I've always kept my cards thinking one day I would do something creative with them, but I just never did. But now I know the perfect thing to do. This is a wonderful idea.

I do it myself: http://asteriahanover.blogspot.com/2008/12/holiday-cards.html And am glad to know of a place who will take the leftovers when I get too ambitious! What a perfect program for all of the card exchanging we do and a second life for memories to boot. <abbr><em>Jessica's last blog post..<a target="_blank" href="http://asteriahanover.blogspot.com/2009/01/three-days-off-and-to-do-list.html" rel="nofollow">Three Days Off and a To Do List</a></em></abbr> Love reading about this.

I usually go thru my Xmas cards and save the ones that I really liked and can't part with and use them for book marks. Many moons ago when I went to Catholic School, I didn't realize that the nuns were recycle minded. They used to ask all the children to bring in their old cards. They would cut out what they used for crafty items and we used up the rest for scrap paper used for a quiz or just to figure out some math problems. Local businesses would donate all kinds of other paper. We were not funded by the town or the state, so they recycled. Tuition was $25.00 a year. Can you believe that? Elly D. That’s a great idea.
