I'll save them in a box to pull out in future years to compare with new ones. I did save parts of a few cards to make tags out of, but was not so organized as to actually cut them into tags like you. I keep a copy of our letter and my daughter's letter, but not the rest. It was just yesterday that I dispensed of the Christmas card basket. It was the last of the signs of the holiday season around here. But I love still seeing your tree.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-19549481700227934362014-01-10T20:24:21.731-06:002014-01-10T20:24:21.731-06:00Wonderful idea for the cards .

It does make sense to do it while it is fresh on your mind and not when it's super busy in December. I think it's great you still have the Shiny Brite Tree out to enjoy.

I didn't think I was going to work today so was planning to start taking some things down. I got called in late in the morning so I went to work. The shiny brites is a Christmas decoration but it can be just a winter decoration too.L.
