep us updated on their lives. They seem too personal to pitch.
The idea from Ali Edwards is terrific! Whether you are a scrapbooker or not, it might be fun to try. It could make a wonderful art piece to bring out at Christmas or to leave framed all year!

I’ll let you know if I get this accomplished. Between the laundry, the writing goals, and the teenager who wants to practice driving in the snow (yikes), I might need an art project like this. Be sure to click here for a total description and wonderful pictures!
