Friends 'R' Family

All of us give and receive greeting cards, if you're like me, that adds up to more than 100 per year. (For me it's 100 just at Christmas thanks to a large family and a lot of good friends.) So every year I save all the card covers that have not been written on, and reuse them the next year to help save on cost and paper use. The greeting cards become greeting postcards and with the addition of a sticker or two, just as gorgeous as a full blown card. I store them all in a 100% recycled material card box and keep things organized along with embellishments, stickers, address labels and envelopes. Card giving is a large part of my life from year to year and this is my little way of giving back to Mother Earth while I let my friends and family know they are thought of with love and affection.

It is an easy way to recycle. I had cut all mine apart to send you the tops when my Cousin said why don't you keep them to cut out the stuff off the front when you make your own cards. What a great idea~in trying to help you recycle i was forgetting to recycle myself. LOL
