I don’t save cards. I display them - usually for months after receiving them - on our piano, but then I either use them for some kind of craft or toss them in some way. Oddly, it’s because I am too sentimental; I’m fully middle aged and I’d have soooo mannnny cards and resent the storage space they’d take up, but be unable to part with them if I saved them. Best do it sooner than later. BUT I can’t bring myself to get rid of the photo ones. At least not of the people we care about (sorry bank loan officer).
I had saved a pin for making a Little Golden Book into a “binder” for keeping holiday cards and after making this treat box from a Little Golden Book I decided to do this!
I changed mine from those I saw online with the details, of course, but also by having it open from the top rather than the left side - I used a 2-hole punch. The book and all the everything else came from stash. WOO!
I think that there is at least one more stash, perhaps two, around here somewhere, but I only found one of them yesterday. I’m pretty sure that last year’s were put into one of the xmas dec totes. Maybe?
This is so cute and I love the reuse of Little Golden Books.
I also love seeing that I am not the only one with a touch of Christmas fever already. Ha!
Thanks! Agreed - a testament to how loved they are by their target market, I guess. I think I picked up the few I have at garage sales and I think resalers get most of the ones in better condition from the thrift stores before I get a chance.
I see them at garage sales and estate sales pretty frequently (although not as often the Christmas ones). Do you want me to pick one up for you, @geekgirl?
