remember my picture christmas card post from last year?
well, just in case you missed it... and are wondering what to do with all those awesome picture christmas cards.
i've got the most simple, cheap and quick way to organize and keep them.
all you need is a hole punch and some rings.
punch some holes (the same width apart), and put them together!
this year i took the pretty top off another christmas card and used it as my cover.
adding the year with this handy dandy thing of which i don't know the name of.
i bring them out every year and they're always getting looked at by us and by our guests.
this whole thing literally took me about 10 minutes.
ahhhhh.
i LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. quick accomplishments!
Awesome! Can you arrange mine? And my 40th...err...27th birthday cards? :-)

It's a Dymo Labeller. I have a big steel industrial one that was my Gramps'. It's probably and antique, but it works just fine. I also have a cheap plastic one ($2 at the dollar store) and an electronic version as well. I'm a bit of a label junkie.

Aaaaawweeeee.....The ole DYMO labeller.... I used to use that to keep all my high school binders in order - so funny because I was so "high tech" back then! That funky rolls of the plastic tape in (only) five colors red, blue, black, green and yellow. Yellow was lame because you couldn't the the pressed out white color. It belonged to my dad and it was really heavy, made of metal. LOL!

LOVE this idea! I have envelopes of cards from years past. Can't bear to throw them all away! This is my fix! Thank you for the idea!

I've been doing this for 7 or 8 years now and I just love looking back through them every season.
